seroquel

Avatar m tn I have been off the Klonopin since 3/20/2009 and since 3/20 if have been taking Seroquel. I did not experience seizures since I stop Klonopin but after I stop Klonopin and switched to Seroquel there are nights I can't sleep... it's been like when I had a good sleep last night the next night I can't sleep. I am also experiencing muscle jerk and back pain. Do you think these are Klonopin withdrawals?
Avatar n tn Just wondering.....when my husband was heavily addicted to percocets, oxys and valium, he had little or no sex drive....but it took about 2 years to get to that point. ( 60 percocets, 300mg oxy, 200mg valium daily...approx ) When he got onto the suboxone about 5 weeks ago, his libido came back with a vengeance. Now he's on 12 mg of sub, about 20 mg of klonopin, and 75 mg of seroquel. Can someone please tell me what this combination of drugs does to a person's sex drive?
Avatar n tn Just wondering, what are the effects of Suboxone, Seroquel and Klonopin? He is on 12 mg of suboxone daily, and is prescribed 2 mg of Klonopin but he is abusing that already and taking about 20 mg of the klonopin. I am not overly worried, just because he was taking about 350 mg of valium a day before going on the sub a month ago, but of course there is some concern. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Avatar m tn First off, call the doctor about this. Whatever the reason, it's worrisome. Second off, what was he taking before? Suddenly starting on 300 mg Seroquel could make you extremely sedated, although as a rule Seroquel gets a bit less sedating at higher doses, because it's weird like that. Klonopin could also contribute to being stuporous. The Wellbutrin should be activating, but it's clearly not doing enough.
1029865 tn?1252418538 i currently take klonopin .5mg for anxiety as well as serouquel 50 mg for sleep and prozac 40 mg. but i get the most relief from the klonopin( i.
1134609 tn?1269272200 I am currently taking 1.5 mgs of Klonopin (.5mgs, three times a day) and my shrink and I are thinking about kicking over to Xanax XR. I would prefer not to be on a benzo, but I hate the Klonopin, it makes the depression worse. If I have found, by taking Xanax XR are a PRN, that it lifts my mood as well as calming me down. The Klonopin just drags me out. What are some of the pros and cons of making this switch?
966217 tn?1274049093 I've been on Klonapin for 15 yrs. my most current dose is 1/2 mg in the morning and at night. There's a new DR. here and she decided that I shouldn't be on it anymore. She prescribed Lexapro and Seroquel,because apparently she's hard of hearing and didn't pay me any attention. When I told her that I don't like to take alot of meds. and if i'm not allergic to it don't fix it. Now I don't know what to expect. Has anyone ever had withdrawl from this.
663901 tn?1232649671 The doctor put me back on Seroquel (200mg) per day, and did give me Klonopin (1mg) as needed. I'm using the Klonopin as an as needed supplement, because I feel that this is a highly addictive drug and I'm not prepared to go through withdrawal symptoms because of it... switching from the Xanax was not a problem as I did not take it all the time, only when needed.
420308 tn?1203041262 I also am bipolar depressive and was on Effexor, which pooped, then Paxil and 600mg Seroquel. I went from 130 to 180 in 6 months and was having ongoing panic attacks. Day and night for an entire year. I'll tell you what made the panic attacks and depression go away. I quit antidepressants and sloooooly tapered off the seroquel. It was remarkable. The antidepressants were making me crazy. The awful anxiety slowly got better, although not all the way.
Avatar f tn Hi I use when needed clonazepam for irritability, I have Bipolar Disorder and I am on Lithium and Seroquel also, and Prozac when depressed, clonazepam when either low or high as an extra weapon to curb my snappy head. problem i find if used too regularly when depressed is it can make me worse.
Avatar f tn I was on it for 8 years (2000-2008) and during that time, the side effect of the Klonopin was mis-diagnosed as depression and I was put on Zoloft, Effexor, and eventually Seroquel as well. Once it was determined that I did not have epilepsy, I was taken off the Klonopin cold-turkey. That was five moths ago.
