Common Questions and Answers about Seroquel and klonopin combination

seroquel

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 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 f tn I've been on Klonopin for months and I barely eat and I keep gaining weight. It's not just Klonopin, it's any medication that I take for my brain that causes me to gain weight and when I get off the medicine, I never lose the weight. So now I'm clincically obese (it's been 7 years, almost 8 in a few months) and I don't know what to do anymore. Right now I'm on Geodon and Klonopin and they help out my BP and anxiety so much but at the risk of what???
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
1075007 tn?1255646051 Nortriptilyne is a sedating antidepressant, Seroquel is very sedating, and Klonopin can also be very sedating. Not to mention the Ambian (sleeping agent) No wonder your knocked out half the time. What doctor would prescribe a sedation combination such as that for Depression or even Bi-polar? The drugs aren't the problem, but rather your doctor is the problem. Did this guy get his Psychiatric licence from a cracker jack box? Find a new Psychiatrist ASAP.
2176476 tn?1338605299 ve been taking Lamictal for about 7 months, along with a secondary anti-psychotic to after a major mania episode. I started on Seroquel for about 3 months, and the combination seemed to work well. I had to D/C the Seroquel when my insurance changed and it wasn't covered. Since then I've tried first perphenazine (4 weeks), then thiothixene (six weeks), but they were too sedating and I was having a problem working.
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.
574118 tn?1305135284 Now comes the turn of the risperidone (took 7 years non-stop) and seroquel (2 years and used to stop my mixed states). However if I were cyclothemic then it's only the AD which made me so, and the dose is minimal and by the way each time i consult another stupid ugly pdoc he would tell me you don't take meds rather these doses help you only to sleep. So tonight i won't take them and we will see. Do you know what will happen if i live till tomorrow ?
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.
Avatar f tn Last June I had a breakdown and I was out of state a a physician I went to put me on seroquel, lexapro, and vyvanse....along with my klonopin. This seemed to be working, then he added Adderall and I was amazed at this. I felt "normal" for the first time in 30 years. I could think straight, and as time has gone by the depression has gone. I take 30 mg of this a day. Recently, since the insurance said they would not pay for Vyvanse and Adderall the Dr.
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.
Avatar f tn I am on 200 mg Lamictal plus 20 mg Lexapro. With that combination I feel a lot better. So glad I stopped the Seroquel and Depakote. The meditation sounds like a good idea for the anxiety -- I still feel that way sometimes but try to put those thoughts out of my mind. Good luck to you also!
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.
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.
Avatar n tn Friend of mine was on Seroquel, and because of the involuntary jaw movements associated with Seroquel, she chipped her bottom front tooth.
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?
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).
467977 tn?1262714747 Dr put me on 2mg Klonopin.20mg paxil and Buspar..isn't those all bad combination..have alcohol and pill addiction.
