Avatar m tn Big Pharma Reps Use Disney Characters to Push Antipsychotic Drugs How is this for creative selling? An AstraZeneca regional sales manager allegedly directed the sales reps in her region to use some of Winnie the Pooh’s well-known friends - specifically, Tigger and Eeyore - to promote the Seroquel antipsychotic. http://www.pharmalot.
809366 tn?1238749581 I take four seroquil a day, currently. One in the morning with my lithium, one in the afternoon...I drink a big tea before taking this one and two at bed time. The dose per pill is25 mg. Maybe, if spread out you wouldn't be groggy. Hope you find a balance.
Avatar n tn Hi my name is Mike and my wife is now currently in the hospital from overdose of seroquel and maybe other medications that she might have.
574118 tn?1305135284 Its a matter of promoting full mood stability than just treating depression only and creating the potential of mania (which can happen with anti depressents prescribed for bipolar especially on their own) and since Seroquel has been FDA approved as a full mood stabilizer and works in that regard (as I remember when I was prescribed it) it has full efficacy in this area but there is still continuing research (unlike its effect on schizophrenia which is known) to understand exactly why.
Avatar f tn The doctors say it has nothing to do with the Seroquel I took. He has a high IQ of 130, and he is in preschool reading at a 3rd grade level. He was a happy baby and is a happy delightful little boy. I'm so nervous about having this baby girl as I don't know if there will be any problems. A genetics doctor looked up the information and studies and showed me that the Seroquel does not cause birth defects. There were some children that had heart problems or respitory problems.
571167 tn?1223214465 Well i have been on it for three days and have done nothing but sleep!!!! Kind of worried because i was on Seroquel at one point and it did the same thing but i stopped taking it because i was unable to care for my 4 kids. Dont want to go thru this again But just want my bi-polar under control. Please help?
1168718 tn?1464983535 hi everyone, was just wondering if you guys have had any trouble with Seroquel? I am being put on it for sleep, and I have read up on it, and the side effects are kinda scarey. Does anyone have any input? My Dr. is putting me on a very tiny dose to start, as I reacted to Nortriptyline and have been on nothing for sleep for 3 days now. Can anyone give me some help please??
Avatar m tn I've read and read and talked and talked and even personally experimented with my own seroquel dosing. I'm a card carrying bipolar and typical of such folk have tried everything out there in pharm-world alone and in combination. For me, Seroquel is the ticket. I have one problem. A few years ago I made a move to a more healthy lifestyle which includes diet, exercise, yoga, and meditation - all good things. I even went back to work.
1563533 tn?1345366296 I contracted Hep C while taking care of people in a hospital setting. Now, Im 35, no kids, no husband, and about to go thru the next year of my life under hard treatments for the HepC for 11months to be exact. I will no longer ever be able to drink after this vacation or EVER due to this illness. So, I am just asking what I should do about the seroquel. Should I wait and take it the next morning, I usually take it before goin to bed. It knocks me out.
Avatar n tn I would say any number of reasons contribute to bad behavior in our kids. I would find out what the root cause is for your son (add/adhd, sensory, etc.) if anything and work on solutions for that. Sandman has some good questions.
Avatar m tn For me it worked like a guide out of this messed up pill world that most of us lived in. God knows I loved my fix. Anyway, beyond all that, I quit taking 6 days ago but I had your help and I had some more help from Seroquel. Believe it or not I chilled by reading these posts and by taking 25mg of the Seroquel every 3 or so hours and 50mg before bed to sleep thru the night. Absolutely worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!! No WD symptoms whatsoever other than being a little groggy from the Seroquel.
142722 tn?1281533616 I am groggy also today because i took 100mcg of seroquel last night and it kicked my butt today but i wake in a good mood though - i called the dr and he sent off form a "calm me down drug" but sometimes those have the oppsite effect on me you know. I have three children - my son 15 was adopted, my daughter 12, and son 8months.
Avatar n tn Why are the withdrawal symptoms of seroquel the same as the withdrawal symptoms of heroin? I know that you shouldn't just stop taking it and I understand that it is a non-narcotic medication, but I still would like to know why the symptoms are the same? I am currently taking seroquel for anxiety.
