seroquel knocks me out

what is the base dose for seroquel to treat bi polar disorder. 50 mg knocks me out.

Seroquel is messed up and makes you out of it. I took it at night and knocks you out. It also may me very mean the next day. Be careful with that one. I take Zoloft with Buspirone for my bi polar and panic disorder and that works well.

I take all my Seroquel at night 400 mg. It knocks me out at night, but I still have daytime drowsiness.

I came to this site trying to find information about how long it would take to get over the w/d symptoms and this site has been very helpful compared to the other dozen or so I researched. I've been taking 20 to 25 5 mg percocets for the last 3 years (and anything else in the area of pail relief) I'm embarrased to say it but I should also say that most of those pills were ingested via my nose. Yep, that's right....pretty disgusting I know but that's the situation.

Personally, I have not heard of it being used for that as there are much more effective medications out there for anxiety. Also Seroquel can actually cause anxiety and panic attacks! I hope that your doctor asked you many more questions to determine if you had bipolar disorder than just about racing thoughts. Bipolar disorder cannot and should not be diagnosed only on the basis of that.

You and I are in the same boat my friend. Weaned off Effexor and started 150 mg of seroquel at bedtime. It knocks me out in about two hours and makes me feel "stoned" until about 2-3PM. Then I get amped foe the evening, but have a real difficult time concentrating. It is also making me extremely irritable with my family. Can't stand loud noises initiated by others. Not liking it at all.

, and was finally was able to work up to 300mg (and later transitioned to 400mg of the XR), but it was a slow process for me. I have only taken my Seroquel at night, because it would make me incredibly drowsy for the entire day if I took any in the AM. I also take Adderall XR for my ADHD (which is a stimulant) and it did not help with making me less drowsy. Talk with her doctor, and give it time. I was told that it usually takes a couple of weeks for the body to adjust.

How can I safely-effectively wean myself off of Seroquel especially and at a later date topomax. I have put on 25 lbs. over 10 years and the Seroquel knocks me out at night and I feel groggy the next morning. 200 mg at night. I've lowered it to 100 mg each night this past week. I hope to do this for one month and see how it goes. My husband and I both dispute the bi-polar diagnosis of 10 years ago; not out of denial (as we are both very educated) but because of the symptoms.

htm I am bp2 and take a small Seruquel dose at night to help me sleep mainly. It sure helps, knocks me right out so take care with when you take this one. It's supposed to ba taken at night and the sleep effect is why.

i hear ya with the sleeping problems, i was having major toruble sleeping so my doc added lunesta to the mix which i only take if absolutely necessary but it knocks me out like wow!

Smiley, If you have not done so yet you could try using a natural sleep aid called Melatonin, in the vitamin section of a store. The days that I need to get some sleep, it normally knocks me out for a good 7 hours.

I have been on Zoloft for many years, and I dont drink but on social occasions. I have had a drinks while taking zoloft and never had any problems. I am in the health care field and understand the importance of taking care of your body. 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.

We increased the Lamictal a few days ago and that is probably a big part of it. She also gave me Seroquel to take as needed for sleep, but I don't want to take it if I don't have to. It knocks me out, but sometimes it disrupts my sleep cycle and it makes me very groggy the next day. I also take Neurontin, so I am thinking about saving a half of my doses of that to take at night. I also take Melatonin, which works well.

TRY THE SEROQUEL!!!! Put me right out!!! Seriously, this med works @ the correct dose. Lunesta did nothing for me! I have a high benzo tolerance and opiate tolernace and 25mg put me out like a baby @ ffirst 4 me. Almost feels like anesthesia 4 me as I felt paralyzed and then went out like light. Follow ur dr's instructions.

m now on Trazodone, 50mg, very low dose, and it knocks me out in about an hour and I sleep fine most nights. I know we can't suggest/recommend any meds, but you can mention it to your DR and see what they have to say about it. Also, look up other sleep meds on the net and bring the list next time you have an appt with your DR so you can discuss your options. I wish you well. I know it's not fun being up all night.

I am trying to distracted myself from it, but it is hard! I just took my night time meds I hope it just knocks me out and I wake up feeling better in the morning. I don't know how this happened it just came out of no where, no trigger I just all of a sudden really felt like crying. I feel like I don't want to live like this and can't. I feel like I would rather die. It feels so horrible.

If I have(or am having) a manic episode, I take 200-300mg and when I wake up, because it usually knocks me out, I am more under conrol. I might have to take it for a day or two, but that way works for me. Also, my doctor prescribes it that way.

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".

m on Celexa and Wellbutrin, what my Doc and I decided to do is for me to take Celexa at night (since it knocks me out), and then during the day I take Wellbutrin, which gives me a bit of energy. Works for me, although Celexa has put weight on me also, as your meds did you, but really, not too much weight (maybe 20 lbs---but I was underweight to begin with). BTW, Celexa & Wellbutrin are both anti-depressants because I suffer from recurring major depressions (but no anxiety as of yet).

I got a new psychiatrist who will actually LISTEN to me. She put me on prozac, ativan for severe anxiety (the seroquel supposedly was supposed to help with that, as well, but it never did. And in fact, because it made me so sick, it worsened my anxiety.) and I was diagnosed with ADHD which makes a ton of sense to me. It has made my life so much more enjoyable, I'm energetic, I exercise, and I'm not a complete anxious mess all day long.

Its side effect is motion sickness. The Seroquel knocks me out before i feel the effects. Its hard to change my meds because the Lithium will make me sick if it doesn't like whatever I'm taking with it. As of now during the school week. i stay up till 1 am (taking my meds at mid night) then wake up at 6am then nap 4-8pm. And then repeat. When i have no school i stay up all night and sleep all day. This *****.

t tolerate taking it except at bedtime because it totally knocks me out. Obviously, exactly the opposite of what you experience. As far as worrying about the rash (Stevens Johnson Syndrome) from the lamictal, it's very rare and from what I've read easily detected. I think I've been on about every combination of medication there is and I understand your frustration. I think many p. docs think the more medication you're on the better!

t take those because they are not safe, I went off the litmital and he told me to wean myself off the neurtion. He gave me a med seroquel and i hate this med because he knocks me out but it worked for me when I was pregnant last time two years ago. I haven't started yet, I got so many things going on in my life and it is driving me insane. So with so many things going on, I am having a hard time. I am taking the neurtion and trying to get off of it but having a hard time.

As I got better, the dosage of Seroquel was decreased and I am now on 200mg and doing well. Seroquel worked wonders for me and I hope it helps you as well.

I take Seroquel for Bipolar 1. Do you have Bipolar 1 or 2? Welbutrin works good for me when I am depressed. Seroquel knocks me out at night so that I don't get manic and need hospitalization. It's worked for 5 years, but it causes daytime drowsiness and I can't really work or drive much anymore. When I was on depakote I could hold down 3 jobs and go to college, but it started affecting my liver. Lithium was awful for me, but some people do really well on it.

seroquel will knock u flat out..i think even 25 mgs will knock u flat out for 12 hours straight..he did not give this to u because he thought u were crazy! a side effect is drowsiness/and it is for real! i may woulda tried sumpin milder like ambien or lunesta first...even valerian root/elavil/sumpin not so potent..if it is not time released u can break it up into small pieces..but it should definitely work for sleep..

Hey girl!! Can you pop a Maxalt before the test? If you are like me with having BP nothing knocks you out, so the Maxalt will not make you sleepy. Or what about Topamax? There are other dissolvables out there too. I am surprised depakote is not helping, because it is used for migraine treatment. Start that darn magnesium or I am going to find you and kick your behind!!
