Avatar f tn re reverting to barbaric times, in which torture is a way of life, whether it be prisons in a privatized system, elderly in nursing homes, etc... those people who are not in the mainstream of life are subject to so much degradation, it's unreal and without someone to look out for their well being, there's no telling what would happen to them. "I am for privization as long as it has oversite.
458072 tn?1291415186 Something must be done to make sure enough funds are going to make more rooms for our prisons. For one thing, they can stop housing kids (teenagers) in adult prisons. It ruins them. They need to rehabilitate the ones they can and put away for life child sex offenders. We must do more to protect our children. They depend on us.
Avatar m tn As private prisons become the norm in the United States, it's time society takes a look at the institution and asks, "Are prisons really being used as rehabilitation/deterrence for crime, or have private interests started attaching price tags to lawbreakers’ heads and exploited their incarceration for profit?

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.
1530342 tn?1405016490 html LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Thousands of inmates in up to eight California prisons have taken part in a 9-day-old hunger strike, demanding an end to what they call inhumane conditions, prison officials and an inmate advocacy group said on Tuesday. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation was counting 1,186 inmates in four prisons as participating in the hunger strike as of Tuesday, down from more than 4,200 inmates at eight prisons on September 29.
Avatar f tn California, which has a long history of forced sterilization, banned the procedure in state prisons in 1979. Because of the state’s grim history, a number of laws were put in place including that state-funded tubal ligations (having one's fallopian tubes tied) be approved by a medical review committee and that inmates must give consent. Because of this, it would be illegal to pressure a female inmate to agree to the procedure while she is going through labor or childbirth.

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.

Avatar m tn t the US have more prisons than any other country in the world Prisoners work for their stay and money is made as in any business and Prisons are big business since it is such a high risk living condition for being infected as it must be and the prisoners when released infecting others seems to reason a good study group why not especially with trials of new drugs what better place than a prison in a controlled environment Especially with death row convicts they could be used for medical stud
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.
Avatar m tn standing outside barefoot in the grass for 30 min has helped reduce symptoms tremendously read something about earthing thought i'd give it a try
518117 tn?1429276273 Hello, I saw your post and wanted to offer a comment. I have not looked into lawsuits in regards to seroquel, so I can't offer anything in that effect. However, I am a nurse with definate opinions when it comes to lawsuits. 1) There are so many people out there now days looking for a handout for just about anything and unfortunately the lawyers who try to help them.
Avatar n tn Secondly even in transfering to another medication you will get some withdrawal symptoms as I did in the past when transfering from Seroquel to Risperdal which were fatigue and minor flu like withdrawal symptoms which pased in time and were not a problem. Follow your psychiatrist's titration schedule and ask them about available options.
Avatar m tn My brother takes Seroquel in the PM and says it knocks him out. One of my problems is sleep. Can Seroquel be used on an , as needed, basis.
563541 tn?1257877567 i was in same boat....doc sent me home with script for seroquel....i took it in hospital, didn't help me sleep one bit....but also, after reading up more on it, didn't like what was said about the drug....so i never got the script filled after getting home and i don't regret it....yes, i still have problems sleeping, but the seroquel didn't help me with that issue anyway, so why take it? i'm not sure about helping with depression, etc.

Avatar f tn s for approx 30years) takes seroquel with no problems. In fact, he has noticed a decrease in his nightmares and odd hallucinations. so if your doctor has recommended it, it may be worth a try. They should normally suggest starting with a small dose, so you can see how you go. You can always run it past your neurologist too if you are still unsure.
