Iv been on this dose for nearly 3 weeks and it's just the last few days I've started to feel more like my own self.
At first I thought it wasn't doing anything, still anxious all day felt stoned and unable to go out, drive or anything. I worried because everyone one else seemed to improve within a week or so and I wasn't feeling any better. I must say my anxiety was severe, I was hospitalised twice within 2 month so maybe that's why it took longer or it may of been the addition of the quetiapine.... I don't know but I do know I won't be making any changes to my meds soon
Give it a good go before giving up on it
I know I'm eating more but at this point in time I'm more concerned about my mental health, the weight I can deal with when I'm in a better place getting my life back is my main aim
