Common Questions and Answers about Seroquel overdose symptoms

seroquel

Avatar f tn This dose is working for me and is not an overdose. My moods have been BAD BAD BAD as of late, so in addition to the seroquel being increased, so has my lithium.
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.
Avatar f tn Luckily for you, the overdose amount for seroquel is much higher than you took. I would suggest that you contact your doctor. He won't be happy with you taking more than prescribed but may increase your amount or try something else.
Avatar f tn Hmmm... Has she said why you're a big risk for OD on mood stabilizers? Is it something to do with your metabolism or she thinks you're suicidal? As it is, it depends on the person. If you've been on them before and didn't find them helpful, it's possible it doesn't work for you. However, if you ended them before they had a chance to get to a therapeutic level, it could be a dosage issue. Only you know how they affected you.
Avatar m tn I took 40 25mg seroquel, 20+ 5mg Valium and 14 150mg exeflor xr with lemonade. I woke. Up this morning at 5:30am. Why did it not work?
Avatar n tn how much seroquel, xanax, and alcohol causes an overdose. im qworried about my sister, she ha been prescribed xanax for 8 years now at 2mg a day, so her tolerance is well established. she is also an alcoholic. thankfully, she knows not to combine xanax while drinking, but what about the addition of seroquel? could she OD from the pill combination alone? would then the addition of alcohol just pretty much seal her fate?
Avatar m tn I would want to know from the members of this forum about how many people are using Seroquel only as a sleeping aid in doses of 25 mg and 50 mg.All suggestions and answers are welcome.
Avatar f tn Ringing ears. Vision is unnaturally blurry. Chest and stomach symptoms worsen when laying down, head symptoms worsen when standing up. Symptoms quickly come and go except for vision, coldness, nausea and burning, which are constant. Zomig tasted so bad as it eventually dripped my neck that I hacked a few times and a little blood came up. I have asthma, adhd, insommnia and depression. Two months ago I experienced an overdose on excedrin, clonidine and benadryl and recovered.
Avatar n tn PLEASE don't give your dogs anything at all like this before checking with your vet!
871560 tn?1240023175 s still out as to whether it was caused by just the alcohol/benzo withdrawal, overdose quantities of seroquel, or the seroquel simply didn't allow my brain chemistry to re-normalize on its own, and it was brought on by physical activity after being down for a week. seroquel is an antipsychotic not a sedative, and it can be contraindicated in some individuals.
Avatar f tn ve been buying Valium illegally (taking up to 20 MG per day, in addition to my Klonopin), buying Seroquel illegally (for sleep, even though my doctor has prescribed 3 MGs of Lunesta nightly for sleep; right now I'm taking 100 MGs of Seroquel and 3 MGs of Lunesta every night), drinking more (God knows how much), smoking more (I've been blowing through about a quarter of Marijuana per week)... I don't know what to do... I didn't know getting off of Klonopin would be this hard...
696149 tn?1314320959 s like I stop breathing or something, and then I take a big breath and instantly awake. OK, this happened yesterday. I was also taking Seroquel....200 to 300mg a night for sleeping. So I thought it was the Seroquel doing this because 3 hours had gone by from taking the Suboxone. The thing is, my breathing problems slowly got worse instead of better and didn't start to subside until around 8:30AM. So I took 8mg I believe last night. The last time I took a dose of Sub was after 1AM.
Avatar f tn Hi I posted on here before and got great answers so I'm back again. I've had ADHD since 14 but only took meds for a few year before I decided to try things on my own. Now at 26 I'm working full time, going school and being a single parent. Needing help to focus and with depression I went to see a pyschologist( I have medi-cal so theres only one available) He put me on 10mg Adderall three times a day ( he said 4 but I made the decision to only do three).
Avatar m tn I have been diagnosed with bipolar and have been prescribed Seroquel and Lexapro. They both have worked and have brought my symptoms under control, but with a lot of side effects. I have an incredible hunger for sweets every day and have had much weight gain. I am too sluggish and tired to work out at the gym or even walk around the block. This has aggravated by sleep apnea which I was recently diagnosed with.
Avatar n tn After my son died 2 years ago my doctor added Seroquel to add to my antidepressants sertraline and imipramine. . I never took Seraquel during the day because it put me to sleep while I was driving and I drove off the road. Another time I fell asleep sitting up while my son's doctor was talking to me. Mortifying. It did help me sleep with no nightmares and I got up feeling great. It is very expensive. First, Is Seraquel addicting? I started taking it only at night.
Avatar m tn If you are having anymore symptoms please tell your Doctor. I was on Seroquel 300XR for 6 months and I stopped cold turkey, because I gained like 40 pounds, I was moody. and slept till 2pm in the afternoon. I had chills, ticks, nausea, IBS, migraines, nightmares that made me think I was dead. I was only being treated for PDS and started getting symptoms of a schizophrenic.
Avatar n tn , Symptom onset is usually rapid, often occurring within minutes after self-poisoning or a change in medication. Serotonin syndrome encompasses a wide range of clinical findings. Mild symptoms may only consist of tachycardia, shivering, diaphoresis (sweating), mydriasis (dilated pupils), myoclonus (intermittent tremor or twitching), as well as overresponsive reflexes.
605458 tn?1539228808 I should add that my depressive symptoms with the rapid cycling have gotten pretty serious. I just was wondering if Seroquel XR would help with that part of the BP 1, as well.
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 new psychiatrist switched me to Seroquel 100mg which I started taking on March 20, 2009. My question is can Seroquel help me on my Klonopin withdrawal? There were nights I can't sleep. I read an article that Antipsychotics should be avoided may aggravate benzodiazepine withdrawal. Please read: http://www.bcnc.org.uk/drugs.html. I am scared, please help.
Avatar f tn They said it was a drug interaction to the single dose of tesselon perle I had been given early the day due to bronchitus, Monday symptoms persisted doctor said it was possibly from the low dose 50mg once daily seroquel I had been on, however nothing seems to add up and Google keeps suggesting ms. So I'm curious if others think my symptoms suggest the same. If so how do I get my doctors to believe me?
736475 tn?1281259327 does anyone have info about long term use of seroquel and how it affects you? my hubby tried to stop taking it and got all messed up. they are 50mg xr. thanks.
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 Did he titrate down on seroquel? My son took that medication at a low dose for about 2 months. Will say he had no issue when coming off of it. The question perhaps is if your husband is having a resurgence of mental health issues even including a brief bit of psychosis related to his ptsd? Did he begin any therapy for ptsd? My son had psychosis with his depression for a period of about 5 months.
Avatar n tn All his ticks, tremors and limb control problems disapeared once the seroquel had been out of his system, oh and all the schizophrenic symptoms are now also gone. It probably sounds like i'm anti seroquel, i'm not anti anything really, it's just too many people are taking these type of drugs to help them sleep, and they are clueless to what could and can happen because its being perscribed 'off label' and not for its indended and approved usage.
