> Are you taking and referring to Zyprexa or Seroquel? I've taken both and found Seroquel (even at a very low dose) to be far more sedating than Zyprexa in terms of Seroquel making me woozy and drowsy quite soon after taking it, whereas Zyprexa was a more subtle type thing. Never put me to sleep the way Seroquel did.

> I think of brain fog as being cloudy-minded, in a haze, unable to think clearly or focus, feeling kind of spacey and out-of-it, but I'm not sure anymore since you associate "brain fog" with OVERACTIVITY of dopamine, which I thought was a stimulating thing, so maybe "brain-fog" is something stimulating? Hmmmmm ... Could you describe your brain fog a bit? Thanks!My psychiatrist had me on Zyprexa. When i complained about agitation from my medications he wanted to give me Seroquel instead.
Seroquel is supposed to be better for agitation, but i never tried the medicatinonJohn
