seroquel

Avatar n tn I have a borderline personality disorder, but I'm not bipolar (as far as I know) and I'm taking Seroquel (don't know why) and Lexapro (for anxiaty & depression). I've read Seroquel is for bipolar, maniac depression and schizofrenia but I'm not sure which of this three aplies in my case. I cut myself, have burned, starve, binge, make myself throw up, have anxiaty atacks and I am generally depressed.....
358304 tn?1409709492 im hoping the seroquel xr will help me sleep, b/c remeron no longer makes me sleepy nor helps with anxiety or appetite. My anxiety is very bad right now and I need sleep. SOOO sleep deprived. Hopefully this seroquel xr 50mg will help with insomnia, anxiety and appetite soon.
Avatar f tn Yeah my sleep problems started in highschool then I got put on remeron years later. Then off it and slept fine for another year then got back on it, then off and now Seroquel cause I refused remeron. I'd be interested in a sleep study though, as you said it might be a sleep disorder. The anxiety of being awake and worried about sleeping I think is what makes me feel I need to pee, so I get up multiple times a night too.
Avatar f tn i was diagnosed with depression and anxiety just over a year ago (although my friend thinks i may be bipolar). i am currently taking 80mg beta blockers, 30mg remeron and 100mg seroquel. they are all very sedating (although i hav problems sleeping also). i am in my final year of college and need to be alert but i find it impossible to get up in the mornings and concentrate on studying. i cut out the seroquel for 2 days and i was overcome with anxiety.
Avatar n tn im on very high dosages of EFFEXor XR, Seroquel, Remeron,klonnonpin. im waking up in pools of sweat throughtout the night of my always horrible sleep.
Avatar n tn I had NO side effects back then. My doc is thinking we will try serzone. Does serzone work similar to remeron? If remeron works will serzone likely work when all these others just make me worse? I'm so frustrated.
2010625 tn?1329372056 hi i take seroquel xr and normal seroquel for bipolar disorder. the seroquel xr is a slow release tablet so it works over the night and the day. so i take the seroquel xr 450mg at about 7.30pm then at about 9.30pm i take the normal seroquel 250mg. it helps with sleep too.
Avatar n tn Mine came right back after I stopped all the meds. Now I'm taking Remeron, and the drive seems less urgent, but it still works, thankfully. Remeron and Wellbutrin are supposed to have the fewest sexual side effects, but Remeron increases appetite ... a lot. That's fine for me, but not fine for most people.
Avatar f tn I thought I remember a while back someone posted that they were doing OK on Lamictal but when the doc increased the dosage, the person started having anxiety attacks. Is that true? I recently went up to 200mg/day and I've started having anxiety and now wondering if I should ask the doc to decrease the dosage. He also discontinued the Seroquel but now I'm having major depressive episodes.
3189527 tn?1346667221 I went on Zoloft, Seroquel and Remeron back in January. I started feeling much better so I stopped taking the Zoloft and Seroquel about 2 months ago. Now I am going through the same nightmare.
5764859 tn?1400881756 Increasing remeron from 15mg to 30mg is less effective for insomnia, which I have done on my own since I thought by doing so would help me sleep since the 15mg isn't, well turns out the 30mg isn't even giving me a yawn....cranked. What can I ask my Dr to help me sleep without it being something addicting which I don't want and he wouldn't consider but Im desperate here, I need to sleep.
202665 tn?1248806733 so i've gained about 30 pounds ion the last 2-3 months and i've not changed my diet. I'n trying to figure out what's going on. I am taking lamictal, cymbalta, lithium - which i have been taking for about two years. i'm also taking seroquel to help sleep as ambien didn't work. recently found that i had sleep apnea and that may have been causing my sleep loss so am now using a cpap.
Avatar f tn Hi, so im currently taking seroquel 100mg, 30mg remeron and beta blockers. I have been having severe motivational problems...i have no motivation to do anything. i have exams coming up and im worrying. most days i will sit around or stay in bed late knowing that i have so much to do, but i cant bring myself to do anything,,this causes me a great deal of anxiety and i get a bit panicked. Im worried that im becoming depressed again, or maby its just my meds anyone else have similar problems?
Avatar n tn Are there any long term effects of Remeron? Can I take Remeron while using the CPAP machine? Are there any less intense prescriptions or over-the-counter mdications that might offer me some benefit? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn I AM TAKING SEROQUEL, REMERON, KLONOPIN AND HAVE GAINED 30 POUNDS SINCE APRIL,. I AM WALKING A LITTLE BUT CANNOT LOOSE WEIGHT. WHAT DO I DO TO LOOSE WEIGHT.
607502 tn?1288247540 I was switched from Seroquel to Remeron a few years ago by a competent psychiatrist who didn't know me well. The Remeron caused me tremendous weight gain - just to be honest with you. About 40lbs. which was a lot for me -I'm small. But I had been suffering a severe agitated depression and the Remeron calmed me down immediately. It really did it's stuff, so I have that to say about it. I went off it after I had a manic episode and returned to the Seroquel.
Avatar m tn Some of the one I am familiar with are Abilify, Geodon, Depakote, Lamictal, Lithium, Remeron, Aoloft, Prozac, and many many more. You may want to post and ask for a website link to get more info. I know one site www. NAMI.org is very good and has links. I think it boils down to good old fashion research. Usually it's a combination of 2 or 3 meds to treat the different symtoms of Bipolar. Most people are not on just one med.
Avatar f tn Hi, well i take 100mg seroquel, 30mg remeron and 80mg beta blockers. i know EXACTLY how you feel!! no energy, lathargic, emotionally and physically drained. and i have a slight addiction to energy drinks! I drink quite a bit of red bull. at this stage i actually feel like i need it to function. i think we might be caught up in a viscious circle though. if you drink an energy drink..it will give u energy (Duh!
Avatar f tn I started to develop insomnia and sleep anxiety. Tried Remeron (sp?) at first, work great but made me want to eat all the time. I quit that job and things did get a little better, but I could never get my normal sleep patterns back. I either cant go to sleep, cant fall into REM sleep or wake up early. To top this off, I am a very light sleeper and have to use earplugs and white noise in order to fall asleep. My doc gave me Seroquel and it works great, have been on it for about 7-8 years.
459981 tn?1212193981 It is not known if Seroquel is found in breast milk, so therefore it is not recommended to breastfeed while taking this medication. I think I'd ask for alternatives and do some research about them, most reading the leaflets... My antidepressant is Remeron. I don't know if that works for breastfeeding (since that wasn't and won't be an issue in the future either I fear) so you can read on that. I have been very stabile (except some cleaning bouts in the middle of the night.
