seroquel and eps

They should not be combined and you can experience EPS symtoms from that high of a dose.

I have tried Seroquel, Seroquel XR, Zyprexa, and Lithium, all in the space of a few weeks... I thought that they were causing me to cycle harder, but I have realized that I am getting the akathisia side effect from them.. When the sun is down, they bring up my mood, but when it's bright out, I get very agitated.. All of these drugs have this side effect as they work on dopamine. I am at a loss right now; has anyone else had this problem? I am slowly running out of medications...

I;m fifteen years of age. I been diagnosed with anxiety disorder, depression, and they gave me medication to sleep known as Seroquel. Every time I take my prescribed sleeping medication I keep waking up, I am having a sleeping issue that is involving twitching, hard to fall asleep, to stay asleep, and I would call/text people while sleeping. My other symptoms are cold sweat, headaches, nausea. I haven't been eating from Friday October 8th,2010 and it is Tuesday, October 12th,2010.

to add...she reminds me of a parkinson's patient in her affect and motions...

s sometimes when he runs, once he passed out and the 3 other times he was very exhausted and complains that his heart is very tired and slow. He has a small PFO, Complete RBBB, mild infundibular stenosis, bidirectional shuntig through the PFO, subglottic stenosis he had a very large VSD repair as well as a PDA Ligation and the PFO was stitched prior to his cardiac surgery his murmur was 6/6 a year after it was done he was a 1-2/6 now he is a 3/6 and it is almost 5 years later.

Hi. First know, you are not alone! Everyone here feels the same fears, most of us, all the time. Second your EP well do an evaluation and probably some out all of the tests your asking about, maybe a30 day monitor, maybe even a tilt take test. He or she will know best what to do, and after hopefully you'll have some piece of mind. Hang in there and let us know how it goes!

My results for visual, auditory, and somatosensory evoked potentials all came in as normal. I have at least 9 head lesions, O bands in my CSF, and a bunch of MS symptoms. I haven't seen my Neuro since LP and EP tests, and won't see him till May. I believe I've been tested for all other possible diseases that might fit, all negative. What are the chances of MS dx with normal evoked potentials? Anyone else been dx'd with normal EP's?

Yes when I was on Seroquel I had to get an eye exam each year due to the extremely rare risk of cataracts but I saw an opthamologist anyway so it was no big deal. That is statisically rare and no reason to be concerned about Seroquel and a check up as I suggested is the best form of follow up. Seroquel is safe in this regard. In this case (you know I am always factual) your pharmacist was overstating the risk but a follow up visit is generally a good idea.

Well im scheduled for a EPS and hopefully an ablation if they can induce it on June 26th.. Maybe the fourth time will be a charm.. Even though I have had three previous ones with no success im still a bit nervous and anxious at the same time.. So hopefully this will take care of the ventricular bigemny and nsvt... pray pray...

Since seroquel can cause high BG you sure your diabetic and not as a result of seroquel raising your BG? Go to Google and put seroquel into the serch field.

My first pregnancy i did bot use it and my daughter is very smart. I was wondering if any of you have used seroquel and delivered a healthy baby.

Has anyone taken Seroquel and anti-biotics and are now experiencing heart problems? Do these issues subside, I stopped the seroquel when this happened?

I saw him for about 2 years before I got up the nerve to have the ablation. He and the other EPs in his office (espcially Dr. Leon) are extremely qualified. There are also some excellent EPs at Piedmont Hospital but I trusted Dr. DeLurgio, his staff, and he had tons of experience. I see no reason to leave the Atlanta area for an ablation when we have some of the best EPs right here in our back yard. Good luck to you!

My question I took my first dose of Seroquel XR last night and woke with small puffy area inside the 'bags' under my eyes they are still there 9 hours into the day - a non-work, no sun, low energy day (the bags are normal, puffiness is normal when I cry) but usually the whole 'bag' is swollen not just a part. They are not exactly the same size or in the same position, not red, itchy, hot or sensitive.

Every atypical antipsychotic has the potential of metabolic changes that can cause weight gain and on ocassion diabetes but if you eat a sensible diet and exercise that can be kept under control (that also includes the second issue, a person I knew developed pre-diabetes from Abilify and through weight loss, proper dieting and exercise and following up with his doctor was able to keep this in check).

The knowledge that I have is that xanax and Seroquel do not have an impact on your liver. Also 50 mgs of Seroqeul is very low dose. I am on 600. However it looks like you have hepatitis c and you probably know you shouldn't drink because of that. There are likely a lot of medications that effect your liver. The only ones I know of are Tylenol and pain medicines that contain acetaminophen, but I am sure there are likely a lot more.

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.

How safe is 200 milligrams of seroquel while pregnant and nursing? 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?

I was on seroquel. It was awful. I was mean WHEN i did awake. the doctor put me on 300mg and I had to sleep a full day on it. So they lowered it but then i slept a 1/2 day so then they put it on 50 and I wouldn't sleep and when I slept I was mean as ever. So I no longer take seroquel. its not good for me.

I take 25mg seroquel at night and 200mg zoloft a day also. I plan on going to FL for vacation in July and when I get back I have to start Hep C treatments, I am going to drink one last time. Can I drink while Im on this med? I know that since I have been taking the seroquel I feel ALOT BETTER!! I was extremely depressed but now Im doin okay. I cant skip this med, Im afraid of that sever depression, but I also want ot let my hair down one last time. What would you suggest?

I was aware Seroquel could cause cataracts when I took it in the past but I never got them and its rare but not unknown but just like when I got heart arrythmia from Geodon I had to change to something else. I believe your psychiatrist just means you have to stay on medication as for "working around it". But you could ask what antipsychotics don't cause cataracts and see if you could tolerate one of them.

m no expert, this is my opinion, but I do take Seroquel and have been on a long car and bus ride, and roller coasters lol)

ve been taking Lamictal for about 7 months, along with a secondary anti-psychotic to after a major mania episode. I started on Seroquel for about 3 months, and the combination seemed to work well. I had to D/C the Seroquel when my insurance changed and it wasn't covered. Since then I've tried first perphenazine (4 weeks), then thiothixene (six weeks), but they were too sedating and I was having a problem working.

A home health nurse visited for 2 weeks and stopped. She was given the Diltiazem, Lasix and Seroquel while in the hospital and has been on them about 2 months. Her doctor wants her to stay on the Seroquel indefinitely and hasn't really been concerned about monitoring her. I plan to take her to another doctor soon.

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.

I started taking 50mg of Seroquel in December for sleep. Shortly after I began to feel as if I couldn't breathe. I went to the ER and they checked me out and told me it was anxiety. So I saw My nurse practitioner and she prescribed Vistaril 50 mg 3x a day. I room it for a week. Still had the same symptoms. I figured out It was The seroquel. I tried to call the nurse but they are never available so I did not do my homework on this med and quit it cold Turkey.
