Hello Lymies,

I haven't been able to visit this site in a few days and I have PM's waiting on my replies.

I am having a REAL problem with thinking, worse than usual.

My psych doc is helping me wean off of Seroquel and I am taking smaller doses while adding small doses of Lunesta.

My brain is complete mush. Just wanted to tell you this because there are so many posts I would like to respond to and I just cannot.

I am hoping this is just temporary but it feels like someone has drilled holes in my skull and my brains are leaking out.

Staring off into space now........
Janet [confused]

On LymeNet we TRY to be as truthful as we can.

You said.. ".. it feels like someone has drilled holes in my skull and my brains are leaking out."

Now let's be honest with each other, dear TN...

By saying that you are trying to pass off the fact you actually HAD brains to start with?

[Big Grin]

I just declared today as..

Let's all PICK ON TNJanet Day!!!

In YOUR honor!

Since your brains.. or whatever WAS up there between your ears.. is sort of doing it's own thing... or nothing.. whatever the case... you are an EASY target!!

But truely TN.. I know the feeling and it is sooooooooooooooooooooo frustrating!!!

You KNOW better and just can't seem to get the moon and stars lined up in the right order to be able to let others know you are actually a fairly smart person.

NOT FUN!!!

BUT.. don't PLEASE don't do what I do when this happens. I have a tendency to kick myself terribly when I can't instantly "fix" it.

Ride it out and know that we knew you when you had a brain.. and we'll love you even without it's magical powers functioning right now.

[Big Grin]

Oh Janet. My daughter took MONTHS to get off Seroquel. The last 25mg was the worst of it. She would be up all hours for days on end. And sick!!

At the same time, she was ramping up on Geodon.

Lunesta was awful for her, and her psyche found a lot of people can't tolerate it.

Rozerem is fabulous, but if insurance drops her soon, she's in trouble. Tried Trazadone and it was bad news.

We know the seroquel withdrawl very well....AWFUL!

Take care...and go slooooooooooooow
