seroquel and irritability

[mickeymoo]

has anyone been irritable on seroquel. I am really bad. Is there anything I can do?

god read my last post! i am just coming off them and my standards were so unbelievably high and anything would annoy me......

if you find out how to fix this irritability please let me know, i can't deal with it either

is it not a side effect that will wear off then. im worse than ive ever been.

It could be two things Mickey, the Seroquel or you still being slightly hypomanic and that this dosage isn't enough for you.

I have an appt with my pdoc at the end of this month. Would it be worth phoning her and seeing if my dose can be changed. I am just worse than Ive ever been and no-one will be talking to me soon the rate im going!

It sounds like either your dosage needs to be increased. Or your doc may change it altogether, or she may even add an additional med in combination.

YES - It is worth phoning her or the MHT as you are by the sounds of things in desperate need. They will move your appointment forward, you can't wait around until the end of the month !

I'm on seroquel and really irritable, but I think it's my bipolar making me irritable not the seroquel, because if I don't take it for a few days I'm like a bear with a sore head - complete irrational psycho!!!!!
