Sorry, y'all, I can't offer support today because as periodically happens to me, today I'm sidelined due to CKD pain from that psychiatric who prescribed me too much Seroquel for my PTSD nightmares.  :-(  Sometimes it passes overnight, so I hope to be back functioning as your CL here tomorrow.  Support welcome.

So sorry noone replied muji :( I have not been feeling good at all. How are you feeling tonight? I pray you are doing better! Pain is so hard to deal with! As you know i was put on seroquel at the highest dose twice daily after i was attacked in 2005 and the shrink i saw refused to take me off it making me gain 140 pounds in a year without over eating. I was just so drugged on it, he never even once suggested therapy or tried to help in any other way. Never had any big weight issue before that. Had gotten slighly overweight after my car accidnet but nothing major! Never did lose it all. I really hope and pray you are doing better!

Thanks for replying, AJ! It's so good of you! I appreciate your sharing your own Seroquel experience in particular, because it validates mine. Thank goodness I got off of that in exchange for Prazosin.

Your support is received with deep gratitude, my friend.

    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.
