What is Seroquel?

Says wash it down with bourbon, says me

Faarrgghh Blackshear, don't mix Seroquel with alcohol. You''ll be far gone and for quite a while.

Hmmm...wonder if that works

Nooo...

What I'm on does make for some funny dreams, though...

Recommend trying something else rather than stopping as quitting doesn't usually help. We all react differently to different meds and it's a trial and error process to settle on what works for you. I usually take about two to three weeks to get used to a drug.

I'm on 6 different meds plus painkillers for various issues. Three of them just for blood-pressure.

LOL!!! I was, wasn't I? The Wife and kids didn't know whether to laugh or cry while I was in critical. I was a hairs-breadth away from death and cracking everyone up!

Yeah, I think the number of meds is one reason it's harder to get back to fitness again. It took three different meds to bring it down and I could have died anytime just due to that.

Pills are shit, make me wake up a hundred times every night and are seriously made of anti-caffeine. If anything, they just make it worse. Good way to start your morning by waking up 5 minutes before your alarm.
Makes getting into the habit of running after work very fucking hard.
I give up.

What next? I'm not sure my marrow can keep up with this regeneration.
Not that I'm honestly expecting any answers.

Bacon, chicken and mozzarella tortellinis with homemade carbonara and parmesan cheese is great, btw.

Pills which stimulate you must be a tough call. They are probably doing what they are meant to but good sleep is primary for your health. Can the medication be tweaked so you get better rest?

Still have small bouts off depression every now and then,maybe 4/5 hrs tops,never think of topping myself anymore.Depression used to stay with me for weeks and sometimes months,tried meds ,didnt seem to help.Now life is fuckin awesome and its just getting better.The biggest thing that helped me was reading somewhere that depressing thoughts make you feel depressed and happy thoughts make you feel happy. Worked for me.

Ask your doctor if getting your ass up off the sofa is good for you.

If your meds are keeping you from sleeping, go back to the doctor and get a new prescription. keep doing that until you get one that works for you.
The last thing I was on (can't remember what the name was) kept me awake all night, so I stopped it, and I've been on Mirtazapine for a long time now - has the opposite effect and helps me to get to sleep. Only problem for a while is they made me want to eat all the time (not hungry, just want to eat), so I put on some weight. (They actually use them to treat anorexics and the like.) Now I'm used to them they're fine, no other unwanted side-effects, and all the exercise I got in conjunction with physio for my wrecked shoulder helped lose the weight, get me fitter (well... less unfit), and also helped my mood no end. (But not as much as being on holiday for four and a half weeks; now that I'm back at work again with fuck all to do, I'm finding it hard not to get bummed out).
