seroquel

Avatar f tn Before this i was taking xanax .25 for panic attics, which I took the xanax 3 x a day. So the Dr. said replace the 3rd xanax with the seroquel 25mg before be d to seep how it works. OK i start taking Seroquel Fri night. Sat. i feel tired a little out of it and feel like I'm gonna have a panic attack. I say OK it probably just the meds getting into me. sun feel the same way. Mon. feel like a zombie not in my own body, very jittery lightheaded. also i flipped out on my husband for no reason.
Avatar f tn t possible to c/t on a low does of xanax? Or should I still be scared? Really feel pretty good...Still to scared to take seroquel.
906819 tn?1242453662 I was wondering if anyone has tried the Ambien/Xanax combo at night for sleep because that was offered to me. Do you find that Xanax is stronger than Librium? Does anyone think I should try the two together? The only problem is I would problem need like 2 mgs of the Xanax because of my bodies' tolerance to this stuff. Looooong history.
Avatar f tn Doctors o Mehelp here have suggested Seroquel for sleeping for addicts. We are dependent on Seroquel to sleep. No big deal. You can take it long term with no bad effect. We could quit, and the only side effect would be that we couldn't sleep. Many people are not able to sleep with aid. Seroquel is the last thing i had to take on my journey of insomnia. Maybe it'll work for you too. You NEED sleep. Life is too hard without getting the REM that you need. We take one per night.
Avatar f tn Xanax is usually but not always felt when it enters the blood stream. Seroquel on the other hand bulds up slowly but will never feel like xanax Seroquel is a med with mood stablizing side effects used mostly for bi polar.I personally would not choose seraquil for anxiety unless I had underlying symptoms.The benifit of seroquel is it stays in your system longer than the xanax does, it would also get rid of the comming down feeling you can sometimes get with xanax.25mg.
Avatar n tn how much seroquel, xanax, and alcohol causes an overdose. im qworried about my sister, she ha been prescribed xanax for 8 years now at 2mg a day, so her tolerance is well established. she is also an alcoholic. thankfully, she knows not to combine xanax while drinking, but what about the addition of seroquel? could she OD from the pill combination alone? would then the addition of alcohol just pretty much seal her fate?
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 n tn Are you still on the zoloft and seroquel along with the xanax or just xanax?
Avatar m tn one time I thought I was having freaking heart attack and I felt like bugs were crwaling in my skin, i went over to the E-Room and they told me that I had GAD, this is when Xanax came in to my life. I stopped taking the ambien because the Xanax helped with the sleep. This Wed I went to see my Dr. and he prescribed Seroquel and Effexor, now correct me if I am wrong, but in order to get off Xanax can't I just ween off of it and take half a pill until I come of of it.
Avatar m tn My wife accidently ingested my son's seroquel 400 mg tablet thinking it was her Diovan for her high blood pressure. What steps should I take? Should I worry? should she drink more water to dilute it. Should she take one of my xanax .5 to prevent an accelarated heart rate?
663901 tn?1232649671 I'm not sure if I'm diagonosed correctly with bi-polar disorder. Between March and now I've tried several different medications. One of my main issues is sleeping and I was prescribed Seroquel. I took 200mg for several months and finally told the pdoc that I wasn't happy with it because of the weight gain and skin (terrible breakouts) issues. He switched me on October 14th to Geodon. I took 40mg a day for two days and then was bumped up to 80mg.
Avatar f tn You can take Xanax too and Xanax being a sedative, hypnotic, anti-convulsive, anxiolytic medication will make you even more tired and dizzy since you are already on Seroquel which is very sedative in its anti-psychotic kind of med. You get the extended release which should cause less sedation but still when mixed with a benzodiazepine such as Xanax it will add up and make you feel like you mentioned above.
584628 tn?1218598371 I know that I gained 40 pounds when taking Seroquel. The Lexapro could also be the problem although the Xanax should not be. So talk with your doctor and get your medication)s) changed. You'll be a lot happier with your body image and self esteem without those extra pounds.
Avatar m tn 25 mg due to anxiety.Now he has asked me to stop the Xanax from tomorrow by saying that Xanax 1.25 mg is not a big dose.My question is whether it is alright to stop Xanax immediately even though I am on a similar dose of Klonipin and whether I may experience any difficulties in stopping the Xanax.I am on Seroquel 50 mg for anxiety.Thanks.
574118 tn?1305135284 Hi adel does seroquel help in reducing your anxiety?.It has reduced my anxiety since it was started yesterday by my Pdoc.Do you think 25 mg BD is sufficient to relieve anxiety as he is using it for that purpose.

377493 tn?1356502149 I haven't tried Seroquel but am tempted to ask my Dr. about if it may work for me. I am going through menopause (58 yrs old) and having anxiety problems along with high blood pressure spikes. When I feel anxious in my chest, then my bp goes really high, sometimes 180 plus / 90's. I also have this terrible insomnia and taking xanax .50 at bed time to help me sleep. It doesn't work very well, but better than nothing at all.
Avatar n tn I started on regular Seroquel after a manic episode that had psychotic features. I was stable for 3 years. I had lost a lot of weight, and the Seroquel dose started to give me a harmless but uncomfortable side effect. My dr at the time said I shouldn't be on it since I wasn't currently having psychotic symptoms and tapered me off it. I went from 450mg to 150mg and I was unable to sleep and my thoughts were disjointed.
Avatar n tn so for 20 years my doctor has prescribed me Xanax and leaxapro for social anxiety..... 20 years!!! Never once did I abuse my Xanax. I needed it I needed it to be me... Xanax was my morning pill to face the world for days at a time! I became addicted..:: obviously I was clueless after 20 years because I told my doctor they don't work they make me LAZY! So he took me off them::: I couldn't go a day! The withdrawl is so severe and last for ever !
Avatar f tn 1 mg of xanax 4 x’s a day, seroquel 150 mg at night. So this was my new medication line up after switching psych drs. after 10 years. need a new beginning. not feeling good. So this is what she added in. I am a homembody and fear the everyday so it was hard to get to some appts. what she was aware of in the beginning and after i missed 3 appt.s she called to tell me her office is to busy to help me even though she knew my issue. So off to a new Dr.
Avatar f tn First I have effexor xr 150 i tapered from 225 and that was hell. they were introducing prozac at 40 mg, then i take xanax 4 times a day at .5 and then the seroquel at night at 150 mg. He is my new Dr. and don't like any of them but his withdrawl methods -hmmmm. I don't get it since he has been practicing for so long. Wanted me to take Effexor every other day, take the prozac away --by doing every other day, and take one xanax and then one kolonopin until i drop the kolonopin.
Avatar m tn He is currently on seroquel, Prozac and Xanax along with trazadone at bedtime. These meds are all prescribed meds. Is he still undergoing withdrawal symptoms, is this PAWS?, or is something else going on. I've posted here before and you guys have been great. I really need your help again.
