534105 tn?1226157177 I think withdrawal from quetiapine is messing with the combo. 12 years ago I used the same combination (60mg of cymbalta and 1.0mg of clonazepam daily with good success). Hope I will improve in a copuple of weeks once the quetiapine leaves.
Avatar n tn Hi, You mentioned about possible side effects when taking the prescription drugs. Side effects are a constant issue when dealing with any type of prescription. My wife had an issue sleeping and was interested not in a prescription type of sleep aid, but in something that would have no side effects. She was thrilled with the results of Fast2Sleep. Here is a link, you can look at which tells about different user's experience with this: http://potenthealthsupplements.com/blog/?
Avatar f tn Sorry the beginning got cut off It said I am on medication I don’t feel I need anymore and the negative side effects outweigh any benefits. I no longer have panic attacks but I am on 50 mg of quetiapine at night...
Avatar f tn Has any one reduced and successfully stopped taking quetiapine? were there any horrible withdrawal symptoms or return of symptoms? I am feeling scared I must say.
534105 tn?1226157177 I am now struggling with anxiety and mild insomnia mainly due to withdrawal. Dr. wants me to take 25mg of Seroquel (quetiapine) per day. Do you think this is a good decision? I do not want to be addicted or dependent on any psych drug, and I have heard that quetiapine also is a drug that causes addiction and withdrawal symptoms..
1052851 tn?1307741160 I am currently on 200mg Quetiapine and 30mg Cipralex in the morning. 100mg Quetiapine at noon, and 300mg Quetiapine at night, along with 50mg Clonazapam. I tried taking Zeldox, as I gained a lot of weight from the Quetiapine, but the Dr. made it an add on and kept me on the Quetiapine as well. I had very bad side effects, and got off the Zeldox immediately. I told my doctor about it, and she changed the Zeldox, which was 80mg daily to Abilify, which I take 10mg in the morning and 10mg at noon.
Avatar f tn 50 every other day for about 4 months, my panic got so far worse than before, so i wen to see a neurologist, he put me straight away on valdoxan and quetiapine 25mg, took only valdoxan for 2 weeks i had'nt been able to have a good night sleep, my doc said to take half a quetiapine at bed time but also gave me zolpidem, my ansiety is great that none of these make sleep well, my question is: are this the withdrawal symptoms of the clonopil and how long will i have to put up with them?
Avatar m tn I was taking depokote with this but like you we found that it stopped working I just started getting horrendous side effects. I took quetiapine for my mixed state episodes and to try to help my anxiety.( rather than a benzo..) This also worked for a while but then after taking this combination for around 5 years I had to stop depokote and quetiapine as they were no longer helping me infact the side effects were becoming a real issue aswell.
Avatar f tn I take 100mg at night for sleep and the side effects arnt that severe. I've noticed a bit of weight gain and they make me VERY tired but that's about it.
Avatar f tn I’m particularly worried about withdrawal from diazepam as I evoked the withdrawal syndrome as abrupt cessation from clonazapam.
1255936 tn?1296623461 Hello Everyone! Anyone have positive effects on Seroquel for GAD? I know it's an anti-psychotic for Schizophrenia and BP1 & 2. I have read everything I can find on this drug. I have been given 25mg a night for GAD that has developed over the last 5 months. I have a history of severe depressive episodes and have been on Effexor for yrs (300mg/day). The depression has been held back relatively well but the GAD and some symptoms of depression are creeping in.
Avatar f tn I tried Geodeon recently, and could only tolerate the side effects for a month, then I changed back to Quetiapine. I changed over to Geodeon for the same reason that you did, in one month I gained 30 pounds!
644988 tn?1236364548 Update. Hi. My dissociative moments have receded and I've ha a week or so of being in agood mood and really productive; more so than for over a year. I increased my bedtime dose of quetiapine but found I was feeling "wired" with irritability and anger in the afternoons/evenings. My sleeps are short (five to six hours at the moment despite the increased quetiapine). In view of this, I've re-added a morning dose of quetiapine and now things seem better..
Avatar n tn When I do not take Quetiapine thee is no chance that I will sleep, is there any natural remedies that will help me sleep?
Avatar f tn Hi! I'm just trying to do some research for my friend ... She's been on Quetiapine (an atypical antipsychotic) for about 2yrs, but previous to this she was diagnosed with borderline hypothyroidism. Suddenly, she has fallen really ill and blood tests have confirmed minor hypothyroidism (T3 levels around 9)... but the symptoms look like hyper!
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, i have recently been diagnosed with mixed-mood disorder and have just started taking quetiapine and i just wondered if anybody has got any experience with this antiphsychotic?
1052851 tn?1307741160 I recently switched over from Quetiapine to Zeldox, as I had gained 30lbs in 2 mths with the Quetiapine, and this was affecting my self confidence, as well as not being able to fit into my jeans. I studied up on Zeldox, and it was promoted to give you the benefits of Quetiapine, but with minimal weight gain, so after discussing it with my Dr., I thought I would give it a try. The first month, I could not sleep.
Avatar f tn i was just wanting to know if lamotrigine and quetiapine can cause sore throats I've been taking these meds for 4 days and I started getting sick after day 2
Avatar f tn -)hi,yeah doc has put me on new meds quetiapine 50mg for now,but just new to them hair loss weight loss been happening for lot years now,doctor says all stress,i think so to maybe :-(
Avatar f tn l was also put on olanzapine 40 mg venlafaxine 300 mg and quetiapine 125 mg. I had horrible side effects from the quetiapine. They basically put me in a drugged straight jacket and the panic attacks stopped. When I left the hospital I was taking lithium 750 mg olanzapine 40 mg venlafaxine 300 mg and clonazepam PRN. I didn’t know if I was Arthur or Mather due to all the mediation. I applied for a new job and got and was fired after one day.
