So ive got a few 100MG seroquels
And i havent been diagnosed but i do believe i have mild case's of schizophrenia and anxiety.
Ive never taken seroquel before so what im thinking is if i take these two pills tonight and i feel healthier mentally.
Then that should mean i diagnosed myself?

you should never take medication like that without consulting a physician.

That might be the worst logic I've ever heard.
Seroquel will put you to sleep, most likely. It puts pretty much everyone to sleep. You won't feel healthier mentally, you'll feel sedated. That doesn't mean that you're schizophrenic.

Anti-psychotic drugs cause variations in blood flow and cause the fore-part of the brain to shrink (i think the two are connected). I believe these drugs work by slowing the flow of blood, which in turn slows down the thought process, but the real thing is to Stop thought. This is why it makes you tired to take the medicine, because when you sleep, there are no thoughts. The trick is to stay awake, yet don't think. Rather than using medication, by cultivating an internal spiritual practice (like Yoga, which is what i do) you can calm your mind, which is the same thing Seroquel does. Schizophrenia is really just an overabundance of thinking (a Saint, Poonjaji said this. He actually said something more like the schizophrenic person "never stops thinking"), or thinking things that are very "far out" from what is considered normal, or what other people are thinking, or want you to think! The thing about anti-psychotic meds is that they numb the mind, but it is better to destroy it. destroy it as in stop its movement. Taking antipsychotics is like preventing a car crash by slashing your tires. You won't crash, but you cant go to the store for cigarettes either. It is more fun, but also more difficult, to control your thoughts by living a diciplined, peaceful, contented life. And yet, do not be un-harmonious with the world, which is the cause of some people who go to mental hospitals. This is the practice. As the saying goes, "keep your feet on the ground and your head in the clouds"
The definition of Yoga (my practice) is the stoppage of thought. i.e. mushrooms are a Yoga because mushrooms cause you to stop thinking. So, stop thinking whichever way you can (although if you think you are schizophrenic, mushrooms aren't the gentlest method), this is the real purpose of life, because thoughts keep us separate, unhappy, and do not allow us to see the true nature of this reality. Taking Seroquel doesn't seem the wisest choice to me, at least until you try other methods first. I suggest the book Be Here Now by Ram Dass. "The rational mind is a perfect servant and a lousy master." -Ram Dass
A walk in the woods usually helps me be calm whenever i'm feeling overwhelmed by my mind, and it also usually helps my anxiety and all my many other problems too.
Good luck, have fun, and be good.

sounds like a bad idea to me.
25 mg of seroquel is enough to knock me the fuck out for 12-15 hours. 200 mg just sounds like a really really bad idea. and im no professional, but im assuming that even with someone who needs the pills, it takes some time for the sedation effects to subside... and then it starts doin its therapeutic thing. i dont think a one time (over)dose will do anything for your mental state... it will just put you to sleep, for a long time...
talk to a doctor, get diagnosed, take the meds as directed...
