Hi, due to sleeplessness for over a year, going through a divorce and settlement with an abusive and un-coperative shit man, plus a v small amount of cannabis, I had a short psychotic episode (really, it felt like dreaming while awake) about 3 weeks ago and was admitted to an assessment ward where I came off paroxatine and was stabilised with olanzapine.
I was discharged afte 5 days, continuing on 20 mg paraxatine, with the addition of 100mg quetiapine to take at night. Yes I certainly needed the quetiapine to begin with, but am now sleeping a lot during the day as well. Ex has only just moved out of the house (yesterday in fact), and I'm seeing my psych next week.
I just wondered if this was normal for taking quetiapine - I have been on it about 3 weeks. There is a back history, I believe most of my mh problems stem from living with an abuser, won't go into it in this post, but can answer questions. To me it feels like I've caught up with my sleep and now the quetiapine is overdoing things.
Obviously I'll speak with my psych about this.
Re-reading before posting, it's earlier days than it feels, but I'd still like to know others' experiences. Not smoking anything but fags atm.
