Fewer Meds! (Trip to See Friend)

I am now off Trazodone.  I am down to 50mg* for the Seroquel; I will stick with that for a week or two then try going without.  I DID sleep last night with this combinaton: No trazodone, 5 mg Haldol, and 50 mg Seroquel.  I'm amazed!  One must be tired enough to do this, I'm thinking.  Is my brain ironing itself out?  It seems to be.  (*Seroquel works as a sleep med at low doses.  For comparison, when I first started Seroquel, it was at 450/500 mg!)

I got my desktop computer to work, so I can type more easily and quickly.  I am also planning a trip to see a long-time friend (22 years).  That should be fun.  My only issue with navigating the airport.  But we are working on having someone that works at the airport go with me so I don't get lost.  (Drain Bammage.)

Withdrawal from trazodone

Imm shaking. My whole body. It wonnt stop. Its been doing this off and on since i changed my meds. But now i cant settle at all to sleep. I stopped trazodone cold turkey. Im wondering if thats it. So i took a dose to see. Waiting for it to kick in. Pdoc thought my hand shaking was due to haldol so she cut that in half. I suppose i need to call tomorrow. Hoping i can sleep tonight. I didnt know trazodone had withdrawal symptoms. Im still on seroquel 100. Stopping that cold turkey kept me wide awake! And yes pdoc told me to do that too! Ifeel better now.  The trazodone has kicked in.  I'd been off it for a week.  Aaahhh! Sleep!
