I am feeling very irritable and sensitive to sounds and right now my neighbor is PISSING ME OFF? DOES HE REALLLLLLY NEED TO SLAM HIS CUPBOARD DOORS AT 12:30 am!??!? Wtf. he really IS a great neighbor but right now i am in the process of tapering down on Seroquel (have gone from 600 to 500 mg in less than a week and this is the way my pdoc told me to do it. I am still sleeping ok at night but my mood is all over the place. I am still having the feeling that i constantly need to move although not as badly as before...

I am just feeling very aggitated tonight :(

My personal rule of thumb is to taper off any med in 10% increments, and hold at one level for at least 2 weeks. This isn't a rush job and you may be trying to go too fast. I don't trust docs on this, they don't suffer for their bad advice.

I was the same for a few weeks not long ago I became very sound sensitive to my neighbour upstairs it was a nightmare I had to have my meds tweaked and the lower dose has stopped it completely, I agree with GoneCrazy buying headphones took the edge off I used them for the tv

I am not a whole lot better today. In fact the irritability and feeling like i have to keep moving is getting worse. I tried to call my psych and got her vmail so i left her a message. I just took a miligram of klonopin. To make matters even worse my allergies are acting up and i am having diarrhea. I had appendix cancer 6 years ago and had to have major abdominal surgeries (2 in one year!) It has left me with permanent digestion issues. I am either constipated or having the diarrhea multiple times a day. Sorry for the tmi...i wish i would've just died from the cancer. The whole world would've been better off...

It sounds like you need a med tweak if you're having extreme anxiety or maybe in a mixed state??

I am so anxious that i have bitten my fingernail to the quick and it f**** hurts. I took klonopin earlier and i was able to nap for a bit. But now i am back to feeling irritable. I can't concentrate on reading even though i have about twenty library books that i would LOVE to read. They just sit there.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
