Avatar n tn Are you still on the zoloft and seroquel along with the xanax or just xanax?
Avatar n tn hello, i was diagnosed with ocd. ive been on zoloft for 5 months on-going. it's nice and helpful. i used to have intrusive sexual/aggressive/religious agressive thoughts. now i have shifted from these to having random songs stuck in my head and it's been horrible for my sleeping. i have only had about 4 hours of sleep for the past two days because of this. ive been reading books, and stuff but its stuck. i wake up in the morning. and the song goes back on loop what do i do?
Avatar f tn I was on a couple mood stablelizers..depokote , seroquel & zoloft plus valium for severe cases..its really helped!
Avatar m tn Before, i was on zoloft and adivan, mostly took the adivan at night for sleeping issues.. But that hasnt worked, i saw my new psych md today and she gave me seroquel, and told me to only take it before bed time. I'll still be taking zoloft but no more adivan.. Has anyone took seroquel? Again, i have panic disorder, low self esteem... and depression sometimes...
1176924 tn?1263760300 IM ALSO WONDERING ...I STOPED THE ZOLOFT BUT STARTED 25MG OF SEROQUEL (sorry for yelling)..i figure that might help the withdrawl from zoloft..
Avatar m tn I have been on Zoloft for 4 weeks and cant sleep. My Dr increased the dosage to 150mgs and it has not helped. I stay up all night, and when I go to the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror, my pupils are dilated. Is this normal? Told my Dr I was going to stop taking it and she insist I stay on it. She says Im being childish and that I need to take Seroquel at night to sleep, and to take the Zoloft in the mornings. I am sick of taking anymore pills!
Avatar f tn i've been on clonazepam for 2 1/2 month i'm currently on 2/2mg at night and 2/2mg in the morning plus serequel, i'm still having problems with excessive worrying/thoughts, panic attacks and agitation and mood swings. i've told my doctor this but he insist on keeping me on it. why? whats a better med for panic attacks. because clonazepam only help with my mood swings and agitation.
1538831 tn?1294199202 Just got some seroquel today and im a little iffy about it. Im currently taking 25 mg of zoloft, 1mg of ativan as needed, mostly for panic attacks, 1 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide a day for blood pressure, and now they want me to use 1 25 mg tab of seroquel at bedtime. Im only 23 and hate to think i need all of these meds, but when im not doing what the docs say i do feel worst. Im gonna try one pill tonite and decide if i need it i guess? Any Suggestions.
1563533 tn?1345366296 I take 25mg seroquel at night and 200mg zoloft a day also. I plan on going to FL for vacation in July and when I get back I have to start Hep C treatments, I am going to drink one last time. Can I drink while Im on this med? I know that since I have been taking the seroquel I feel ALOT BETTER!! I was extremely depressed but now Im doin okay. I cant skip this med, Im afraid of that sever depression, but I also want ot let my hair down one last time. What would you suggest?
459981 tn?1212193981 My husband has bipolar disorder and seroquel and zoloft were awful for him (and me!!) If a medication is not working, and your psychiatrist is not listening, find a new doctor. My husbands first doctor was not listening to him and treated him like dirt so we got a new one and are very happy with him. Some antipsychotic and ssri medications are "safe" to take during pregnancy (meaning benefits outweigh the risks), but from what I have read seroquel may not be one of them.
Avatar m tn I had very very very good luck with Risperdal combined with Zoloft. I was able to even come off both for 6 years without issue. That is something you need to discuss with your pdoc though and work on tapering under the pdoc's care. Anyway, I found that Risperdal was a game changer and 99.9% of my fears subsided. Best of luck!!!
142722 tn?1281533616 Taking meds during pregnancy is always a personal decision that must be weighed very carefully...looking at the risks and the benefits. Personally, Zoloft has worked very well for me in the past, with the least amt of side effects compared to other meds I have been on (Lexapro, Prozac).
