I've been on mirtazapine 30mg (increased to 45 by the fourth week) and seroquel xr 200mg for exactly 8 weeks(both taken at 6 pm.)
I'm in a brain fog all the day all the time. It's smth like a delirium. During the day it goes up and down but never completely go away or even become mild. All the day I feel like I lost my mind and sanity. I've had my ups and down with the depression but i didn't feel like i don't have a mind. My working memory almost gone. And i can't understand logic or arguing and i started to not trust any thought. I feel like a person with an upcoming negative symptoms of Schizophrenia
I can't reach the psychiatric hospital because they shut it due to the pandemic. I feel like stoping the seroquel or both meds. I can't even explain things clearly to my doctor.
I can't learn any thing with this fog. And of course i can't do therapy with it. I can't read i can't reason well.
I believe the pragmatic rational thing is to give it another two weeks, but I can't handle it it's impossible and whenever i realize it i get too much of dysphoria. It's choking me like hell. But I'm afraid that it won't go completely away even after i stop the meds since i do have adhd. I just don't know.

I also take remron (Mirtazapine) - but just 30mg once a day - I take it at night.
I’m sorry you’re feeling like you’ve lost your ability to think clearly. That’s kind of important!
Can you reach your general doctor? Maybe you could get a phone call or telehealth visit to get a doctor. They can recommend how to change or reduce the amount your taking to get you through this lock down.
That is an emergency service. It’s essential. Somewhere should be able to give you services online, I’d hope.
I wouldn’t recommend just stopping both meds without consulting a doctor.
Do you have someone who could be an advocate for you and help you articulate what you need?

Sorry regards your fog.
My problem is a congenital Short Term Memory disorder. I forget everything I have done on the day and next day I cannot relate when someone asks me what I had been doing the day before. I had five weeks of tests to make sure it was not Dementia and I did miss the bullet so that was a positive result. I take many different medications including ADs and Opiates for my Health concerns and I suppose that does not help, although you need to remember if you are not sure have words with your GP when you can, To know the cause will help you address your fears
Don't stop your needs without assistance from your doctor. Quitting Seroquel cold turkey can send you into withdrawal and feel worse than the brain fog. Your doctor should recognize whatever symptoms you share and help adjust your meds.
Try taking them both at night time before you go to bed? The worse effects should happen as you sleep and you should be clearer first thing in the morning, failing that try one or the other ar night. Or finally get a meds review?
