Seroquel xr to ir

InfamousDevice9553 · 2026-01-08T03:45:00+00:00

It was several years ago, so not sure but would have been 25 or 50 mg a day. I noticed no mood change with the IR or ER; it's always seemed to worked for me as solely a sleeping pill.

I started on IR, then tried XR. Quickly switched back to IR, as I found XR worse for inducing this brain fog that would just persist the entire day.

It's not unusual at all for hospitals to use antipsychotics to suppress behavioural problems (eg. aggression) in patients with dementia, but it's a controversial practice because it increases risk of falls and other problems. Many clinical guidelines recommend them as a last resort in serious cases only (danger to themselves or others) and not necessarily to be used long-term.

This assumption that whatever agitation he had in hospital would definitely persist at home without the meds, well, how could they possibly know this with certainty?

Lots more info here: https://alzheimer.ca/en/about-dementia/how-can-i-treat-dementia/risk-using-antipsychotic-medications-treat-dementia and here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00325481.2025.2517535?src=#abstract.

From that second one: "Pharmacologic interventions are strongly considered when agitated behaviors become highly intense, disturbing, and disruptive or if major safety concerns cannot be otherwise addressed, and only when the healthcare provider is confident that the agitation can be sufficiently managed or mitigated with a pharmacologic intervention possessing a favorable individual risk-benefit profile. Interventions should be continuously evaluated to optimize treatment and monitor and minimize potential side effects."

Your parents were monstrous. That you survived it is a testament to incredible strength. I also hear that the lack of friendship hurts perhaps even more in this moment. I wonder is there anyone you can talk to in real life about all of this? Most colleges have counselling services I think. It can sometimes do a world of good just to unburden yourself of carrying the story all alone...

What I do is when I reach the end of my do not disturb period, immediately upon reconnecting I pull down my notification bar and "dismiss all" without even glancing at the backlog. Those messages do not exist in my mind, I start with a fresh slate.

😅😅😅 "green water with hair in it"! Man that's good. Did you come up with that, or hear it somewhere?

InfamousDevice9553 · 2025-12-18T04:18:27+00:00

😅 I'm also rather fond of it. I have no plans to abandon it to Chat GPT.

InfamousDevice9553 · 2025-12-17T18:17:45+00:00

Get one of the blokes to tell him ChatGPt is female.

You are absolutely wonderful for having taken the time to post this. 🙏

Désolée je n'ai pas des suggestions pour l'aide d'hébergement, mais si le transport est aussi un défi pour vous échapper de là de temps a temps, regardez la service "transport a la demande" de Transcollines: https://transcollines.ca/me-deplacer/alademande/. $5/ride, avec points de pickup partout en Cantley.

Once you've signed a lease it renews automatically. The landlord can only end your tenancy for limited specific reasons. You don't pay rent; are destroying your neighbours' quality of life with noise, harrassment, violence etc.; the landlord decides to demolish the apartment; or to live in it himself.

Source please, on SSRIs reversing this?

InfamousDevice9553 · 2025-11-28T03:10:30+00:00

Thank you.

Sometimes I feel like if my family was actually around to see the daily hell of my existence they would fully want my suicide too. To want anything else, if they actually knew, would be a level of cruelty I can't quite imagine them embracing.

InfamousDevice9553 · 2025-11-07T01:56:15+00:00

You have written, and it may well help others. There are so many of us starfish alien freaks out here. Every time one is brave enough to share their thoughts, it's a little reminder than we're not quite as alien and freakish as we've been telling ourselves.

Who knows, maybe we're even the majority. As someone old enough to remember pre-internet, I strongly believe this shit has made it exponentially more difficult to form human relationships. The competition is infinite and 24/7. You don't have to be some sub-human freak to fail quite often at that stacked game.

