Quetiapine effects

In February, a psychiatrist who I had only spoken to on the phone (hadn’t seen me face to face)

put me on Quetiapine. 25mg.

I wish psychiatrists didn’t ‘tar everyone with the same brush - I have EUPD- not bipolar or schizoprenia.

But they never listen, do they? There way must be right.

So in mid Feb this year I collected the prescription. The first night Itook it I slept - first time in 10 and a half years - a deep sleep.

The second night though, I never slept (no 2 nights with me are ever the same). I took the 2nd quetiapine.

It resulted in urine gushing down my leg into my slippers - which is now costing me a fortune in incontinence wear, and has not stopped since then.
