seroquel and nms

Just wanted to chime in that my mom has chronic leg cramps, and she takes abilify and she used to take seroquel, but the leg pain seems to be chronic and when her leg cramps are really bothering her, it really takes away from her day. The only thing that seems to work is having somebody massage the legs, to get rid of the muscle stiffness... that seems to work better than ibuprofen.

The HR and BP are lower at rest, while the HR picks up and BP is elevated during emotional stress and exercise. The control of the HR and BP are with the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. The former increases the HR and BP while the latter reduces them. Marciamcm, Normally, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system work together in a very efficient and cooperative manner. From time to time, this system breaks down in people with NMS.

I recently started taking Latuda. Been in er three times..but here's the catch...the day before I started I was seen in er with chest pain.took latuda that night.and next day had shortness of breath......back to er got prednisone,and levaquin...went to work and ppl are freaking that rather I'm sunburned or Bp was high.....turned out Bp was high 152/102 ...was red and flushed only on head neck and face.....nowhere else......was told prednisone side effect....

Neuraleptic malignant syndrome is a rare adverse reaction to an antipsychotic while someone is taking it and has a high fever and can be fatal. That would be immediately noted and is not what you are talking about. What you described from your posts sounded like it could potentially be tardive dyskinesia (a long term movement disorder for more information google "Patient Education Tardive Dyskinesia"). The best thing to do is to see a neurologist who is a movement disorders specialist.

It sounds like the hospital did a terrible thing and it sounds like you have proof from your discharge papers. However, I think that you may be confused about thinking that you have a life span of 40 days. I found the following, " These symptoms can last anywhere from eight hours to forty days." and "When recognized early NMS can be successfully managed, however up to 10% of cases can be fatal.

My wife has come down with what the Dr's think is NMS. She is in a catatonic state and has been so for 3 weeks after taking Olanzapine. does anyone out there have any experience with this (NMS) and what is the prognosis. I am told to just wait it out but for how long, will she recover, what will she be like????? she is on a feeding tube and vitals are stable. I greatly appreciate any help you can offer!

Vasovagal syncope (sometimes abbreviated VVS), neurally mediated syncope [NMS]—which is a term that is probably least frequently used of all of these, and neurocardiogenic syncope (often seen as NCS) are used pretty much interchangeably to mean syncope (fainting) that is not from a strictly cardiac origin. Cardiac causes of syncope are a completely different class of health problems.

I was diagnosed with NMS about 3 yrs ago and since it has just gotten worse and worse. I feel like I am making excuses at times because it doesn't seem like that serious of a problem to a lot of people, including doctors who constantly blow me off when I go to see them and tell that that it's just how my heart is - basically I feel they are saying "get over it".

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.

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?

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.
