574118 tn?1305135284 My doctor said, Seroquel "works as a tranquilizer" but "it is NOT a tranquilizer". I take 400 mg of Seroquel, I sleep a lot. My doctor said I can have one cup of cofee to help fight the fatique of Seroquel, but only one cup in the morning. Some days, I have some energy, but a lot of times I am just wiped out and exhausted.
Avatar n tn Let me assure you I never used horse tranquilizer to go to sleep but I will If I don't get better meds soon. I tried natural stuffs (herbal teas, relaxation, melatonin), I tried the OTC sleep aids and I've been prescribed seroquel (quetiapine), desyrel (trazodone) and recently imovane (zopiclone). NONE OF THE ABOVE WORK!!! (even after doubling or even tripling the doses) What's after imovane?
574118 tn?1305135284 s due to the AD (stablon) or the seroquel. I found out that all atypical antipsychotics do it. Here a paragraph from the web """ I have schizoaffective disorder. After having taken clozapine/Clozaril for two years, I started to have akathisia. Akathisia makes me feel like I can't sit still, I have to walk around, and I feel like I want to jump out of my skin. It is so bad that short of discontinuing clozapine I would have to be hospitalized. I only took about 300mg/day.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone. Hope everyone is staying the course. I need everyones opinion cuz somethings not right.. Today is day 3 no opiates and I dont feel like its day 3 off opiates( if you know what I mean.) I still have myself on the sedated side witht the seroquel (low dose only 50mg's) and take a klonazepam tree times a day for the last 3 days, but other than some rough RLS last night (for which I took another klonazepam 0.
990380 tn?1249584544 I had a pretty severe rapid cycle last weekend and ended up at the hospital, they gave me Lorazepam and i was given 21 more by my gp. Thing is i thought you only take it if you are climbing high not going low. My PSW said i should take one today because i am very low but if i took them everytime i was low im sure i would get addicted. Ive not long been diagnosed with BP and dont want to be a 'tranquilizer junkie' - my term - can i have some advice please?
Avatar f tn If you have read my posts I have repeadedly given credit to Seroquel for making my WD tolerable because of its sedative effect at low doses. I know very little about this drug. If I've influenced anyone to obtain this drug that is not my intention. I can tell you your head gets very foggy, and DO NOT think that you will be able to drive a car safely. Plan your WD time carefully,what ever your plan. I have told my kids that I was sick and wont be able to play taxi for them for approx a week.
Avatar f tn However, I did read an article published by the maker of Seroquel acknowledging withdrawal symptoms. If word comes out that Seroquel is physically addicting and causes horrible withdrawals, people probably wouldn't be eager to take it and sales of the drug could drop. Seroquel is huge right now, this website is covered in ads for Seroquel. As far as the insomnia, I took Seroquel before bed because of how sedating it was for me. After 2.
Avatar n tn Aside from remedies talked about in Scripture for anxiety, I will exercise to try to get endorphines going and I occasionally take a prescribed low dose tranquilizer and sometimes at night when I'm all wound up, I take what I was told was the natural version of the tranquilizer I have prescribed: valerian root.
Avatar m tn Any advice for a tranquilizer for extreme worry(fear) and anxiety that won't affect me while studying? And I can find it everywhere.
Avatar f tn ve only had one cat that went completely psychotic at the vets, and we gave her a tranquilizer pill. You could ask your vet about that. Why didn't they suggest that????? I think the tranquilizer will be much easier on your cat than the gas. Good luck!
406957 tn?1202996900 I get angry very easly, and I yell.....Since seeing this Doctor-once- He gave me the starter packet for Seroquel, 50mg,100mg,200mg,300mgs....told me to take at bedtime and to call him on the 5th day, to let him know which one I did ok on...well the only one I had a problem with was the 200-I didn't go to bed within an hour and I felt as it I was gonna pass out....anyways, so I take the 300 thinking that this is fine, I felt ok the next day, not drugged up....
Avatar f tn I was on lithium and seroquel. Worked wonders. Im only on seroquel now cuz im pennant and it.still works but not as.
Avatar m tn Is there a safe and effective tranquilizer to take for flight anxiety? I tried the generic brand of xanax (alprazelam) a few years ago and it had absolutely zero effect. Maybe I just didn't take enough but the prescription is over 5 years old now and I would be afraid to experiment. Is valium a better options?
Avatar f tn Seroquel has now worked for 3 nights of sleep. I take clonazapam and lamtrogine. What could I add as decrease 1 of these? Is tegretol a good choice? Long ago I took lithium, but ballooned up in weight. Suggestions to discuss w/my doctor?
Avatar m tn Does it really work? Because I have been given 10mg Diazepam and it hasn't helped that much with W/D's or stop the attacks. I have posted about this before and someone suggested that if I can't get Clonidine I should try to get Seroquel. I can't get into much detail on here, but I really need anyone who has taken Seroquel to PLEASE, post about how it made them feel, if it helped with W/D's? Did it let you fall asleep?
Avatar m tn I take 200 mg of seroquel to help me sleep if i cut it in half will it still help me fall asleep!! I only have 12 days left of seroquel and i can't see the doctor until the 8th of next month so i'm freaking out about not being able to sleep!! Please help!!
518117 tn?1429276273 I ran across something on the net about Seroquel. It was another forum that I got the info about Seroquel. On this forum someone was talking about there being a tort action lawsuit against the makers of Seroquel. That it is causing excessive weight gain, diabetes, very high blood pressure in people taking this antipsychotic. I am wanting to know further about these complications caused by Seroquel. My 28 year old son has been on this med for approximately 4 years now.
Avatar f tn I just started Seroquel. The first tab last night. I felt so trippy. It scared me and I made myself go to sleep just to avoid the experience I was having. I also heard it causes crazy weight gain. Is that true? Right now I feel nausea.
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.
563541 tn?1257877567 My sub doc gave me Seroquel. He said it was for bi-polar, but he gave it to me at 50mgs. for sleep and it really helped me sleep, just a bite out of one at night. He also said that it would linger or last through the day to help with the anxiety/depression. I don't think that has worked as I'm still a basket case. jk...
Avatar m tn If Seroquel is being prescribed as a sleep aid yes, within a psychiatrist's discretion. If its being used as a mood stabilizer then it would have to be taken every day though the timing could vary. If someone can't tolerate it at all as regards any sedation then other available options could be discussed with a psychiatrist.
