Notes on Quetiapine

1:34 am : Just took my first dose of Quetiapine and decided to keep some notes on whatever effect it has on me. You know, for science. Or obsessive self-analysis. Take your pick.

1:45 am : Well, no radical effects yet, but these things tend to take a while to kick in. I do feel slightly spaced out and groggy, but that could just be the background noise of my unstable consciousness. After all, paying such close attention to my mental state is bound to rev up the neurosis. That alone could account for feeling a bit weird.

2:00 am : OK, definitely feeling an effect now. I feel a growing sleepiness, as well as a sort of numb feeling in my head which is making me a little dizzy. Typing is becoming difficult, as I am both finding it harder to concentrate enough to form words and sentences, and becoming a little more clumsy. Also, my head has started to loll around very slightly. Annoying. So far, the effect is just like Zopiclone, but faster and stronger. Keen.

2:07 am : Yup. This stuff has me by the short hairs. This will likely be my last note as I am finding it pretty hard to take down notes right now. Next step is to go urinate (that should be fun, hope I can still manage it) then turn out the lights and crawl into bed and see where this all takes me.

2:12 am : OK, one more note. Urinated without too much complication. Feeling a sort of floating sensation, ss well as some tinglings in my fingers, and a very dry mouth (known side effect). Now I am going to go lay down. Wish I could take notes via voice. Oh well. Nighty night all!
