Common Questions and Answers about Seroquel and haldol

seroquel

Avatar n tn Real sex addiction is nothing to laugh at. She gave me a couple of Seroquel one time and I just took one, and was as f**ked up as a person can possibly get. It gave me the worst case of the munchies I'd ever had, but I had to stagger and hold onto things to make it to the kitchen. When I started munching out, I couldn't stop! I ate everything in sight, with 1/3 of it ending up on the floor (and my shirt) because I couldn't see of walk straight!
Avatar f tn I dropped Haldol and Lithium due to horrid side effects March 16 and upped my seroquel to 200-300, was lightheaded/dizzy for 2 weeks than all of a sudden I had vertigo for like 4 days.. feeling like my head was tilting; that continued for a few days and then all that went away and I just felt detached from my self and surroundings and felt these extreme sensations in my head.
2064758 tn?1331299797 Bipolar can have variants such as bipolar with psychotic features or schizoaffective disorder (such as I have) that have both mood and thought disturbances and can often require both a mood stabilizer and antipsychotic (as is true of myself). You could discuss this with the psychiatrist as well.
3058980 tn?1340515938 t considered other atypical antipsychotics. I know a lot of bipolar people on seroquel and lamotrigine and have never heard of one breast story from them for example. Although if he is hearing voices without mood swings, sounds a bit more like schizophrenia, or schizo-affective (bipolar + some of the aspects of schizophrenia).
2010625 tn?1329372056 hi i take seroquel xr and normal seroquel for bipolar disorder. the seroquel xr is a slow release tablet so it works over the night and the day. so i take the seroquel xr 450mg at about 7.30pm then at about 9.30pm i take the normal seroquel 250mg. it helps with sleep too.
155056 tn?1333638688 he feels that she is bi-polar and is treating her with seroquel....it has been about 10 days, and she still seems to have about 3-4 hours a day of this uncontrollable behavior....do you think that she is bi-polar? How long before the meds should help? She is still on a low dose, she gets 50mgs 2 x per day and 150 at night....and they are giving her haldol as needed, but no more than 3 mgs a day....the haldol does nothing, she calms down after about 3 hours.

