Hi all,
I take 200mg of quetiapine daily since 15 Aug.
I got it prescribed off-label because I worried about my body too much while I was in a clinic. It didn’t take my worries away because it was all. It was caused by the stress due to the environment.
So once I decided to go home all those worries disappeared.
However, I have enormous issues with my cognition and my brain does feel very strange. I tapered to 50mg in 3 weeks but zero improvements.
Scared to death that my life is over. I was highly intelligent, highly educated (quantitative finance/econometrics master, CFA ETC). But I’m not able to do anything anymore and structuring my thoughts and speaking is hard. I feel very confused, sleep poorly, dont understand newspapers and feel extremely unmotivated. It’s like my brain has been emptied by the quetiapine.
I never felt like this in my life - it does not feel natural at all - and it must be the quetiapine. Even in the clinic I wasn’t feeling like this. I could still think clearly but was just too stressed out.
Any people here with quetiapine experience? Did it also made you feel like a different person? Issues with cognition? Did it recover after quitting?
Thanks!
