borderline personality disorde
"I have been on Quetiapine XL 50mg (with a 25mg as required for more difficult days) for about a year now following a history of poor sleep, self-harm, overdose, binge eating, depression and hospitalization.  The difference it has made to my life has been amazing, far more beneficial than all the anti-depressants I have been on over the years.  At first I also struggled with the sedatory effect but with persistence it reduces and can be managed.
The main reason I have decided to post is because yorkiegal mentioned being unable to empathize. I too have noticed that I do not seem to be as 'affected' by sad events/news as I feel I should be, sometimes feeling a bit disassociated."
