I wish I knew your actual diagnosis so I could help you more. Ed I think knows more, you have anxiety or depression with psychotic features?Antipsychotics work quite fast, but you cant just put them all over the map, you have to take them as your doctor prescribes or ask your doctor if you can take them another way. It is likely that you have moved from AM to PM to AM and PM and back to PM and the amount of Seroquel in your system has been going back and forth. Its nothing that should make you frightened though I can understand it is not pleasant at all, Jeroen.
You may have OCD along with your other diagnosis. This is not uncommon. The Seroquel simply covered your OCD as well as an SSRI could, perhaps.
That's how I'd view it -- why don't you babblemail Ed when he's less busy and he can explain it.