Avatar f tn I was on lexapro and warned by my doctor that it is on the "schedule c" list for use during pregnancy. I believe that means it is possible for it to have negative effects on the pregnancy. I was also on hydroxizine and seroquel. I stopped taking mine over a month ago as we had decided to try for one more baby and I was afraid of the possible effects. I have 3 kids but wasn't on any of these meds before or during those pregnancies. Not only that but seroquel can prevent pregnancy.
Avatar f tn I suferred from gad and panic desorder. I'm on zoloft 175mg, clonopin 1mg 3 times a day, seroquel 100mg to go to sleep and 25 mg twice a day, however, I don't take the seroquel morning dose because it makes me too sleepy. I'm desperate trying to find out why I'm still having anxiety and the ton of meds are not working. I was on disability for two months and just went back to work. I've been constantly crying and being anxious. I don't know what to do.
Avatar n tn I just started taking the Seroquel starter pack. FIrst 50 mg then 100mg. I wake up ny legs and feet hurt and are very stiff. My back, hip and head hurt. I took it at 9pm and it is 1pm. I still am in a fog. Don't even know how I have managed to take care of my 3 kids. My house is pure mess and I can't find the energy to clean it. Is it worth it? Am I suppose to stick it out and it will get better. Give me a 10mg oxycodone and I am superwoman!
329165 tn?1515471990 I am now on 1200mg Valproate and took 25-75mg Seroquel but at some stage I felt really sleepy during the day and the Doctor stopped that, so now I was ordered to only take the Valproate. I still can not sleep at night. It is lights-out at 10pm for everyone, but I don't get tired at night. I wake up every morning at 7am to get kids ready and then I am busy and on my feet during the day, but I don't get tired enough at night to sleep a full night!
Avatar f tn also lexapro says it causes hair loss. i couldnt find anything about seroquel causing hair loss. seroquel is my main drug now, i take 300mg seroquel and 300mg seroquel xr at night. so i told my psy doctor and he said i could start tapering off my lithium, so it took me 6 months to get off of it. anyway i had a postive attuite when my hair first fell out in march this year. i was told it will grow back dont worry by the end of the year it will be back to normal.
584628 tn?1218598371 NOW, i am a size 10 or 12...and all the weight is in my stomach(with a little in my hips/butt). Im not pregnant...I exercise...I eat pretty healthy...but im confused as hell. has ANYONE had a similar situation with this drug(s)? any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated because im sick of wearin sweatpants!
2010625 tn?1329372056 s an anti psychotic i take it along with Seroquel xr 600mg at night and also Sertraline in morning 50mg , my only problem lately is the sertraline makes me hypo manic and i can't sleep that's why i'm taking the largactil 400mg at night . good luck with it hope you are well again soon .
574118 tn?1305135284 I have long been questioning why am i taking so much seroquel (150mg) and only 1mg apexidone (egyptian brand for risperidone) which made me try to reduce the first by all means but in vain, until i discovered that my 1mg of the 2nd equals 100 of the 1st. So by taking 150mg seroquel i am in fact taking 1.5mg of risperidone only. I was trying hard to reduce my seroquel by 50mg meaning trying to reduce my apexidone by 0.5mg which is nonsense.
Avatar f tn I literally have pitting edema in both my legs from the knee down. I had ran out of seroquel and took saphris in between and the swelling went away some but now I restarted the Seroquel and my ankles look like cankles...
Avatar f tn I find since I've been on seroquel/ lamictal that I haven't had a manic outbreak in over 2 years. I use to take seroquel alone & had several outbreaks one after another. For me the combination works!
1039200 tn?1314912008 Hi Your doctor is right and seroquel is a Godsend as you said. Had there been an efficient drug for this BP business, none will ever post here. Taking an AD will drive you manic while an AP suppresses your activities. Don't stop seroquel, it saved me from the mixed states I had and still does. I think one has to try hard to struggle or at least doesn't give up easily.