459981 tn?1212193981 so ive been on seroquel for only like a week now. 25 mg and my ob doc called today and said she does not want me on this med. Im so confused. her reasoning makes sense though. having been my ob and family practitioner for 2 years she knows that normally durring my pregnancy i am very level and have never shown any signs of hypomania. So her thoughts are that i should be re evaluated after my pregnancy.
1134609 tn?1269272200 I currently on Lamictal, Neurontin, and Klonopin. However, there has been discussion of weaning off of the latter medications and adding a mood stabilizer to the mix. However, I am very sensitive to medication; Seroquel kicked me into a manic episode. Given this fact, what are some of the effective mood stabilizers for mania? What are some of your experiences with said stabilizers?
Avatar f tn i AM WITHDRAWING from Suxoxone and Klonopin and Ambien.I forgot to mention I am also withdrawing from my Seroquel, ALL AT ONCE.WHAT CAN i DO, i AM A MOM, AND FEEL VERY VERY ILL.
Avatar f tn t have severe anxiety but I have met a lot of people on Remeron, Klonopin, and Seroquel (usually not at the same time) and although all of them are great for anxiety, some of it is cognitive. What has been going on in your life recently that has changed which made you want to start smoking marijuana? If you just had a minor elevation in anxiety than talk to your therapist (if you have one) and ask them what you can do along with the meds to pull you out of it.
Avatar n tn Seroquel is AWFUL for weight gain! I've seen my doctor for 13years & have gone from 100mg up to 1200mg! I'm weaning myself down..without telling her...Im now on 800mg a night. I've gained 80pounds in the last 2 years! I just think she over medicated! But I have a really hard time sleeping now since I decreased the seroquel. She just put me on 20mg of lexapro..praying it doesn't make me gain weight!
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...
Avatar f tn I'm taking a LEXAPRO 30mg, KLONOPIN 5mg and SEROQUEL 25mg cocktail everyday for my Depression/Panic Disorder/Anxiety and I can barley stay awake. I feel like a zombie. True I don't want to kill Myself anymore. But I don't really feel alive anymore either.
1021784 tn?1306363011 Maybe klonopin or something a lot milder from seroquel. I only got placed on it because I had more than just anxiety and I tried several other meds first.
595559 tn?1241140638 As long as you know where your levels are For me lithium alone was not enough,,so I also take Seroquel and Lamictal and I have Klonopin as needed I am Bipolar1 rapid cycler Congrats on getting clean
Avatar n tn It sounds like you are on way too much stuff and why would your psychiatrist dope you up like that? Valium and Klonopin are habit forming. Have you had your bloodwork done regularly? It is so very important to have that check and each med your on can mess up a different organ. BTW, how does the Neurontin work for you? I just started it. Thanks!
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.
433485 tn?1321813390 Hi. I am on Lexapro and klonopin, lamictal and seraquel. I am diagnosed bipolar 2. I have been feeling pretty good lately but my question is, has any one experienced anxiety, even with being on meds?
Avatar n tn Before that, I was misdiagnosed with Bipolar disorder and was being treated with 800mg of Seroquel XR daily, 4mg of Klonopin, and 150 of Effexor XR both daily as well. I went through Hell going cold turkey off the Seroquel, while weening from Effexor. I traded the Klonopin off for Ativan and weened it down from 2mg daily to now taking it as needed (generally .5 daily or every other day. And I started taking the Lexapro as it agreed with me in a way that nothing else did.
561706 tn?1333947274 In November he prescribed Klonopin to help relieve horrible anxiety attacks I was experiencing daily related to work and my appearance. (I do see a therapist, btw). My reaction to the med has been Terrible due to confusion, speech problems, and falling. I wound up in the hospital for two days suspected of having a stroke. Then I was put on medical leave by my employer after an unsuccessful return in Jan. It's a big mess, financially and emotionally.
