Sorry Ian, I've got my dopey head on today.

Are you saying you're pleased with the Quetiapine despite its side effects ?

[thrillseeker in reply to cat3]

Yep I can live with them I just hope the side effects will sub-side and I can go about s normal quiet no stressing I feel good

Side effects can last many weeks, but if you've already felt some improvement in your mood it's really worth hanging on 'til they subside and you can get the full benefit of the drug.

If the dizziness is a big problem there are various meds your GP could prescribe temporarily to help you through this initial period.

It's good to hear that you're starting to find some relief, which will hopefully increase, and allow you some decent quality of life at last.

Thanks for the update Ian ; you do sound so much more positive and long may that continue !

Please come back in a week or so to say how you're getting on.

Love Cat x
