I remember when my psychiatrist was explaining the side-effects of Seroquel(Quietipine). She mentioned priapism was one of them, and if that happened my penis would have to be drained with a syringe. I winced when she said that, so you can imagine how I felt reading your account of your experience at the hospital. It sounds like it is quite the painful and embarrassing experience, and I send you my sincerest sympathies.
I was only on it for three or four weeks, because I had become, in a way, zombiefied. My intellect was still intact, but emotions were muted, eventually to the point that I felt nothing. It was a horrible experience much worse than the depression it was supposed to be helping with.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
