seroquel

Avatar n tn i took tylenol pm last night and just wanted to know how long it takes until the diphenhydramine gets out of your system because this is one of the things tested for in my urine, even though it is rediculous because I had a headache and needed it.
Avatar m tn Is it safe to take 3 tablets of diphenhydramine (75 mg) if 2 tablets (50 mg) doesn't help my insomnia?
Avatar f tn i went into a 3 day tail spin of intense anxiety, racing thoughts, and obsessive thinking about the anxiety and fear of it coming back. i could literally not think of anything else. on top of that hell, i couldn't sleep through the night. 50mg of diphenhydramine would knock me out. but i would wake up 1-3 hours later. the first 2 nights this happened, i was able to fall back asleep. but the following nights, i wasn't able to fall back asleep.
3145974 tn?1343086198 , 50 or 100 mg of Seroquel PLUS 0.5 mg of lorazepam, or perhaps 50 mg diphenhydramine PLUS 0.5 or 1.0 mg of lorazepam, in an attempt to help me fall asleep in a largely nonaddictive way, but the touch of lorazepam benzo takes the edge off or prevent that paradoxical agitated, panicky feeling that is just driving me off the edge? THANKS a lot for your responses.
Avatar m tn I have a bottle of Unisom and the ingredient states it contains Diphenhydramine (An Antihistamine) not Doxylamine.
Avatar f tn Tylenol PM is just acetemenophen and diphenhydramine (trade name Benedryl). I do not have access to a copy of the PDR (unless it is available online) but someone who does could check and see if there are any warnings on those two chemicals regarding PVCs. Small trivia note: diphenhydramine was approved for OTC sleep aid BEFORE it was approved for allergy relief OTC. Years ago I was having a problem with a rash and didn't have medical insurance. A friend at Church was a pharmacist.
663901 tn?1232649671 Yes when I was on Seroquel I had to get an eye exam each year due to the extremely rare risk of cataracts but I saw an opthamologist anyway so it was no big deal. That is statisically rare and no reason to be concerned about Seroquel and a check up as I suggested is the best form of follow up. Seroquel is safe in this regard. In this case (you know I am always factual) your pharmacist was overstating the risk but a follow up visit is generally a good idea.
Avatar f tn Since seroquel can cause high BG you sure your diabetic and not as a result of seroquel raising your BG? Go to Google and put seroquel into the serch field.
624839 tn?1221807899 It could also cause you to have difficulty in coordinating movements, and may lead to excessive sleepiness and stupor, and respiratory depression. If the Fentora is not controlling your pain adequately, the dose may need to be increased. But I don't think it's a good idea to mix it with Diphenhydramine.
Avatar f tn Sinusitis, chronic bronchitis then COPD. All because doctors refused to treat the sinusitis. Because of this I can't afford the meds that are the staple of COPD treatment. But it did lead me into an alternative that works better and with less side effects. Benadryl works on the same principle as does ipratropium but I have never been told to use it. I can't tolerate Advair (causes angina) nor Albuterol (causes worse congestion and coughing).
1808884 tn?1324345703 I have to try one other thing someone posted to me. I feel like I am wasting my money!!! I take diphenhydramine, sea sick pills. I just want to be able to stop my head from being so awake!!! I seriously think I am worse than most!
Avatar f tn My first pregnancy i did bot use it and my daughter is very smart. I was wondering if any of you have used seroquel and delivered a healthy baby.
Avatar m tn Hi, I'm on Diphenhydramine (Benadryl)now and also wanna take a HIV PCR test, does Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) affect the test result?
Avatar m tn Has anyone taken Seroquel and anti-biotics and are now experiencing heart problems? Do these issues subside, I stopped the seroquel when this happened?
802234 tn?1237830136 My question I took my first dose of Seroquel XR last night and woke with small puffy area inside the 'bags' under my eyes they are still there 9 hours into the day - a non-work, no sun, low energy day (the bags are normal, puffiness is normal when I cry) but usually the whole 'bag' is swollen not just a part. They are not exactly the same size or in the same position, not red, itchy, hot or sensitive.
Avatar m tn I take a combo of diphenhydramine and diazepam to try to sleep. It used to be zolpidem and diazepam but the zolpidem stopped working and because of my depression/self-harm/suicidal tendencies I would knock myself out day and night for days sometimes till I felt safe to get out of bed and I was taking way too much of both. Now it's the diphenhydramine/diazepam combo. I'm taking less diazepam than I used to with the zolpidem but more and more diphenhydramine and it's worrying me.
Avatar m tn I'm on day 12 detox of hydro. haven't had much sleep for pushing 2 months from tapering down then kicking. the first 3 days of wd were bad, but after that, it's just I can't sleep. mostly from muscles flexing and contracting. it get's a little better every day, but still I can't sleep and am exhausted. I finally broke down and tried the benadryl and it worked well last night. I couldn't sleep again tonight and finally broke down and took some more at 3am.
Avatar f tn I just want all of you out there to know that my friend took an overdose of diphenhydramine last night. He took 100 of the 25 mg pills. Within 30 minutes he had horrible halucinations, and then around 4 hours later he was violently throwing up blood and stuff. He couldn't walk well and coordination was bad. This morning he slurs when he talks. He has had a stroke. The reason he did this was because he was diagnosed with cancer. Pancreatic and lung. He was given less than 6 mos.
Avatar m tn I have hepatitis C and can not currently afford to see a doctor for it. I have terrible insomnia and take 75 mg of diphenhydramine HCL(Benadryl) each night to help me sleep. Is this a safe medication to take?
1134609 tn?1269272200 Every atypical antipsychotic has the potential of metabolic changes that can cause weight gain and on ocassion diabetes but if you eat a sensible diet and exercise that can be kept under control (that also includes the second issue, a person I knew developed pre-diabetes from Abilify and through weight loss, proper dieting and exercise and following up with his doctor was able to keep this in check).
Avatar n tn The knowledge that I have is that xanax and Seroquel do not have an impact on your liver. Also 50 mgs of Seroqeul is very low dose. I am on 600. However it looks like you have hepatitis c and you probably know you shouldn't drink because of that. There are likely a lot of medications that effect your liver. The only ones I know of are Tylenol and pain medicines that contain acetaminophen, but I am sure there are likely a lot more.
Avatar m tn Don't quit the Seroquel abruptly -- taper off it. It's interesting you were put on Seroquel and are suffering insomnia -- the only way Valdoxan supposedly works is by increasing the effectiveness of melatonin, which regulates sleep cycles -- in other words, if it works at all for depression, and the evidence appears to be soft, it's by improving sleep.
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 f tn I was on seroquel. It was awful. I was mean WHEN i did awake. the doctor put me on 300mg and I had to sleep a full day on it. So they lowered it but then i slept a 1/2 day so then they put it on 50 and I wouldn't sleep and when I slept I was mean as ever. So I no longer take seroquel. its not good for me.
