Common Questions and Answers about Seroquel and lorazepam

seroquel

Avatar f tn I was prescribed Lorazepam for anxiety last Dec.-June. (2 mg a day for 4 of 6 mo.) I became addicted & could not taper off it myself so went to a detox center. They gave me phenobarbital since I reacted to the other benzos, plus Seroquel, Vistaril, & Trazadone. The detox was for 10 days and it was almost 3 months ago. I have been experiencing muscle twitching the past few weeks all over my body & some eye blinking.
Avatar f tn One night, I accidentally, took 2mg of Lorazepam and it worked great until Dec 1, 2010. I was put back on 100mg of Seroquel and it did not work at all. I took it for four days and quit. Next was Ambien CR, the 12.5mg dose allowed me to sleep for about 2 hours, a second dose would allow me to sleep for another hour. I even tried a third dosage without any success. A new doctor prescribed 100 to 200mg Trazodone and 15mg Mirtazapine.
3145974 tn?1343086198 , 50 or 100 mg of Seroquel PLUS 0.5 mg of lorazepam, or perhaps 50 mg diphenhydramine PLUS 0.5 or 1.0 mg of lorazepam, in an attempt to help me fall asleep in a largely nonaddictive way, but the touch of lorazepam benzo takes the edge off or prevent that paradoxical agitated, panicky feeling that is just driving me off the edge? THANKS a lot for your responses.
Avatar n tn would taking percocet lessen the effects of lithium, seroquel, or lorazepam?
Avatar f tn My wife is 68 and has m.s. she takes prozac,lorazepam for nerves and sleeping,seroquel for major mood swings and now aricept. Is this to much medicine to take together.
Avatar m tn I've been on Zoloft just 1 week so far. Today, I started feeling a little better. I read it can take up to a month to work. I cut my dose of Lorazepam in half to see how I would feel and so far so good. I've been to counseling for years. I think the Lorazepam caught up to me as I'm not getting the benefits I used to out of it. Hopefully, the Zoloft alone will work eventually. Thanks for responding!
Avatar m tn For example, in natural medicine the thing to add would be passionflower and hops or kava or something like that, which if they work will do what lorazepam does without the addiction problem. There would also be dietary and exercise and meditation changes involved, a whole body approach as opposed to a one remedy cures all approach.
Avatar f tn t that hte same thing) 1 mg 1/2 to 1 pill twice a day, and the new medication, they took me off trazadone 100 mg 1 pill a night to Seroquel 25 mg 1 to 2 once a day. I've got a few friends that take seroquil and it's been a medication where they couldn't function with the medication (including my sister and have had to change because she couldn't funtion the next day), so my question is this. Is there anyone else taking seroquil right now, or have you taken it in the past?
Avatar f tn Is it,and How, dangerous is it to take Percocets and Lorazepam together? My hysband takes both for back pain. He is also on an antidepressant......Should I be concerned?????
Avatar n tn Rubinstein-taybi syndrome or broad thumb and hallux syndrome is charecterised by short stature, moderate to severe mental retardation, distinctive facial features and broad thumbs and first toes. Other features vary among the affected individuals. It is genetically inherited disorder. The symptoms that you mentioned are not related to this disease. And also this could be a normal phenomenon, because when we tend to retain urine, it turns a bit dark yellow and might have odour.
Avatar f tn Then when I began having anxiety issues and panic attacks 9 months ago, and was prescribed the Lorazepam which made me so ill and became addicted to it in 6 months time, that whole ordeal made my phobia worse. I don't want to take anything at all, and prior to 9 months ago, I took only one scrip for my interstital cystitis. My life has changed so drastically in the past 9 months and I would give anything to have it back to the way it was & to sleep again.
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,
Avatar m tn Can you take Melatonin and Nyquil with Venlafaxine ER and Lorazepam, or would that be a big mistake? I need sleep desparately!!!!
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.
Avatar n tn Lorazepam and Ativan are the same medication. Ativan is the brand name, Lorazepam is the generic.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn If there is no contraindication for taking depakote and lorazepam, they may tell you to go ahead and take your normal dose of lorazepam but to contact your doctor ASAP. Make some calls and you'll soon be back in control.......you'll be fine. And either find a new doctor or let this one know that when it comes to medications, anytime they add something or change something......
Avatar m tn Has anyone taken Seroquel and anti-biotics and are now experiencing heart problems? Do these issues subside, I stopped the seroquel when this happened?
802234 tn?1237830136 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.
1134609 tn?1269272200 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).
Avatar n tn 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.
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.
