TW: *mentions OD at bottom*
So from seeing a lodeeee of people, I got diagnosed with a bunch of stuff and have been prescribed sleeping tablets. (Have to wait til end of week cos doctor isn't in)
Has anyone been on Quetiapine (think that's how it's spelt)? What where your experiences with it?
I'm not sure what to do, cos I've read that it makes you gain wait and can make you have insomnia..
I've been giving a weekly prescription, because they're worried cos I OD'd on Saturday, blah. Could have had a normal amount if I didn't do that haha!

I was on 25mg for a bit and my partner has just come off it too (he was on 100mg).
At a low level it can be really good to slow you down a bit, especially racing thoughts & nervous energy. However it can knock you out a bit too much & make you feel like a bit of a zombie.
I would recommend at least trying it, see how it goes for a week or two & make sure you have regular appointments with your GP.
The first couple of weeks can be a bit rough but the side effects tend to decrease a bit after a month or so.
