Common Questions and Answers about Seroquel get high

seroquel

Avatar n tn Well, I cant agree. I LOVE my Seroquel. But I only take it at Bedtime. It knocks me the "you know what" OUT! Now, if I go Psychotic and Delusional - I HAVE to take it but that's only happened once since I started my little combo of Topomax and Seroquel. I'm not on a very high dose of it, though. I tend to think less is more in some instances but a lot of PDocs are all concerned about "theraputic levels".
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 m tn i have recently got off seroquel for anxiety and i have been off of it for 4 days now and i am itchy, i am having depressed phases, i am very nauseous when does this go away before the 50mgxr i was on 100mg that was 2 weeks ago should i take another pill or just stop like i have been doing?
Avatar m tn it could help you sleep extremely but i used to take it alot and your body gets addictid to that to im actually now down to 100mg and am slowly getting off , if i dont take it i cant sleep at all its like weed, your drowsey and you get the munchies you just cant smoke it. once your body gets used to it and you dont get high off it anymore is when you should talk 2 sum 1. dependening on your tolerance.

766412 tn?1234893283 Hi everyone (especially the original poster), I'm new here but I actually joined this whole MedHelp network for weight loss DUE to seroquel. Over the past six years I've reached a high dose of 400mg, and now I'm starting to experience some of the side effects: massive weight gain, slowed metabolism, messy lipids and cholesterol levels, and a bunch of other stuff that is starting to put me at risk for Type II diabetes.
Avatar n tn So i am day 10 of being sober off of a 6 year vicodin habit of 40 tabs of 750mg a day and cant get more than 3 hours of sleep a night. I just got a script from my doc for Seroquel and he says it will help with my sleep and anxiety. But he says it will be about 3-4 days of feeling pretty poor. I am feeling better every day and the last thing i want to do is go through 4 days of feeling like c r a p. I have tried Lunesta, melatonin and benadryl with no luck.
915369 tn?1355314810 Ok so I told my psychiatrist everything that came to my mind yesterday, so most of what's been troubling and how my episodes have been and how long they've been lasting and how severe they are or aren't. She said it sounded like I had rapid cycling, asked me how my low and high I was getting and just kept repeating that they get "severe". I thought I was getting better so surprise surprise for me!
Avatar m tn I was on seroquel for a while when I was in high school, and the only real problem I had was not being able to stay awake during class. It really kept me sedated, and I wasn't a huge fan of that because I'm an active person. Other than that, I didn't have any out of the ordinary side effects, or complications.
809366 tn?1238749581 if you get to bad go to the er they will get ahold of any pdoc..there should be one on the grounds anyways..but the serquil i had to come off of it due to this and heart rate spiked high 140 bpm..im sure this wont happen to you..i was on 200mgs xr..it made me calm after i went to bed but when they added the lexapro that was it.......................most people can take ssri,s with a mood stabilizer..i cant not a a,ll........rember er to bad!!!!!!!!
Avatar f tn my valium has been a very high dose 60mg a day. will i get withdrawl symptoms from stopping the valium? when i started the seroquel 5 days ago i had a slight headache hardly anything. but now 5 days later my headache is very bad.
Avatar n tn I have multiple sclerosis, depression, and a sleep problem. My ms meds[baclofen/tizanidine] and 300mg of seroquel gave me a memory loss big-time!!!. The ER cut all my meds in half[dc'd the tizan]. I never want to go that high again. I couldn't remember my grandchildren!!! I did get withdrawals from it.[Was jumpy/agitated/anxious]for several days. I'm on 150mg now. My dreams at night are vivid, and it's like being in a reality show!
1021784 tn?1306363011 I am now at 600 mg. Over long periods of time u will get immune to lower doses. I take seroquel xr which is extended release where u take it at night and the benefits last all day. Not just at night. U won't be sleepy all day, just at night when u first take it. I have taken it for long term because it helps a lot. But you will need to have blood work Avery three to six months while taking it because it can cause sugar problems. I have yet to have that problem though.
802234 tn?1237830136 Seroquel dose is too high I am practically sleep walking today and still want to close my eyes after a passed out nap I also had a migraine and took 2 Aleve 8 hours ago (no impact on the 'puffs'.) My doc and I have to get Zonegran out of my regimen (cognitive confusion, dangerously and abnormally thin) any thoughts on the puffiness?
607502 tn?1288247540 I was transfered from Seroquel to Risperdal years ago. Once the Seroquel was gone completely, for a couple of days I had minor flu like withdrawal symptoms and slept all day and felt run down. Then I was okay after that.
883607 tn?1241847511 I've been stuck in a high at present, get it down with my crisis plan, but then it goes up again! I've just emailed my doc again to see what he thinks about me driving, this was prompted by my mate Gerry calling me to express his concern. Background is that I wrecked my car 18 (and another) months ago when I was REALLY high. Here's the email.............
Avatar f tn It's a good reason to get off seroquel because it has been proven that it can lead to diebetic and weight gain issues.. I too am trying to come off it, because I HAVE gained excessive weight without any reason other then attributed to this medicine. It works great for my anxiety, but I have to try an alternative. I read from someone that they are taking effexor and busprone ( which I have been on the busprone); I wish you the best in you search with your physciatrist.
Avatar m tn Dear Ronndy I would say that 100 mg Seroquel is a very high dosage to treat insomina. Usually you would take only 10-25 mg in that respect. It seems that you could have some withdrawl problems as you stopped klonopin abruptly. As Paxiled pointed out it is a bit "heavy" to prescribe klonopin for insomnia when "lighter" medications are available, for instance zolpidem or zopiklone. Or anti-histamine(allergy-medication as atarax).
Avatar f tn Everyone reacts to medication differently. A medication that might work for me might be disastrous for you. You might have started at too high of a dose or increased your dose too fast, you might be on too high of a dose for your body or it might just simply be the wrong medication for you. I would inform your doctor of these side effects right away if you haven't done so already.
Avatar f tn my son is on 300mg seroquel.........it won't knock him out at night so he has to add 15mg zoplicone in order to fall asleep, but than he is zonked out for at least 8 hrs...he does get up and go to work but its very hard, he really has to struggle to stay awake. His psych told him to be VERY SURE he takes it 12 hrs BEFORE trying to drive. and he tries too however some nights he isn't home from work early enough...
Avatar n tn Hello, I have been taking Seroquel at 50MG for about 7 years at bedtime with .5 mg of Xanax all prescribed for Mood/Anxiety Disorder. I wanted to ask, if I were to drink heavily (six pack) once a week, would this affect my liver functioning due to these medications, specifically Seroquel? I used to drink more, but cut it back to only once a day last few months. Last liver test was alright, but bilirubin levels were high normal. thank you.
Avatar m tn Seroquel is often used these days as an augmentation drug for all kinds of things, but it looks like a lot of it was fraudulent marketing by the manufacturer. So it's hard to tell how well it works for other than the two things it was approved for. The manufacturer isn't only being sued, the federal gov't has also taken action.
Avatar n tn I'm pretty sure the culprit is the seroquel, your on a high dose and have been on seroquel for over 10 years so please please do not take your self off this type of medication with out medical mentoring, it could be dangerous, always seek medical advice before stopping!!!! A young man who's a close family friend, was also put on seroquel to help him sleep, he immediately had adverse reactions, actively became schizophrenic even though he had not ever been a schizophrenic.

Has anyone any ideas on how to lose medication weight without going off the meds. I just read that Seroquel causes hunger after eating a meal.