Avatar n tn I did stop taking the seroquel without tapering off and I got very sick, just as a person would from stopping heroin. I am back on seroquel as I said, but I don't understand why the withdrawal symptoms are the same. Thanks again for the comment and have a great day.
Avatar f tn If adjunct to an MS then this OK of course like I do it myself, now I take stablon (an SSRE) but take along with seroquel to cover it up. In which case antidepressants are safe for a bipolar and i believe this is what most bipolars do. In fact, most bipolars are not contented with an MS and take along an AD BUT not an AD alone to guarantee safety and this is what IL is saying .
766412 tn?1234893283 My husband takes seroquel and depakote. He has been on it for 10 years and has done great with it. He did change from taking morning/night to just at night due to his high dose making it difficult to function during the day.
Avatar f tn I was almost raped and molested and beaten and robbed and strangled and drugged with haldol at a nursing home. is there anything we can do?
Avatar m tn I have taken Geodon, Haldol, Saphris, Risperdal, Seroquel, and Fanapt in just a year and a few months. Also just knowing that Fanapt can cause Tardive Dyskinesia scares me and would have me constantly paranoid if it is going to start. I wanna know if it is a good decision to take this drug until my numbness completely subsides and then stop it. I will bring all of this to the attention of my psychiatrist, but i just wanted to know what you think. Thank you.
Avatar f tn soft wrist restraints may be used to prevent pulling intravenous catheters and drains. Medications such as Seroquel, Zyprexa, and Haldol are frequently used to calm your brain and restore clear thinking.
Avatar f tn They are trying to diagnose my mother for stroke - she's already in hospital. She was in a coma, came out lucid but unable t speak or eat. Because she is aggitated,, they needed to sedate her for the brain MRI, and gave her Haldon (halperidol) 0.25mg (they say) by injection. She became a zombie, glassy eyed and unable to even blink. 30h later she was perhaps showing very tiny improvements, moving arms/legs slowly, but head barely at all. .
Avatar m tn Hello! I receive a 100 mg injection of haldol decanoate on July 27th and I've been dealing with an uncomfortable side effect for the past two months. I get this staring problem where I fixate on small details around me and I can't look away. Like I'll stare at the taillights of the car in front of me or the specks of herbs in my food. And when I try to close my eyes, my eyelids flutter rapidly and I see flashes. And my eyelashes scratch my eyeballs.
Avatar f tn However, for myself (not something you have of course) in having schizoaffective disorder I needed an antipsychotic and all of them except for Clozaril (which causes blood dyscreias and needs constant bloodwork and can be dangerous and something I couldn't tolerate) can cause it. I think I would have not been able to recover if I hadn't taken an antipsychotic all these years though I wish they had caught up with the tardive in time before it progressed this far.
Avatar f tn not at all, its a prescription, but it has saved me from the chills sweats and anxity, and it makes you sleep i went into the hospital with bad symptoms and they gave me some to try and said it is safe to use non addictive and can get it from a doctor, it is the only thing that has worked for me and this is the first time i had an aid to get clean i also picked up a bunch of vit's that supposedly help and im on day 4 and i think they are really helping but seriquil is a for sure way to help,
518117 tn?1429276273 The minor tremors caused by lithium are seperate and that unlike the Haldol can be adjusted for. And if he does need an antipsychotic, the atypical antipsychotics, from Risperdal onwards and less likely to have the severe effects of Haldol. Most likely they just stabilized him and released him and a follow up visit with the psychiatrist to adjust and fine tune things should improve things.
1618236 tn?1408072214 The clearing of my throat is a habit for me as I keep doing this on a daily basis and I do this ~~constantly during the day~~ all the way up until I go to bed, even then, I do it in bed as I am trying to sleep it is very annoying and upsetting to ME and my partner. Will Haldol help with this and do you consider this drug to be dangerous for me to take on a daily basis?
Avatar n tn We had to wait 4 months of hell to be seen by a pyschiatrist and then had to wait about another 3 months to see some benefits from meds - clonidine and sulpiride. The tablets made him very tired and down and didnt go to school very often as he couldnt concentrate and fell asleep in class. He is very good at keeping in his vocal and motor tics when in public and with his friends but now he cannot do that. His motor and vocal tics are worse than ever.
518117 tn?1429276273 The psychiatrist has put him on Trazodone, Effexor XR, Vistoril, Seroquel and Depakote. He is a what I call a full blown bipolar. Has a long history. He has been evaluated for possible schizoprenia while currently being the hospital. We do not know the rsults of the psych test that he just took. This seems like a vast amount of meds. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar m tn I'm worried abot my 6 1/2 year old niece. She has dropped from an lean, tall and rather muscular 97th percentile to just over 20th percentile in the last 6 months. She is pale, quieter than usual, catching every infection she comes in contact with, her lymph nodes aren't huge but weirdly hard (imagine frozen peas or dried beans under skin). She has been a picky eater in the past but this seems to be more than just a result of that behaviour re-occuring. Do I have reason to be concerned?
100309 tn?1328041299 Was it Haldol? Haldol is an anti-psychotic and Reglan (an anti-nausea) is also in the anti-psychotic family. I was given Reglan a long time ago because I had a CSF leak from a LP, I was in severe pain and the Reglan made me FREAK out! I have heard of some ER docs giving IV Haldol for HA, although it does cause some pretty bad adverse side effects! UGH, I can sympathize with you.. After they gave me that Reglan, it felt like I was going to have a heart attack. I was anxious times a million.
Avatar m tn Hi~~ It's diazepam/Valium and then he was on Haldol !! OMG..Haldol is used to treat psychosis. Poor baby had some troubles... V.
15699793 tn?1442689913 100 mg is just enough to cause similar symptoms as you experience at night. Seroquel is a very strong anti-psychotic and it is very wise to take it and go shortly after to bed. I know you may want to stay up and draw or hang out with your friends but until you can tolerate the Seroquel better it is hard to do. I had a difficult time when I first started taking it but if you want to become stable it is a great medicine.
663901 tn?1232649671 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
