I Am So Glad I Found This Site, I Am In Need Of Support

Three years ago I was in an accident, car, an was left dissabled while the guy who threw me to the cliff is still driving around.

I have flashbacks, hate cars, and am now stuck in my house unless someone takes me out, which is hard for them as I am now the worst back seat driver!!!

I find that I am now an angry person and never used to be. I find that sometimes it takes the smallest thing and I fly off the handle and my anger turns to rage in a matter of a second. I throw things, break things, and then hate myself afterwards.

Luckily I have a great husband now who understands. He is going through his own hell with me but refuses to give up. I keep throwing my wedding rings back at him and saying "Go away set yourself free from me". Sometimes it takes me a week to get back to normal. Oh how I hate this, but I don't seem to have any control over it. The doctor just put me on seroquil to help with negative thoughts and flashbacks. I think it might help although I sleep 12 hours a night now and feel kind of numbed out.

He started me out on 25 mg, but had to cut it to 1/2 the pill or I think I might sleep 24/7. Does anyone else have these side effects from this med? And does it go away?

Thanks for listening.

Hello hope4,

From my own experience with Seroquel, the morning after grogginess does tend to lessen a bit. I found it to be a good medication for helping me get serious anxiety under control. And it hasn't been a difficult medication to get off of either. I used 50mg. Seroquel XR at night for about 4 months. Been off it about 2 months.

Good luck with everything.

Thank you James B,
The grogginess is becoming less a which is good. I have now been on it for one and a half weeks. The first week I felt like it was a miracle pill. Like the whole world had turned around........Then.....boom , I'm really down again. Start thinking about jumping off balconies (never would, I hope). I think it is just so much hurt and pain deep inside that I lock up because nobody understands they just want the old me back. The one from before the accident. It gets so so lonely being left behind all the time because I can't physically do everything. I hate it and can't cope with feeling so left. I seem to be ok if people are around and I can get out a bit but being stuck at home just kills me, especially when everyone is talking about events coming up and they are leaving me behind because Im dissabled. I wish someone understood how I felt. They just want me to be normal and not get upset and be happy and I just want to not feel INVISIBLE. Sorry for venting.
