Seroquel metabolism

Common Questions and Answers about Seroquel metabolism

seroquel

Avatar n tn zyprexa, risperdal, and seroquel. These medications did not cause me to overeat but, I believe that these drugs caused my metabolism to slow down and that is what caused the weight gain. I have found that when I stopped taking these meds that it took 8 to 10 months before I was able to see significant weight loss (and for my metabolism to readjust itself. I have always had a very healthy diet and get plenty of exercise even while on those antipsychotic drugs.
1134609 tn?1269272200 My doc and I have decided to start toss regular Seroquel into the mix a few times a day. The XR version didn't work very well for me, but the standard stuff does seem to chill me out and increase my mood. However, I am worried about the weight gain, but I read a lot of conflicting reports. I know that it increases appetite, but that's something that I can control. I read a study where they placed one group on Seroquel, along with a good exercise and diet program.
Avatar f tn Has anyone in here experienced an extreme amount of weight gain when on Seroquel XR? I was overweight before but it seemed like I really can't keep a hold on my weight. It just keeps climbing. Help!!
Avatar n tn I have been on Seroquel for over 2 years and it really has been my bestfriend. I have just added Latuda to the mix and take them both at night with a whopping 300 calorie snack. That is because of the Latuda. Have to take that stuff with food. I was wondering about asking my doctor to add a little topomax to my diet. I know that it's a weight loss pill in addition to other things, I gained quite a lot of weight recently due to quitting smoking and my metabolism has COMPLETELY stopped!!

447130 tn?1225470866 I was on Seroquel 300mg a night for sleep. I gained 30 pounds in 3 months.I stopped the Seroquel 2 weeks ago. I did get hungry at night and sometimes had a snack but I hired a personal trainer and have been working 4 days a week for a straight hour of cardio style weight lifting (my heart rate maintains at 165 the whole hour) plus I have to do an hour of cardio everyday on top of the training. I have done this for 6 weeks now and have lost 2 pounds.
Avatar m tn When i was in 7th grade, because of extreme behavioral issues, i was put on Seroquel XR for my newly diagnosed Bipolar disorder at the time. It's been approximately 5 years now since i've started taking it, and i've realized a few things: i gained 80 pounds and it was nearly impossible to lose any of it, even going from a diet of 2-3 packs of cookies a night and no exercise, to rarely small somewhat healthy snacks and exercising occasionally over the course of those 5 years.
766412 tn?1234893283 I get the sleep with the Seroquel that I was missing.,no longer watching the late news till I fell asleep. Seroquel is great for anxiety and I think Clonidine has helped that also. I have been diagnosed a manic depressive since age 17. I was a senior in high school when I flipped out. I lost a lot of friends after /during the mania that lasted several months. I felt really good and really started to talk, talking way too much. I thought anything was possible.
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar n tn has anyone on abilify developed eye twitching and what did you do. also has anyone developed hight blood sugars from seroquel and what did you do about it. i've been on this combo for 2 months and felt great---------then the side effects happened. i was switched to saphris to replace the abilify-------------anyone have info on this drug-----------------and lunstra and trazodone to replace the seroquel for sleep i don't feel well. i feel like i have a stomach flu.
Avatar m tn topamax was what I was prescribed with zombie like results.
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!
Avatar m tn I still have some of the weight gain from when I was on seroquel because my metabolism has slowed down and the lack of exercise I did while on it took a told on my muscles and I lost a lot of muscle strength, and so far have been to tired to really try to work out and get back into shape. Sometimes it seems to be a vicious cycle. Its quite possible that the things you are feeling right now aren't because of withdrawal, but just because you don't have that medication support you had.
1203197 tn?1265555829 that is why I am taking trazadone to get me off the seroquel. I no longer take the seroquel. my appetite is out of control and I am getting up in the middle of the night eating sometimes with no recoloection that I did so. my biggest concern is that I do not get the benefit of taking cymbalta because what I take at night (trazadone) saps my strength energy and focus through out the day.
Avatar n tn [both drugs are calcineurin inhibitors] * omeprazole (Losec, Prilosec) * oxycodone (Oxycodone is metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system, specifically CYP3A4, of which the bergamottin flavonoid is a strong inhibitor) * hydrocodone (The hepatic cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP2D6 converts it into hydromorphone, a more potent opioid.) * dihydrocodeine * quetiapine (Seroquel, Ketipinor) * methadone -- Inhibits the metabolism of methadone and raises serum levels.
Avatar m tn Does anyone know if having your Gallbladder removed slows down your metabolism? or does it speed it up? What have you experienced?
Avatar f tn If you really want to kick-start your metabolism, you may also try dividing your meals up into smaller portions that you eat more often throughout the day. Every time you eat, it helps your metabolism rise, so as strange as it may sound, eating frequently can help you lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Take care!
1203175 tn?1265553335 Anyone know how to kick start your metabolism so you start losing pounds, other than weight loss medications? Will not use those.
1397290 tn?1357777871 Calorie-intake should be according to your physical activity. 2800-3000 is quite a lot, which if you don't gain of it, you should perhaps seek professional aid.
