The main goal of this paper is to provide some insight into how promising the Schrodinger-Newton equation would be to explain the emergence of classicality. Based on the similarity of the Newton and Coulomb potentials, we add an electric self-interacting term to the Schrodinger-Newton equation for the hydrogen atom. Our results rule out the possibility that single electrons self-interact through their electromagnetic field. Next, we use the hydrogen atom to get insight into the intrinsic difficulty of testing the Schrodinger-Newton equation itself and conclude that the Planck scale must be approached before sound constraints are established. Although our results cannot be used to rule out the Schrodinger-Newton equation at all, they might be seen as disfavoring it if we base our reasoning on the resemblance between the gravitational and electromagnetic interactions at low energies.
