Open original source ↗
8 years ago I was described a low dose of seroquel for a short time to help with sleep. ... A total dissolving of my inner being and humanity that never came back. ... Just entirely blank, empty, all the time. Music and major tragedies cause no emotion. My brain isn’t capable of feeling pleasure or emotion. My creativity, memory, decision making is muted. ... recovered from this total lobotomy where you are basically dead in your own mind and body for years after stopping the drug?
Cause
Reddit r/Antipsychiatry first-person OP: low-dose Seroquel/quetiapine for a short time for sleep ~8 years before posting; attributes total dissolving of inner being / entirely blank empty state + inability to feel pleasure or emotion (music/tragedies cause no emotion) to that exposure; persists long after stop. Unused post; unused Seroquel Reddit timeline (distinct from today’s Sanego Seroquel 197/198 and medicitalia Seroquel 181). Live Reddit blocked/timeout; quote from search-index OP excerpt.
Duration
~8 years of blank/empty + no pleasure/emotion after short low-dose Seroquel course; still symptomatic at posting (off-drug framing)
Recovery notes
No recovery claimed. Asking if anyone recovered from years-long post-stop blank/empty state; considering betahistine & ketamine methods discussed elsewhere. One reply said small-dose Seroquel for sleep for years and another person 6 years off Seroquel just seeing glimmers (not this OP). No later OP update in available excerpts.
