3 nights of sleep on #Seroquel and I've slept the best I have in years. I slept for 11 hours and had basically every recurring dream that I've ever had, vividly packed into one. Except without the stress part. I haven't really dreamed in years.

Yesterday I was able to be more present and positive, less inclined to snap over small things, and more productive because my brain wasn't so scattered. I was able to sit peacefully. Wow.

This is crazy. The good kind. #Bipolar #MentalHealth

I forgot to take my Seroquel last night. I lay in bed for hours not sleeping before I realized it. We'll just call it No-Sleep-Thursday.

Morning #1 on Seroquel - I slept so well. I woke up feeling good. I am currently enjoying a big cup of coffee and catching up on email/socials.

Tonight starts my journey on Seroquel. I'm taking it at bedtime because I read that it can knock you out. Basically since the start of the summer I have been unmedicated for mental health, only taking some things for diabetes and UCTD. I have been in a very good manic state the entire time (completely positive experience) and even lost a lot of weight. I think finding Mastodon and writing a bunch has helped steer my mood in the right direction. I've never had a manic state last this long, especially with so few downsides.

The one thing I've been worried about, though, has been what happens if this mania turns negative or destructive. The only downside to my current state is I rarely sleep. Even though my body is super fatigued from the autoimmune disease, I'm wired wide awake all the time. I agreed yesterday it is probably best to go back on meds. I've been on most bipolar meds up to this point but never tried Seroquel because of the potential for weight gain. We will just have to see if my Mounjaro helps with that.

Does anyone else have experience with Quetiapine / Seroquel causing a massive increase in suicidal ideation?

Like I've been getting really bad, like praying for death and fantasizing about ending it all.

I've stopped taking it which means I only got about three hours of sleep last night since it was prescribed for insomnia. It was great for insomnia but the other part is untenable if related. I was also losing the ability to carry on a coherent conversation and was constantly on the verge of a crying fit.

I hope it's the meds.

Can I type the hashtag for both #ozempic and #seroquel ? I ask because I'm looking for people who are on Seroquel and who are trying to do ozempic. I'm pretty hesitant. I'm on Seroquel 200mg nightly, depakote extended release (250 twice a day) and Zoloft 100mg.

So...yeah

its 3am. i need to take my seroquel
