Seroquel XR
Posted: Mon May 07, 2012 11:48 am
I had EXTREME Body Dysmorphia and Social Anxiety. I was taking the max amount of the best OCD medication out there; 300 mg of Fluvoxamine, along with 2 mg of Abilfy. I just could not take it anymore the past two weeks, I've had this way too long and I was yearning for help. I was having multiple nervous breakdowns in front of my parents and finally they got the picture and realized the intensity of my desperation. I went to my medicine doctor and told him everything. He then prescribed me 150 mg of Seroquel along with the 300 mg of Fluvoxamine I had been taking. The two in conjunction should show improvement he said...
Well, let me tell you. It has been only THREE days on this new medication and boy do I feel a HUGE improvement. I can go outside without feeling paranoid to the max and as if everyone is focusing and looking at me. I can go into public and social settings and I feel tremendously better than I used to. It definitely takes the edge off. I can tell ya that much. And you take it three hours before bed time. And just a heads up, you feel quite sedated, at least on my dosage, those three hours before bed. During the day you just feel very relaxed, calm, and I feel extremely focused for once in a long, long time. I can sit down and read a book, I can drive well now, I can do homework for hours on end without feeling mighty anxious and depressed~
All in all, this medication was a huge homerun for me. I hope this has helped you if you were considering trying Seroquel or another medication.
Sincerely,
Emily!