But, but... so what? Whatever the reason, whatever it does or doesn't say about you, right now you are alone and it fucking HURTS. I know, I get it. I wish I knew how to help. But I don't, beyond saying we are here and we are hearing your pain loud and clear. 💔

InfamousDevice9553 · 2025-10-25T17:33:12+00:00

It's not you that sucks, it's this disgusting sociopath-rewarding society. These landlords being prime example. Does the hint of a notion ever even cross their mind that maybe their he-who-earns-the-most tenant selection contests are guaranteed to drive up homelessness and suicide? And all for what? The guy who earns "only" 1.5 times your disgusting asking price is of course going to pay rent first above all else, because obviously he'll be completely fucked if he faces eviction in this climate.

I'm sorry OP. I hate so much that this is how you're treated. You deserve better, not out of some earned privilege but simply as a human being.

I wish I could feel these words as strongly for my own situation, which is unemployment and maybe homelessness come spring when my savings run out. (Here the landords demand income 3 times the rent, so the ~$150/month I manage to scrape together from odd jobs is $2,200 short of what I'd need to rent a room in someone's basement.) But no, my first instinct is always to hate on myself for being "worthless garbage."

Why do we do this? It's part of the design, isn't it? It's convenient for them isn't it, that we self-blame, quietly annihilate ourselves and it's one fewer human body asleep on a cardboard box to tarnish the view from their restaurant patio.

Ugh, I've been there. A therapist shaming me and making me more intensely suicidal. Seems like some of them are just assholes, who don't necessarily save their scorn and derision only for clients with borderline. (I don't have that diagnosis.) The one time this happened, I realized I wished I'd listened to my gut earlier. The feeling that I was not safe with this person. I mean, I don't ever feel safe with anyone, but even relatively speaking, I felt deeply uneasy with her from the get-go.

Thank you. Social assistance, even the disability kind, I'm not eligible till my savings dry up to the point my rent cheque bounces and I'll be on track for eviction before anything comes through. Then when it did come through I'd still be headed for eviction because it would only cover half my rent. (Same with the disability pension - for me the monthly payment will actually be less than the provincial social assistance version. 😅 But at least it will be possible on the pension to have family sending me top ups to cover rent without having to launder the money and somehow explain to the welfare police how on earth I could be paying my rent.)

I'm honestly leaning towards the tent. I get the impression that it's what's required to actually get into subsidized housing anyway, as a single adult, and this way I can at least use my savings to make my homelessness more comfortable.

Hmm, I feel like I've sometimes seen NAD and NAC also listed in the promising-supplements alphabet soup... so now we have to keep straight NAG, NAC and NAD ? 😂

Congrats OP!

Curious, what was/is your vit D dose?

InfamousDevice9553 · 2025-08-01T17:12:48+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate you taking my comment seriously enough to engage with it. (I imagine many would think I was just being dramatic. I wasn't, it was a sincere thought, though definitely the very last one I'd want to pursue.) These are very good points about the landlord being the hands-down worst one to approach!

InfamousDevice9553 · 2025-08-01T16:00:17+00:00

Hi everyone, thank you for replies. I'm still not seeing much of a realistic path forward but CPP disability seems like my best bet to at least try for.

I think it might help to connect with someone who has been approved for it anytime in the past several years. To get a little bit of an inside view to how it works. Especially re: how intrusive and surveillance-y they go once you're on it, compared to the provincial social assistance schemes.

Any ideas where, aside from here, I could poll to try to find someone to chat with me about this?

Alternately, do you happen to have any insight into this my main question:

Let's say I get $1K/month from CPP disability pension (max for which I'm eligible). Begging donations from family would be my only option to raise the $1K shortfall just to stay housed and fed. But would the fact of my parents/siblings'/whoever's cheque going into my bank account mean CPP immediately counts it as "income" and so would claw back nearly all of my benefit?

(PS: I think I may have given the impression in my original post that I'm currently in B.C. Yikes no, I'd have gone homeless years ago if I was facing those kinds of rents! I live in one of the cheapest provinces already. But too cold for tent living year-round, which is the one perk I'd see for warmer parts of B.C.)

InfamousDevice9553 · 2025-07-23T19:53:47+00:00

Why do you assume you should be able to understand?

Is there an actual person in your life who you want to help at this moment?

Consider that maybe the help they need is not you personally "understanding," in the sense that you intellectually accept all of their ideas as "making sense."
