Giving up and giving in

Today I had an emergency appointment with my psychiatrist because my anxiety and mood swings are too much for me to bear at this point. Top if off with my child's father leaving us (she just turned 3 months today) because I "require too much emotional attention" and I'm a complete fucking disaster. He kicked us out and now I'm a mess.

Anyways. The doc prescribed seroquel and klonopin. What should I expect? I hate the anticipation of side effects.

Please be careful.

Those are strong medications and could easily & heavily sedate you.

I’m glad you’re under a psychiatrist’s care, but don’t be afraid to ask questions & question things.

I’m sorry for the pain & suffering you’ve experienced.

And I wish you the best ✨

I'm so sorry for what you're going through. Klonopin helps me get through my anxiety episodes, but I only take it on an "as needed" basis & get by on 1/2 of the prescribed dosage. Since it sounds like you're in crisis mode, it's probably a good idea to take both meds as prescribed & taper down when things get better. I have no experience with seroquel. I hope things improve for you quickly.
