quetiapine and pregnancy

s got 2 docs (the GP treating the thyroid, and the mental health team prescribing the Quetiapine), but they don't seem to be communicating at all. Does anyone have any ideas? The symptoms just don't seem to make sense, and she's getting really scared. Thanks a lot!

I did speak to my Dr about the weight gain and the side effects and she suggested I take 300mg of Quetiapine at night along with the Zeldox and Clonazapam to sleep, but it really didnt seem to work. I also wonder whether taking both Quetiapine and Zeldox together is a good idea?

I'm in the Uk and currently taking Quetiapine, Depakote and Lamotrigine. The Quetiapine for me was prescribed for rage and agitation, I don't feel any anti depressant properties from it, but it has saved my life. Lamotrigine was prescribed 7 weeks ago and I feel a lot better, I am doing things that I didn't think I'd ever feel I could do again. Nobody has ever specified what type of Bp I have, I have symptoms from across the spectrum, I have mixed episodes.

Has any one reduced and successfully stopped taking quetiapine? were there any horrible withdrawal symptoms or return of symptoms? I am feeling scared I must say.

I was on lithium and seroquel. Worked wonders. Im only on seroquel now cuz im pennant and it.still works but not as.

I am currently taking Lamotrigine, Prazosin, and Quetiapine. I have also been diagnosed with H. Pylori, I was wondering if I could take Prevacid with these other medications? I have tried everything else and this would be a last resort.

I am Bipolar and was taking quetiapine (seroquel) for the last few years on and off. I have been in and out of hospital a few times over the last 10 years and fought like mad to convince doctors and family that there was nothing wrong with me but every three or so years I seem to slip into a worrying state. I have been with my partner for just over 2 years and he knows i am bipolar but has not really witnessed me at my worst.

Will I lose the weight I have put on whilst on citalopram and quetiapine once I stop taking these medicines?

I am currently on 200mg Quetiapine and 30mg Cipralex in the morning. 100mg Quetiapine at noon, and 300mg Quetiapine at night, along with 50mg Clonazapam. I tried taking Zeldox, as I gained a lot of weight from the Quetiapine, but the Dr. made it an add on and kept me on the Quetiapine as well. I had very bad side effects, and got off the Zeldox immediately. I told my doctor about it, and she changed the Zeldox, which was 80mg daily to Abilify, which I take 10mg in the morning and 10mg at noon.

50 every other day for about 4 months, my panic got so far worse than before, so i wen to see a neurologist, he put me straight away on valdoxan and quetiapine 25mg, took only valdoxan for 2 weeks i had'nt been able to have a good night sleep, my doc said to take half a quetiapine at bed time but also gave me zolpidem, my ansiety is great that none of these make sleep well, my question is: are this the withdrawal symptoms of the clonopil and how long will i have to put up with them?

My sleep HR goes into the 50s and up and about is under 100, perhaps in the 70s if sitting and typing, like now. A resting HR over 100 should be treated, I understand.

What is the lethal dose of aripiprazole, quetiapine and lamotrigine? Mix of them.

I recently switched over from Quetiapine to Zeldox, as I had gained 30lbs in 2 mths with the Quetiapine, and this was affecting my self confidence, as well as not being able to fit into my jeans. I studied up on Zeldox, and it was promoted to give you the benefits of Quetiapine, but with minimal weight gain, so after discussing it with my Dr., I thought I would give it a try. The first month, I could not sleep.

michelle here im 34 and i am a person with phycological probs im on quitapine and its making me put on weight as well as the wrong foods i weigh 91 ks and i want to get down to 80 i waswondering if theres a way as well of my meds that i can still loose weight can anyone can help me

I was prescribed tramadol for pain do to an injury and I take citalopram and quetiapine for depression. I also have emphysema and use advair.

Hey I am on them I take 100 mg at nite for my sleeping...

I have been on Quetiapine for 3 yrs and have had the same problem. It doesn't matter what the temperture is I just break out in a sweat.. I'm still not used to it. I've tried getting my pdoc to take me off of it but he feels that it is working for me. So I just tolerate it.

It's a Category C drug, meaning that it's either not safe or there hasn't been enough research to deem it safe in pregnancy and lactation. I'll attach some info. from my Drug Guide. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUETIAPINE (kwet-eye-a-peen) Seroquel CLASSIFICATION(S): Ther.

yes it was a therapist who prescribed me quetiapine he said i should have counseling and do some sort of theripy but they havnt been in contact with me since april and i feel as im gettin older i need to sort this once and for all....

recommended) and am still taking the same amount of Cipralex. I had to be weaned off the Quetiapine, and I am still going through some of the side effects of changing meds. the most being difficulty sleeping, which is frustrating, but I can assure anyone who is considering changing over, that yes, in my case I lost 4lbs in one week. It has now been almost 4 wks and I am returning to the size I was.

I have been on Quetiapine and it has been working except for the fact that I have gained 30lbs, and family and friends have noticed and nicely pointed it out, but personally it doesnt help my self esteem, as I have always been thin. I tried Zeldox and it made me so hyper I couldnt funtion, as well as not being able to sleep or hold down food, so I stopped it.

last year the baby i was 33wks preg with was stillborn, i called him marcus after that i fell into deep depression understanably i think, then was diagnosed with bpd, and put on quetiapine and sertraline, i have been trying to get preg since sept 2010 but nothing has happened, when i got preg with marcus it only took 2 months and i wasn't on any drugs of any kind, now i'm wondering if the drugs i am on now are affecting my fertility?

It was fun for the first week and a half now 3 weeks in and off the AD meds I am still hypo but am having the most bizzare experiences with mood change, I have been put on seroquel 25mg today as I saw the doc this morning and I was fine feeling happy and still energised, a few hours later I became really confused, started making mistakes and felt really panicked and overwhelmed and really scared, I called my husband and he came and took me straight to the docs, it was like I was having a panic

ve been put in in-patient care twice (for a total of 12 months), Intensive care once, and hospitalized countless times, all for suicide attempts, strange behaviour and self-harm. I was put on quetiapine, which sort of helped, it toned things down a little and helped me sleep, but didn't do much. I discharged myself from the first hospital since I wasn't sectioned, but overdosed on on 42 of my quetiapine three weeks later.

I have bipolar and I've been on antipsychotics (quetiapine) for 5 years and I'm 5 weeks pregnant. I've tried to stop taking them previously and I can't sleep at all and my moods and emotions goes pretty crazy which also affects my relationship very negatively. I have spoken to my doctor but he didn't really help me much. I really don't want the pills to hurt my baby. Does anyone have any experience or advise regarding this please?
