Dear Susan, good to hear that you are not in crisis and that your pdoc is aware. I hope she is of good support for you.
If it's seroquel withdrawal you are facing let's hope it will pass soon.
Sending you love and hugs.

did you get the results back from the biopsy? maybe you mentioned it but i didn't see it.
i don't know what is the correct kind of support in a situation like this where you are sleeping sooooo much and are so tired. i'm not familiar with seroquel withdrawal.
anyway, we're here. whenever you're ready. i hope you're feeling better soon.
I don't know if this is of use for you but I do know that to drink lots of water and eat mostly fruits for a few days, refraining from junk food, sugar, and caffeine and stuff like that, will help your system clean itself. So maybe that could help you get rid of the withdrawal effects sooner.
I think fresh air and getting some exercise, (taking walks) might help in this respect too.
If this lasts too long I'd get in touch with a doctor again...
love, be well,
jessi
Susan was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia a couple of days ago. Her fever is down and she's been rehydrated. The doc thinks she may have had it for a couple of weeks.
Her sister and I spoke at length last night. She cares deeply for Susan and is willing to do anything necessary to help her feel better.
Thanks for letting us know about her. I was worried.

I've never had Seroquel withdrawal, but Cymbalta withdrawal has gotta be like getting off of crack, so I hear you. I know you'll feel better soon! Good luck!
Thank you very much anonymous for letting us know. Very sorry to hear Susan is in hospital.
I'll be thinking of her and sending prayers.
Love, jessi
I received an email from Susan's sister saying she's doing better. She's eating a little and sleeping a lot. The doctors think she will probably stay in the hospital several more days.
I gave her a call two days ago but she was too sleepy to talk. I may try again tonight.
Susan is staying with her parents but is still very weak. It will take time for her to regain strength. Apparently she doesn't have enough energy to use the computer yet.
I've been on Seroquel for about 6 weeks now. I'm terrified of how bad it will be if I am taken off it. I've heard alot about it having bad withdrawals
Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Celulite, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://eliminando-a-celulite.blogspot.com. A hug.
i hope you're recovering and feeling better soon. my thoughts are with you.
Sorry for not updating in a while. While recovering from pnsumonia at her parents' house Susan became ill again.
The condition was mysterious and I'm not sure they ever figured it out entirely. She was unable to walk or talk and was in a lot of pain. She was admitted to the hospital again and had physical therapy once she was able.
She's now back home with her parents and the last I heard from her sister she was doing much better.
I plan to call her soon and will let you know the latest.
Susan,
Although I don't know you I hope you're fine!
i just read about someone else having a hard time with seroquel. i hope things get better for you soon.
Hi all,
The blog is live again. Thank you anon for your kind updates, and thank you all for caring about me.
I feel touched and humbled.
Sincerely,
Susan
