seroquel

1278098 tn?1297646373 Thats too much sleep and I was missing pasrt of my day because as soon as I would roll out of bed I would have to be to work for 11pm. So instead I started taking a half before bed, then the other half when I got up. I found the other half started to make me drowzy before working nights so I stopped taking it. I cut my self from two to one.
Avatar m tn I take 200 mg of seroquel to help me sleep if i cut it in half will it still help me fall asleep!! I only have 12 days left of seroquel and i can't see the doctor until the 8th of next month so i'm freaking out about not being able to sleep!! Please help!!
Avatar f tn My psych recommended I switch to Seroquel XR because she thought it would lessen the panic attacks, and in the same breath said that Seroquel doesn't cause panic attacks. Well, I've been on XR for about half a year and I have a low level of panic almost constantly. At times it explodes into a full-on panic attack as it's doing now. My psych won't listen to me and says it's impossible for Seroquel to cause such a reaction.
Avatar m tn I saw her yesterday which was on 10/15/2015. I was taking 25mg or seroquel which I cut in half 12.5mg. And she told me to go to Walgreens pharmacy and for me to get there Valerian Root 450mg with Passion Flower. It made me sleep great and when I woke up in the morning I felt great. I will no longer be taking Seroquel, its like putting poison in your system!!!
Avatar f tn I take iron and eat as well as I can but really have no appetite. Down 20 pounds in 10 weeks. I was over weight so this isn't a big problem yet.
Avatar n tn I have multiple sclerosis, depression, and a sleep problem. My ms meds[baclofen/tizanidine] and 300mg of seroquel gave me a memory loss big-time!!!. The ER cut all my meds in half[dc'd the tizan]. I never want to go that high again. I couldn't remember my grandchildren!!! I did get withdrawals from it.[Was jumpy/agitated/anxious]for several days. I'm on 150mg now. My dreams at night are vivid, and it's like being in a reality show!
351317 tn?1204751871 The 10mg zyrtec is too strong for me so can I cut it in half and take 5mg instead?
8520825 tn?1398511460 25mg with trazodone 100mg. It helps. Even though the half-life is only 6 hours I feel a bit light-headed in the morning.
Avatar f tn try to help me understand why the doc prescribed me seroquel in high doses 3 times a day to get me through withdrawals i dont really understand maybe some one else will
Avatar n tn Also, is it dangerous to cut the pills in half to take a lesser dose? Or should you cut or break the pills at all?
736475 tn?1281259327 I was taking Seroquel for 4 years I was taking it for sleep. I have not been going through withdrawal for about 45 days I am taking two 6.25 and 1/2 mg of Ambien and it's not working I sleep for about 4 hours a night. I was giving this medication strictly for sleep I had no clue it was for other things until another doctor told me. I was taking only 50 mg and I cut it down to 25 myself because I was trying to get off of it I don't really like taking drugs.

999828 tn?1250122926 I take seroquel in 150mg and it don't do **** at all any more i have to swallow 2 pills to knock me out I.
Avatar f tn Yes, my pill can be split in half. I don't have a pill spliter, so I am wondering if I can use a knife to cut it. I already cut it actually and it split right in half. My pill has a "divit" like a divider already so it cut very easily.
Avatar f tn I was on Seroquel for 1 year before deciding on my own that I can live without it. I was tired of feeling groggy and lethargic. Without the Seroquel I experienced hypomania for a while and felt great but now am in a depression like nothing I've had before. I'm torn between seeking help (meds) again or trying to ride out the roller coaster. I know I'll feel better eventually... I just hate the thought of turning into a zombie again like I was with the Seroquel.
Avatar f tn it just takes time and withdraw slowly . you can feel psychotic also a bit. i suppose consult your pdoc.
Avatar n tn I was prescribed Seroquel to take before bed so that I could sleep. It works great but I try to only take the lowest dose I can because I am afaid of weight gain.
Avatar m tn My new psychiatrist switched me to Seroquel 100mg which I started taking on March 20, 2009. My question is can Seroquel help me on my Klonopin withdrawal? There were nights I can't sleep. I read an article that Antipsychotics should be avoided may aggravate benzodiazepine withdrawal. Please read: http://www.bcnc.org.uk/drugs.html. I am scared, please help.
5082295 tn?1371250911 I have been on seroquel for probably 8-10 years now for Bipolar disorder & have always been on the brand name, no generic,ever. But my patient assistance was back ordered so for a few months ive had to get it at the pharmacy as the generic name. I just now got my Seroquel (brand name med) and I am having the same side effects I did when I 1st started years ago. Can it really make this much of a difference? It’s the same dose, but I mean im falling asleep all thru out the day!
574118 tn?1305135284 Thank you IL. I am aware of the proper dose of one atypical only, except that i can't tolerate it this is why i am using smaller doses of each. If i take say 400 of seroquel possibly i won't get up from bed in the morning, one becomes very lithargic though not in a bad mood thanks.
1059594 tn?1261323966 Isn't Opana Time Released? I know you're the doctor, but I don't think you should inform people to cut their medications in half, ESPECIALLY if they're time released as this could cause a rapid release of all the medication in turn making her more sick, or am I wrong?

271872 tn?1238590391 Ok, I've been clean off Fentanyl for almost 9 days now. 2days off Darvocet (which I cut in half to help with the Fentanyl WD's. Anyway, the insomnia is brutal. I knew it would be, but I gave in and called my Doc for something to help me sleep. I asked for Clonidine, but got Seroquel! How dangerous is this drug to use for a few days? It 50mg tabs. Has ANYONE used this to get through opiate insomnia before??? How well does it work & how long did you need it?
Avatar n tn I wanted to know if I can cut the pills in half. Would taking 250mg. be as effective? All the symptoms of my uti are gone. I was supposed to take the pills for 7 days and I stopped after 4 because of side effects.
