Common Questions and Answers about Seroquel and methadone

seroquel

Avatar n tn I have heard of people switching from Methadone to Suboxone. It really needs to be done under a doctors care. I think you have to be below 30 mg and stop taking the Methadone for almost 5 days. I was prescribed Seroquel while on Suboxone. All of these drugs are super strong, so please do this under a doctors care.

541465 tn?1219427886 HI, I normally take 120 mgs of methadone daily ( been clean off opiates or over 6 months now), take 2mgs of Klonopins daily, and 50 to 100mgs of phenergan (promethazine or promethazine hyrochloride, ) , AND 0.2 mgs of Chlonodine a day,. . . . .AND, 200mgs oF seroquel ( but only used for sleep. Im prescribed all the meds so this pill i found which i knew was a Tramadol/Ultram 50 mgs. Is that safe? The only interaction that i am worried about is the methadone.
Avatar m tn Is seroquel a benzo?? I heard that in low dose prescription it is used for sleep and higher doses it is used for bi-bolar disorder. I've been taking it off and on for 4yrs and it's prescribed for sleep for me. Maybe a good question would be... is this medication prescribed to you?

Avatar m tn If it were me, i would take up to 30 mg of diazepam instead of the seroquel.....and read the post above concerning one individuals experience with seroquel......lots of natural things that do work also. Check out the amino acid protocol and the Thomas Recipe posted at bottom right of page.

999828 tn?1250122926 it was 25mgs for 3 months, then moved to 50mgs and so on until i was at 200mgs, i understand why you were perscribed 150mgs for methadone detox that makes sense, 25mgs is not going to help someone coming off of methadone, but i am not sure why he is using the ex, its common tx to use seroquel for methadone detox, and it works great for wd symptoms, but if you stay on it you will gain so much weight, thats what i hate about this medication, it can be so helpful but the side effects are very bad
425312 tn?1279966179 it is an antipsychotic used for schizophrenics and people with dillusional disorders and causes involuntary movement and restlesness which you are ALREADY experiencing......

Avatar f tn Just in case you are curious, it takes us three to four days to detox a patient from methadone or any other opiate and get him/her back home drug free and feeling well on Naltrexone therapy (no opiates). At home, the basic technique is to space out the pills you take on a consistent manner until you take only one at night, than half at night, than every other night and then none.
871560 tn?1240023175 Seroquel is what I use for sleep sometimes. It really will knock you out so much so that I don't take it during the week b/c I have overslept and was very late for work. Make sure that the first night you start on a low dose. Most doctors will start patients out at 25mgs b/c that is the lowest dose available.What I had to do in the beginning was break the 25mg pill in half. They are not scored so you will need a pill cutter. This drug is safe to break in half b/c my dr. told me to do so.
Avatar n tn I have been on methadone for 90 days, I take 100 mg every other day. How long and how server will my withdrawals be, if I go cold turkey and stop.
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 f tn I applaud your resolve to get clean, but want to caution you that methadone is a long acting narcotic and your withdrawal symptoms will stick around for quite a while. You will feel rotten for as long as four to six weeks. You may want to switch to something shorter acting, talk to your doctor about it, and taper off of that. There is really no easy way of detoxing from home. I have dealt with hundreds of addicts who have all told me horror stories of doing it by themselves.
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 In the meantime see if a doctor can write you a prescription for some Requip for restlessness, Neurontin for anxiety and malaise, some Flexeril or Soma for a few weeks for muscle spasms and maybe some Seroquel low dose, for sleep and Klonopin which will be helpful for sleeplessness and anxiety. It will make withdrawals easier. Valerian and Magnesium is sometimes helpful remedies over the counter. The residual symptoms of insomnia and depression can last another few months.
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?
