• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

So, the first time I was hospitalised, they put me on 800mg of seroquel and I have no idea what the justification for this was. Ridiculous dosage in my opinion. Does anyone else have a bad experience of this drug? Oh, I stopped taking it immediately after leaving the hospital and had no symptoms for a year, so obviously it's not the case that I would be psychotic unless I take this for the rest of my life. Thanks, psychiatry.

In a different hospital, they put me on 400mg when I was admitted. So it's random what they choose for a dosage as well. How people think psychiatry is anything but a pseudoscience, I don't know. My experience is that it's totally subjective, unreliable and damaging.

@SadGirl If 25mg is prescribed for insomnia, I can't believe they would put me on 32 times more of it for "chaotic presentation"... of course I was disorientated and upset being taken away from all familiarity into a horrible clinical environment. I don't know how they expect people to function with these medications. It's also shocking that they prescribe this for insomnia.

In fact, quetiapine is an antipsychotic, but in very low doses, it is used to treat insomnia. The antipsychotic effect is only relevant with doses higher than 200mg if I am not mistaken. It worked very well on me, and I had no side effects.

I have taken that medication a few times in a low dose. I would be very careful with that one. Do you feel like you got hit with side effects a year after you took it?
I think it is a hit or miss medication.

Sometimes if you start and stop a medication it can have adverse affects too.
