seroquel

802234 tn?1237830136 I would like for him to change meds, come off the Seroquel and maybe go on another drug (antidepressant such as Luvox) for his OCD. How long would it take for him to wean off Seroquel and start another drug? I feel since he started taking Seroquel in 2004, his eye problem has gotten worse and I would like him to come off the drug. I don't know if this will help with his eyes or not. Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.
Avatar n tn Friend of mine was on Seroquel, and because of the involuntary jaw movements associated with Seroquel, she chipped her bottom front tooth.
605458 tn?1539228808 I used to take regular Seroquel with no sexual side effects. I was recently changed to Seroquel XR and the side effects are so different than regular Seroquel, and one of them is sexual side effects. Anyone else? The other new med I am on is Amitiza, which is for Irritable Bowel Syndrome and didn't have sexual side effects listed. I have been under a lot of new stress lately, but that has never caused this problem in the past.
8520825 tn?1398511460 seroquel is not to be fideled with. i hate it although i take 50mg it has side effects but no drug is optimum all have bad adverse effects. i wish i can get rid of it but as soon as i reduce the dose i get elated and my experience of mania is horrible. 1200 i never heard anything like this dose before. even 600 is large, no wonder you feel zombie. although i congratulate you for your capability to reduce the dose.
663901 tn?1232649671 Not brushing your teeth can cause health hazards besides cavities and gum disease. Seroquel is an excellent drug for hypo/mania and anxiety, pretty much a wonder drug for me, popping any pill has risks, but you have to look at the benefits right?
Avatar m tn 0 mg at night, and seroquel 450mg. After the addition of seroquel I started having classical music in my head that I could hear when I was hospitalized I asked several people if they heard what I did and they did not. However when I came home from the hospital I didn't have anymore auditory hallucinations. Seroquel helped me a lot with my ocd and gave me a lot of functioning ability. My adverse affects are sleep walking, night sweats and shaking hands until I eat something sweet.
Avatar n tn this is not a general question about a headache tablet this drug is an anti psychotic and yes we too get pregnant and we must face things that most do not. of course i do not want to harm my baby however if i become unstable from seizing the taking of this medication this can harm my baby even more. would you say the same thing to a diabetic who was pregnant? i think not perhaps b4 jumping to banal generalizations u should some checking . have u been on this drug?
Avatar m tn i suffer from chronic anxiety and would like to know whether seroquel xl is a good or a bad drug for this condition
Avatar m tn Don't quit the Seroquel abruptly -- taper off it. It's interesting you were put on Seroquel and are suffering insomnia -- the only way Valdoxan supposedly works is by increasing the effectiveness of melatonin, which regulates sleep cycles -- in other words, if it works at all for depression, and the evidence appears to be soft, it's by improving sleep.
Avatar f tn Since seroquel has such a huge effect on sleep and auditory hallucinations are often associated with that? Did they get worse when she started this med? Chemical imbalance of the brain is also often associated and hopefully these meds would even this out. I'd keep at making sure meds are just right but does she also do talk therapy? CBT, DBT and ACT therapy are all pretty helpful. https://my.clevelandclinic.
574118 tn?1305135284 it occurred to me that seroquel is frying my brain and changes it. I take risperidone 1mg and another AP (typical) 1mg. If i cut these two any time nothing will happen seriously except in the long run. In fact i did that many times in the course of my bloody illness. But as soon as i cut seroquel i feel it right away with my mixed states. I know each of these nasty drugs causes something or another but seroquel is by excellence the worst.
Avatar n tn Hello I take Seroquel XR and needed a side effect drug as I was getting sudden movements, twitches and tensing calves, my pdoc said that out of all the anti psychotics that Seroquel was one of the least likely to cause these side effects but I still got them. I have noticed when my dose has been lowered or when I forget to take it I feel a generalised ache all over my body.
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.
1168718 tn?1464983535 I love Seroquel! I have been on it for years and it is one drug I have never, ever had a problem with. I have been on so many drugs that I had problems with. I usually take 25mg and if I am having a bad time I might take two 25mg in a day. I like the regular over the extended release because it does not leave me spacey. Everyone is different. The Doctor is the key ingredient. Every drug has side effects. Everyone reacts differently to each drug. There is no one size fits all.
Avatar n tn i take seroquel 125mg and am concerned about my liver. any drug affects the liver.

563541 tn?1257877567 hi sweetie dont know anything about that drug but wanted to stop in and say hi and how proud of u i am...
Avatar f tn Yes I gained a fair amount of weight on Depakoate (another brand name for Epilim) and Seroquel. I do know I had less of a problem with weight gain with Lamictal and that among the current generation of antipsychotics, Abilify, Fanapt and Saphris are the least likely to cause weight gain but each person responds differently to each medication. Ask your psychiatrist about available options.
Avatar n tn Hello, I have been reading a lot lately about the side effects of Seroquel. The one that concerns me the most is the diabetes. I am obese and diabetes runs in my family. I even have a brother that is insulin dependent. I am wondering if I should get off this drug? Does the diabetes continue even after the drug is discontinued? Is there another antipsychotic I could take that does not have this side effect? Thank you so much for your time.
Avatar f tn The first question would be, do you actually have bipolar disorder? It's overdiagnosed. Did a psychiatrist or psychologist diagnose you or a regular doc? Because if that's not what you have, yes, Seroquel has as a side effect that it's very sedating, but when you take drugs for psychoses and you're not psychotic they can cause all kinds of odd side effects. And any drug that affects the brain can have odd effects on a particular individual.
534105 tn?1226157177 Clonazepam is classified as an addictive drug and controlled substance. Seroquel isn't. I"m not sure why your doctor wants you to take seroquel -- you don't say why here. This is a drug intended for a limited purpose that was marketed illegally for all kinds of things, mostly for sleep because an unwanted side effect of it is a lot of sedation. You'd probably find quantitatively more problems quitting clonazepam, as it's one of the hardest of brain drugs to stop taking.
Avatar n tn I have been on Seroquel for quite some time now and I have noticed that my memory has decreased immensely. I was wondering if this is a normal side effect from the Seroquel? Also, if I discontinue using Seroquel, will my memory return to normal?
Avatar f tn I have been on 100 mg of Seroquel a day for the past 4 weeks and 900 mg of lithium a day for the past 2 weeks and am finding my agitation and irritability greatly increased. My reactions are far more intense than before I started the meds. Has anyone experienced this with Seroquel?
Avatar n tn Will this drug cause more problems or will it help me sleep and get rid of disphoria feelings?
