I'm a 26 year old on Seroquel (200 mg at night, 100mg on a morning). I used to be on Risperdal and realised my problems getting worse when I went onto the Seroquel.
I think one of my main problems is I have self esteem issues deep down in me. I can be very confident and very happy at times but at other times very down. In certain social settings I sometimes find it very hard to converse or engage in normal conversation, other social groups such as close friends and family and people I know well I can talk to very easily.
I'm very into my music and gigging. I go to a lot of gigs, clubs, festivals etc. So as I'm involved in this lifestyle I also used to heavily drink. One of the discussions I had with a health worker was to limit the alcohol I was mixing with Seroquel. At this point my main problems were anxiety. Also I have schizophrenia (was what I was diagnosed with after a nervous breakdown at 16).
The anxiety seems to have gone now. There was a seriously screwed up point in my life a couple of weeks back (lasting about 3 weeks where I was self diagnosing myself with Seroquel and just taking the med as and when I felt like I needed it basis).
What I want in life now is just to be a lot happier I have a lot of interests including (music, travel, art, film, eating out, pool etc). I still want to go out at the weekends and have a drink and socialise regularly, but also I need to calm myself down and stabilise my mood and cope better with stress and sort some problems I'm having out at work related to all this.
I want to get into a serious relationship with a girlfriend as soon as possible as I've not had a girlfriend for quite some time.
Also some of the other problems I have in life link around (being very badly organised, bad at planning time, untidy, panicky, rushing about, sometimes being stressed, concentration span, difficulty relaxing, also issues with my back and neck and legs).
