Is there any way for me to advocate for getting on a different medication?
I’m on Seroquel for PPD + Psychosis. I also take Zoloft and I was on Clonadine and Prazosin but have slowly eased off those two as they were moreso emergency meds when I was in the hospital.
My regular Psychiatrist who I have lost just a few days ago due to an insurance issue, wanted to keep me on the 200mg of Seroquel for now since I am stable and not having symptoms. I am taking before bed every night.
My issue though is that I have two young kids and work full time and mornings are just…rough…
I feel like I get the worst luck with my psychiatrists- they’re all old men…they don’t seem to understand that I need to be halfway coherent to get the baby at night and also do my job well. I work as a Project Manager and so it’s cerebral and being on Seroquel just kills my energy.
I’m happy I’m not hallucinating or trying to off myself anymore but I feel like I got run over by a bus since late January when I had my mental health crisis/two week happy fun times fuzzy sock stay.
