hi just came across this site and i have to say it has brought some comfort. thought i was the only one with problems.

my story started last april when i took an overdose. gradually got put up to 60mg of fluoxetine from psych and the first few weeks were a nightmare. dry mouth and a splittin sore head that wouldnt go away. i have good and bad days. ive also been put on quetiapine 100mg in the morning and 300mg at night. feel like sh*t again. ive also got ocd and self harm on a regular basis.

sorry to be such a moan but its felt good getting that out. just want to say thank god for this site

take care

xxxx

    welcome glasgow girl, glad you decided to post, its good to get it out in the open, even online. Is quetiapine for helping you sleep?

    hi

    the quetiapine is to keep me balanced.

    got quite hyper a wee while ago and the psych gave it to me to bring me down. im back down on a downer again and i took a sh*t load of zopiclone the other nite and ended in casualty. honestly cant see an end to it.

    take care x

    Not being able to see the end of it is the depression talking. sad You have to try to hang on until you feel good enough to question your own feelings, and realise they are not really you. I really know where you are coming from, it can really get you into a bad place, but you will be able to get out of it, there will be a time when you will not be in that bad place.

    Be strong.

    So is it bi-polar you have, or just depression and ocd?
