Gibberings CLV: Empathy is a Two Way Street

Conspiracy radio, where do I find that? Sounds like it might work for me.

I had some quetiapine last night. Weird stuff, I could barely move or speak. Went to bed but got the worst restless arm syndrome ever, was sleepy as one of snow-white's dwarves but couldn't lie still. Don't think I'll be trying it again.

Was dreamy/visual, like an opiate nod. But not worth it for the horrible restlessness.
 
The only appointment I had for today got cancelled, meaning I've got absolutely nothing to do today. Oh my
 
I've been offered a script for quetiapine /seroquel as an alternative to SSRIs for anxiety.

Does anyone here have much experience with it?

I'm not sure if I should say yes or go medication free. I'm worried how our might affect my performance at work, however I was more than happy getting stoned every night and going to work until recently. They would prefer I took something legal than cannabis though.
 
Seroquel for anxiety? Fucking hell.

If I were you I'd say no and try to persevere medication-free. I know it's not always easy (sometimes it's well-nigh-on impossible) but you really don't want to be taking neuroleptics unless you absolutely have to.
 
Hello! MDB I got your PM but getting errors when I try to open it. Will reply when I can, not ignoring you <3

Hello! Everyone else. I am chuffed with myself for now being half way through my four essays and so have come to uni to do some....shopping, and WoW playing, until my net gets installed. Cunts wanted to send an engineer round and make me wait til the 5th for the privilege. So I set it up myself last night and then rang them and told them. They said there's a line installed and it'll be sorted ASAP.

Cannot wait til January is over. We all good? I ain't checked yet just logged on
 
Yeah, I just got database errors when trying to see my messages snollz. s'not just you

not to over emphasise the negatives but that stuff can lead to significant weight gain, a girl in my CBT group was a bit large, and my counsellor mentioned the figure of 3 stone. Still its up to you to weigh upthe pros and cons, if you are slim to start with 3 stone isnt too bad to put on. Also you could increase your execricise to complensate which would also reduce anxiety. Mirtazapine is meant to be good for anxiety also, that has extreme appetite increasing affects also, but only for the first few weeks. I'd try that first, and stick to packs of grapes when you get the munchies, far better than wolfing down 27 chocolate bars or saomething.

No worries about the pm snolly.

Quietepine is an atypical antipsychotic approved for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and along with an antidepressant to treat major depressive disorder. Says wiki. It does seem a bit extreme, but if it would do the job without any impairments there may be no harm trying, but id try mirtazapine first as i said above.
 
If anything, seroquel gave me anxiety I didn't have before, I was bouncing about like a cricket in a box, it made my arms so restless. Extremely drowsy but horribly restless, thus unpleasantly strung out with the situation.

Erm... this is just being suggested for anxiety. Which is totally over-the-top.

As to whether it would do the job without impairments, I very much doubt it, unless the dose were kept extremely low. I know it wasn't even on the map when I was discussing a medication plan which would allow me to function on a day-to-day basis; it's only ever used in cases of bipolar disorder which regularly lapse into psychosis. Basically, it should not be prescribed for anxiety. It shouldn't even be prescribed for bipolar disorder.

As for mirtazipine, it doesn't appear that s0laris' doctor has considered that as an option.

what would worry you most then ?

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Plus day-to-day impairment.
 
Fair enough. As i have allready posted the sum of my knowledge about Quietepine i have nothing further to add.

In other news getting wasted on stims and etiz last night i found a fucking ecig cartomiser with a wick in it and the battery was charged. Inevitably i smoked it, and went on to order a whole bunch of paraphenelia off ebay. Curses. Fuck it, ive lasted 21 days and the main idea was to quit to help me quit bupe, which it did. I really miss puffing away on that thing when watching TV etc, and it was nice to get back on it last night. I think Im gonna ween the nicotine levels way down low though, ie dilute the mixtures with PG, not only saves a lot of money, but is probably healthier too.
 
ok thanks Albion, the actual physical quit was very easy, i only had minor uncomfortable cold buzzes on the back of my shoulders for 2 days, that was it as far as physical symptoms went. For the rest of the time i was relieved and overjoyed at getting that monkey off my back. I had an ethyl/booze/etiz binge to celebrate 1 week off, whci lead to 3 days of increasing ethyl and etiz, but today im sticking to coffee ! Hopefully tomorrow no coffee i dont even like the stuff (how it makes me feel. Mr Stresshead.)

Yeah Sam ecigs are the most minor of vices (look at how im making excuses and trying to rationalise it allready)

Hey, don't be too hard on yourself!

I'm EADD's Mister Straight and I still smoke real ciggies, smoke weed, enjoy a few beers and do a bit of oxy. E-cigs aren't something to let yourself fret over. :)
 
Are e-cigs liable to cause the same health complications as tobacco?
