Comments: Atypical Context
Bottom line is what works for one doesnt for another and so on. That is the problem with these meds, and that is the key problem with docs dispensing them without hearing anecdotal stories such as yours.
Every person reading this blog has a med story.
Hell, on Prozac I stood on the roof of my car at a mechanic, in the pouring rain, screaming I was going to kill myself. Prozac is my horror story and it was a bitch to get off of too.
My hesitation to start Seroquel is from my own past experiences with all meds. Every one of them gave me a reason to hate it.
I am also treating Seroquel as temporary, and remaining on purpose, low dose.
Not going onto the docs guidelines he has from the FDA on this med.
I didn't personally have depression to knock down, in my case it was mania so bad I was going to end up dead. The Seroquel stopped that.
I could end up being one of the people it works for low dose, long term.
All I know is it save my life. Which does not mean it will save someone else's.
