Seroquel and Lithium

[clayder]

Hello

This is Clayder. I'm from Peru. Recently my doctor prescribed me Seroquel, in a low dosis(25 mg). I am taking that medicine for 8 days, and I have started to forget things. For example: today, i have gone to my english classes. When teacher begun to explain the lesson. I didn't understand anything she was saying, i mean, i only was able to hear the words she said, but not to relate them in order to have sense. So, i got scared, meaning, i'm not the best student, but either the worst. When she asked me something, I simply couldn't answer. I had the ideas in my mind, but I couldn't make them to have sense. I'm writing because these is the worst situacion that I have ever lived. Before of this, I have already forgotten some little things, but i didn't take so much importance. Well the doctor told me not to continue taking that medicine. However, i'm desespered. I just want to know if I'm going to be the student i was, with any problem at learning.

Please answer me, i'm very scared!!!

Maybe you should ask your doctor to put you on an alternative medication that won't have the same bad side effects as the one you're on now. Some medications affect people in different ways. It's just a matter of finding one that does what you want with minimal side effects.

But, I have low confidence. I'm afraid of study again, I mean, how i can be sure that I'm going to be able to understand and concentrate on what I would like to study again. I'm with the obsesive idea that I have lost some neurons. The doctor told me that after 5 days everything is going to go well again, but how i can be sure of that, given that my mid terms exams at university are coming.

Give me a response as soon as posible, please.

Good day clyder,
I dont see how a med can boost your confidence. Especially when no one of them work. And idea of therapy is too weird to me, all of therapeutist say that they want you to improve your identity, or to bring it back. This is silly.
i m given a different med for bipolar , and it totally made me shut down. I cant think either remeber thinks. Memory is like fragmented, so i lower the dosage and finally quit it. I told that to my doc and he was mad. He is considered the n0 1 expert in this area , where live about 3 million people. I m again on it, it still makes me fuzzy and it is god damn addictable, i dont know how to get off this shit. I more SP to almost every situation now. These days i m trying to quit it completely, so i recommend you to do that if you are feeling that way. You have just started so i presume that it wont be tough. Good luck. If i manage to get off these, i will drop all the pills in the sewer . Fish and river fauna will be so lost , a easy catch then Lol
