My good news: Yesterday was my one-year anniversary at my job as museum guard part-time.
Long story short, Seroquel, 700mg/day, has been the backbone of what got the ball rolling as far as me going out and getting (and keeping) a job. I would have to say I'd been gradually convinced over the years I've been with MyTherapy, to give the therapeutic dose of Seroquel a try.
I once read a thread awhile ago where Dr. Long stated that around 600mg/day Seroquel was the typical therapeutic dose. It kind of stuck in the back of my head for awhile and then I latched on to the idea and fell head over heels for Seroquel.
It was a good thing.
Plus there was a former member, Ferengi, who was on a high dose of an anti-psychotic and had a career as a graphic designer, so I was inspired by her success on an anti-psychotic.
I have to say that Lost girl's goal thread kept me going, and Soul's ability to cope with work also inspired me.

Jody You'll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky As we walk in fields of gold So she took her love for to gaze awhile Upon the fields of barley In his arms she fell as her hair came down Among the fields of gold
