Hope you're ok @Jane315STARX 💜 Have things moved on since your call?

Only in the respect that a couple of days ago I emailed the M.H. team so this could be forwarded on to the psychiatrist that I aposed being put on Quetiapine.I also called my GP reception so they noted it on their system.Last night I had a text message to come in for pre- blood pressure checks before starting this medication.Today I get a text from my local pharmacy to say Quetiapine is there for me to collect.I have been crying all morning.I feel like I'm losing my mind,nobody is competent.

I feel like going out and getting a bottle if alcohol ( I don't drink) and getting totally drunk.I can totally understand why people make the decisions they do.

I'm so sorry @Jane315STARX - so they've not done the bloods and just perscribed it? 😔

Please don't do that. It might help now, but you'll feel worse later.

Please don't go near the bottle, I can 100% guarantee you won't see the answer to your problems at the bottom of it.

No I'm not going to.I sometimes say immature things when I'm extremely angry

Glad to hear it, and I unfortunately speak from bitter experience. Did you see that Tony Slattery programme? That poor man.
