Seroquel quetiapine withdrawal
Common Questions and Answers about Seroquel quetiapine withdrawal
seroquel
However, I did read an article published by the maker of Seroquel acknowledging withdrawal symptoms. If word comes out that Seroquel is physically addicting and causes horrible withdrawals, people probably wouldn't be eager to take it and sales of the drug could drop. Seroquel is huge right now, this website is covered in ads for Seroquel. As far as the insomnia, I took Seroquel before bed because of how sedating it was for me. After 2.5 years, my body didn't know any other way to sleep.
Am I robbing Peter To pay Paul???? Has anyone had experiences with Remeron(mirtazapine) or Seroquel (quetiapine). Particularly withdrawal Experiences. Has anyone successfully quit Remeron After five years??? Had any experience with seroquel addiction or withdrawal?? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for listening.
It literally got rid of all of them, including the awful hot/cold sensations, the muscle spasms and the cravings. Seroquel is also known as Quetiapine. So, if any of you are going through withdrawals, and you've been given seroquel for sleep or anxiety, try taking 25-50mg about every four hours or as needed, and it might help you too. I know that seroquel is certainly easier to get your hands on than OC's or lortab for that matter.
-( This was an attempt by me to change to a lesser drug but it has back fired and now I've been put on Seroquel (quetiapine) to help me sleep (it has many other uses including treating the symptoms of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder but I was just using it in a low dose to help me sleep). I gave that up as I thought it was ausing the horrible heaviness and depression I felt each morning (might not have been the cause??
It is NOT a drug you take prn! (as needed)
Your psychologist prescribed Seroquel for sleep?! Quetiapine is an antipsychotic med and has as side effects, agitation, anxiety and INSOMNIA. It should also never be used if you are pregnant or are trying to become pregnant.
Then you tell me you haven't seen your doctor for a month, so in other words, you have gone cold turkey off the Klonopin and stopped the Seroquel but then say you had some left over............!
That pattern (MDI - meaning manic then switch into depression then gradually come out of it) if repeated suggests that you might want to talk to your doctor about other mood stabilizers (either in addition to Lamictal, if it has been helping somewhat, or instead of, if it hasn't been doing much to help) - specifically lithium, valproate, or an atypical antipsychotic like quetiapine (Seroquel), olanzapine (Zyprexa), or aripiprazole (Abilify).
*752 per 100,000 for those treated with atypical antipsychotics--risperidone (Risperdal), olanzapine (Zyprexa), and quetiapine (Seroquel);
*718 per 100, 000 for those treated with the SSRIs - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Celexa)
*425 per 100, 000 for those treated for "social anxiety disorder" with nefazodone (Serzone), mirtazapine (Remeron), and bupropion (Wellbutrin/Zyban);
*136 per 100,000 for those treated for panic disorder--with
5mg but it was strong enough for me to sleep for 10 1/2hrs so i only use it when i am quite sick. Anyways my symptoms from withdrawal were just insomnia for the 1st week or so and nothing that bothered me since i knew my body would adjust. I hope she has seen or spoken to her doctor and that that has helped her.
1) Is it typical and appropriate to prescribe daily doses of Klonopin, Lactical, Seroquel, AND Celexa (plus Xanax on an as needed basis)?
2) If so, would it be typical and appropriate for a patient who has never had a seizure, and has not been diagnosed with manic depression, schizophrenia, or any other psychosis?
3) Would the combination of these 4 (or 5) drugs be likely to cause a side effect of interference with thinking, memory, and speech?
I had the same problems as alley1 above -- extreme weight gain (30 lbs. in 2 months), thinning hair, extreme fatigue. Doc stopped the depakote/seroquel combo and now I'm on Lamictal and Wellbutrin. Weight is coming off, hair is coming back, and I have my energy back.
Everyone reacts differently to the meds. You might have a better experience with it, and if not, ask your doctor to switch to something else until you find the right combination that works best for you.
(d) giving up important social, family or occupational activities to use it; and (e) reporting withdrawal symptoms when one stops using it.
All these criteria can apply to people who are addicted to sex or watch a lot of television. That does not mean that sex or watching television, per se, are problematic. Both and television can teach and amuse; they can bring us to aesthetic and sensory heights; they can provide much needed distraction and escape.
I had such a bad reaction to that – it made me suicidal, kept me up more at night (when I was already only sleeping 2-3 hours for two months) and made me incredibly agitated/irritated within a very short period of time so I was taken off of it.
When I decided in March of last year to stop the effexor, even with tapering off of it like my Doctor told me, I still had bad withdrawal. I ended up stopping effexor and then joining weight watchers, that seemed to help my depression more than any medications. Good luck to you. You also have to remember that everyone reacts different to medications. What made me gain weight may make you lose. Good luck!
