@brightwings I started 150mgs of effexor probably about 2 months ago and Seroquel 50 mgs a month ago. I've increasely get very irritated,don't feel like being around people. I was doing great for the last 2 weeks and over the weekend or a little before things started going down hill. Like I'm slipping right back into being lost,blank minded and don't feel like doing anything. Getting scared again!

Correct me if I am wrong please, it seems this irritability and almost aversion to being around folks is new...since the Seroquel.
I won't tell you what to do. But leave you with this question. Is this how you choose to live your life?
For myself, if I did everything the docs suggested, I would be a drugged victim.
Yes, I had a terrible life, yes, I spent 33 years to get to where I am now. I am a do what ever it takes kind of girl.
Now, I know you are in therapy...are you allowing yourself to Tell the therapist or are you holding back stuff. Its your life...you get to choose how to live it...
I spent 22 years in therapy. I refused to allow the folks who hurt me destroy my life cuz then they would have won. I was worth a galaxy of tears to get to the end of my pain...AND I DID IT
So how far are you going to go in your life??? What steps are you willing to take? How badly do you want a life like so many other folks get to live?
Ok, if it was me, just as a regular person, I would turn in that Seroquel to what ever agency takes and properly disposes of dangerous drugs and I would find a group therapy to join. Make a commitment for a year...
I bet you will do well...smiling at you, Bright Wings
Who is going to the bluegrass music jam tonight for a huge dose of endorphins by singing her little heart out.
