Hello I am new to Mayo Clinic and new to medicine. I was put on Seroquel and remeron for sleep and depression. I wouldn't sleep for days on end and have to eventually crash out. I ended up in a psychiatrist setting and they put me on medicine about 2 weeks ago. The strong side effects are worse than not sleeping. Constantly brain fog and feeling weird.
So how did you get diagnosed with Schizophrenia ???? Was it from no sleep or was it from getting off the medicine??? I am asking because I was put on 50mg and 2 weeks later my doctor put me at 25mg.

Hi @natthebrat97, I can understand the reluctance to take medicine if the side effects seem worse than the problem the medicine is meant to help. It can be a vicious cycle with not sleeping and depression. I think fellow members like @stlr21 @jakedduck1 @sears @eczarniecki @jimhd @hopalongnm3 and @atscaping may have some thoughts for you.
Natt, have you talked to your doctor about the side effects and how they make you uncomfortable? There may be other options for you.
