seroquel

Avatar n tn Are you still on the zoloft and seroquel along with the xanax or just xanax?
Avatar m tn Told my Dr I was going to stop taking it and she insist I stay on it. She says Im being childish and that I need to take Seroquel at night to sleep, and to take the Zoloft in the mornings. I am sick of taking anymore pills!
1563533 tn?1345366296 I am not a doctor, but a doctor doesn't need to know that you aren't allowed to drink and take anti-depressants. You can cause some serious health injuries to your body. Are you willing to put yourself at such a high health-risk? I would think not. Please, keep safe.
Avatar f tn I suferred from gad and panic desorder. I'm on zoloft 175mg, clonopin 1mg 3 times a day, seroquel 100mg to go to sleep and 25 mg twice a day, however, I don't take the seroquel morning dose because it makes me too sleepy. I'm desperate trying to find out why I'm still having anxiety and the ton of meds are not working. I was on disability for two months and just went back to work. I've been constantly crying and being anxious. I don't know what to do.
Avatar m tn take your meds EXACTLY as prescribed, and avoid alcohol all together. When you meet with your doctor, you can discuss what kinds of options you have. Have you been in therapy at all? If so, has it helped? You just have to be real honest with yourself here to determine if you feel you can stick to the program or not.

1538831 tn?1294199202 Im currently taking 25 mg of zoloft, 1mg of ativan as needed, mostly for panic attacks, 1 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide a day for blood pressure, and now they want me to use 1 25 mg tab of seroquel at bedtime. Im only 23 and hate to think i need all of these meds, but when im not doing what the docs say i do feel worst. Im gonna try one pill tonite and decide if i need it i guess? Any Suggestions.
447130 tn?1225470866 He explained sleep is crucial to bipolar disorder and ordered my on the Seroquel until otherwise notified. He said if you can get your sleep back on track, sometimes you can avoid meds for sleep which seems to be happening now. If I forget to take it, I still sleep fine. I know not everyone reacts to Seroquel well, I guess I was just lucky! Thank you for your input!!
Avatar m tn re stating that you have sleeping issues, and I take it that you have been prescribed Seroquel specifically for this matter. If this is the case, then it is in my opinion not a bad choice, though some would argue there are better(safer) options due to the risk factors involved with the class of drugs to which Seroquel belongs.
1176924 tn?1263760300 There should be health care coverage options where you might be able to afford it. If you are not working you might qualify for Medicaid. If you do and don't have it right now you could qualify for emergency Medicaid and then have that transition to straight Medicaid. If you are working and your state has that option you might qualify for the Medicaid Buy in for Working People with Disabilities.
142722 tn?1281533616 To be honest, I would be more concerned about the Seroquel than the Zoloft. Does your OB plan on keeping you on BOTH meds? Seeing your psychiatrist is a great move, just be sure you run the plan by your OB before starting any new med. The Zoloft will take at LEAST 4-6 weeks to really start working...some people a little less, some people a little longer. Just be sure to keep in close communication with your OB.
Avatar n tn My question is, will Lamictal help with the hyper state that Zoloft put me in (racing thoughts) and how long does it take. I have finished my first week and feel the same, except my jumping leg has subsided (probably from discontinuing the Zoloft). It seems Lamictal is good for depression, but I am afraid it will have the same effect Zoloft did on me. P.S.
Avatar m tn I have been on xanex, and lexapro and a sleeping pill together, and I drank and it was awful, your tolerance is leveled to next to nothing because of your meds, I ended up sicker than I had ever been with a terrible headache and hating myself and my life even more. It wasn't worth it.
459981 tn?1212193981 My husband has bipolar disorder and seroquel and zoloft were awful for him (and me!!) If a medication is not working, and your psychiatrist is not listening, find a new doctor. My husbands first doctor was not listening to him and treated him like dirt so we got a new one and are very happy with him. Some antipsychotic and ssri medications are "safe" to take during pregnancy (meaning benefits outweigh the risks), but from what I have read seroquel may not be one of them.
447130 tn?1225470866 Hi, I take Lithium, zoloft,seroquel and Geodon during the day. It works for me in that combo but took a long time of adding and subtracting different meds. i know he can only see the G.P right now but they really are not up enough on these drugs and the combos/how they work like a psychiatrist is. It could be a very long road for the person if he doesn'y have a specialist. The doc should try to consult or work with a specialist and or barribjorn's right...
Avatar f tn I was just thinking, my husband started seroquel last week and has pretty much slept since then. As I already told you, he is bipolar. He no longer has anxiety and when he is awake, he is way more calmer than before. Soooo, I started to search the web and found out that they give a lot of people going through w/d this drug. More herion users than anyone else....but they have found that it helps with opiod users as well. Hmmmm, this may have me excited.
Avatar n tn Were you diagnosed with anything else in addition to OCD? I know sometimes anti-psychotics are prescribed to OCD sufferers but I thought Seroquel was for Bi-Polar?
Avatar f tn ive been put on multiple meds just bc of experimenting to see if theyd work on depression.. Zoloft, seroquel, septalaphram, geodon and respirdol. I realized at some point i felt like a zombie..i couldnt taste or feel and didnt care about anything, such as hygiene, hobbies, friends or family, grades..it didnt matter. I felt less than depressed, like an empty shell. So i quit taking those meds and some of the things have gone away but i still feel very vague..like in a dreamlike state..
Avatar m tn After taking Wellbutrin 150mg 2x daily and my Zoloft 100mg together fro the first time I woke disoriented and dizzy Just was wondering if I should of started the wellbutrin one a day to get used to it.
14114666 tn?1433108129 At the same time, to cope with my anxiety of starting work again, my Dr advised me to increase by dose of Seroquel (Quatiapine) by 25mg and Loxalate by 10mg so that i now take 75mg Seroquel and 30 mg Loxalate over the course of the day.
Avatar m tn I like using herbs myself and will share my list below for the anxiety you talk about. Hope it helps...they did...do for me. The herb Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis) is used as a sedative on the nervous system and a relaxant for the muscles (Reader's Digest, 2009, Pp128). It also helps with headaches, which can sometimes be a result of an anxiety attack. According to Mosby's the recommended dosage of Valerian extract is 400-900mg, before bedtime (2010, Pp592).
Avatar n tn ve read about brain shivers upon withdrawal from zoloft but currently experience brain shivers whilst taking zoloft. I take the zoloft in the morning and by about 3pm or 4pm begin getting the electric shocks in my brain. I used to get this only if i missed a dose but they are quite regular now and i am consistent with taking my meds. Do you know why this would happen? My doctors do not recognise these brain shivers.
Avatar n tn Have you ever blacked out before? You have to see your doctor. You may need a whole new regiment. I take Klonopin and find it to be a kinder gentler benzo. You can't just stop or switch your meds. It has to be done with your doctor's help. Slow and easy.....If you are not seeing a psyc doctor, you should consider it. They are more familiar with the types of meds you are taking.
