Having trouble

Goddam seroquel! I got put back on it by the pdoc to help with the agitation and mood swings and he put me on a dose way higher than what I was originally on. 50mg morning, 50mg afternoon and 100mg nights.

I read a post that really riled me up and now my heart is going 10 to the dozen and I can't seem to bring myself back down to a level plain. Tried breathing, tried soothing music, tried doing something that I enjoy and still no joy.

Any suggestions would be welcome cos this is not a nice feeling that I'm experiencing.

Gosh mel, I don't know. Did you try going for a walk and get those endorphins going?

I have far too much adrenalin pumping round the body as it is. It feels like a panic attack and I haven't had one in ages but this feels worse

50 beats over a 30sec period.

I can't remember the conversion, normal resting hear rate for me is 52-54bpm

yep, my daughter is here too. My BF rang to check up on me but isn't sure what to do to help me so he said to jump onto DS and ask my friends.

Doesn't help that I feel groggy as well :(

I'm in New Zealand.

My previous dose was initially 50mg nights only then after 2mths it was increased to 100mg nights only. I've never had to take it during the day before

I'm not even sure if it's a panic attack I'm having or whether its the meds that are effecting me this way.

PS: Seroquel is the only med I'm currently taking

That's a huge jump in meds....not sure why they advised that.

I can't drive, but I'm looking in the phone book for an after hours clinic to see if there's a nurse I can talk to

I'd bet meds but it never hurts to have a doc check..

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
