I take a lot of medication and if the meds are not performing like they should than chances are trouble will soon be headed my way. In the morning I take 150mg of Effexor, 60mg of Cymbalta and 100mg of Seroquel. Four hours later I take another 100mg of Seroquel and four hours after that it is another 100mg of Seroquel but this time with a 35mg of Temazapam to follow it down. I have been on this combo since last November or so but my body is beginning to reject this handy combo.
In the last couple of weeks I have found it more and more difficult to leave my house early in the day. Use to be I would take the morning three meds and within half an hour I was able to go about my normal business but like I said this has changed. My brain seems to be hypersensitive until the third or so Seroquel dosage of the day when it begins to calm down. This realization hit rather hard today when I went out to do the weekly grocery shopping when the sudden urge to run like hell from the store before something bad could happen. So I left my half filled cart in the middle of the aisle and found the nearest exit.
This leads to the part that my family does not seem to get. I can not plan a couple of days in advance for I do not know where my brain is going to be that day and whether or not it will allow me to leave the house. It is an uncomfortable phone call trying to explain to someone that you are pretty damn sure if you leave your home the sky is going to fall and then trying to explain you are doing a lot better than you were a few months ago.
Back to the medication. Simple guess would be is that my body is beginning to build up a tolerance to Seroquel and the gap between bedtime and morning all of this wonderful anti psychotic basically leaves my system. So the possible solutions are (A) Set my alarm clock to wake up in the middle of the night to take a dose of Seroquel (B) Raise the morning dose to 200mg and hopefully that is enough to put my brain into the Seroquel haze. Then the question becomes what if it is not the Seroquel and it is either Effexor or Cymbalta to blame which is a whole new ball game. You have to love medication. Take care