Avatar m tn I have seen that you posted quite a bit of questions. I will try to advise you of my experience with Seroquel. I have seen it cause tremors in a lot of people but it did not for me. In a lot of cases this goes away but some do not wish to stay on the medicine long enough for this to happen because the tremors are so bad. In my case Seroquel did not cause any erectile dysfunction but Zoloft did as well as Wellbutrin. Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
Avatar n tn s been to the hospital 3x for extremely low potassium (sweats, palpitations, nasea and diziness). My question is how the Adderol and Zoloft interact with the Bipoar I condition and the bulemia. Thanks.
Avatar f tn I suferred from gad and panic desorder. I'm on zoloft 175mg, clonopin 1mg 3 times a day, seroquel 100mg to go to sleep and 25 mg twice a day, however, I don't take the seroquel morning dose because it makes me too sleepy. I'm desperate trying to find out why I'm still having anxiety and the ton of meds are not working. I was on disability for two months and just went back to work. I've been constantly crying and being anxious. I don't know what to do.
Avatar f tn I am on Zoloft and seroquel for bipolar. How much sleep should i get at night to feel good in the morning? I've been asleep for almost twelve hours and woken up dead tired to the point that I'll turn my alarm off and not get up... Help?
Avatar m tn I've taken Seroquel at night (12.5mg) for 7 years. I only started because my ex snored, refused to get help, & I NEEDED sleep. No side effects, & I've never needed to up the dose, but I somewhat regret starting it. Without it, I can't stay asleep now. I can fall asleep, but won't stay that way.
3189527 tn?1346667221 ve been waking up almost every morning for the last 3 weeks completely nauseous and shaky. I can barely walk. I went on Zoloft, Seroquel and Remeron back in January. I started feeling much better so I stopped taking the Zoloft and Seroquel about 2 months ago. Now I am going through the same nightmare.

Avatar m tn Instead she weaned me off the Zoloft in only 9 days with instructions to start pristiq 50 mg daily after the nine days. She failed to tell me the hell I would go through weaning off Zoloft. I'm afraid to sleep in the same room with my wife due to the nightmares and that I might hit her in my sleep. I also feel like I have mini shocks through my body, very anxious and down. I used to really like my doctor but now she is so busy our visits are 3 - 5 minutes.
Avatar n tn I have been taking zoloft for about 11 years or so and am currently on a dose of 200mg per day. I also take 400mg seroquel at night. I've read about brain shivers upon withdrawal from zoloft but currently experience brain shivers whilst taking zoloft. I take the zoloft in the morning and by about 3pm or 4pm begin getting the electric shocks in my brain. I used to get this only if i missed a dose but they are quite regular now and i am consistent with taking my meds.
Avatar f tn I was taking 50mg of Seroquel and 50 mg of Zoloft BID and was striken with Seratonin Syndrome and had a stroke on 11/2/09. The first 48 hours the doctors did not think I would survive. Fortunately the MD on duty in the ER had seen this once before and knew what to do. After getting me stabilized, I has massive seizures for 4 days. It is now 6 weeks later anf I am alive and healthy. Unfortunately I am still dealing with the effects of the stroke with left side weakness.
Avatar f tn Reason I ask is simply because to take a patient from Lexapro 30mgs with Abilify and switch them to Welbutrin and Seroquel is kind of an odd change. Welbutrin can be a good add on antidepressant to SSRI's and SNRI's, but is not so effective as a solo antidepressant in most cases. Seroquel is really nothing more than just an altered seditive and will do little for depression. Welbutrin is just a Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitor.
Avatar n tn My Psych nurse diagnosed me with depression (even though it felt like a lot of anxiety to me). I tried Zoloft because I had success on it 4 yrs ago. This time was awful. After 4 weeks at 50 mg, I couldn't sit still, or stand up without jumping on my toes. I felt mixed up, sad and anxious. She said to quit the Zoloft immediately because she though it put me into a state of hypomania. I was scared of withdrawals, so I weaned off Zoloft for 3 days, and felt much better.
919239 tn?1269394658 They were of little benefit. Recently my MD. gave me some samples of 50 mg. of Seroquel XR. After reading the info with the medication, it says Seroquel is prescribed for bi-polar disorder. In my case I don't get the up or manic phase. I was hoping that this medication may be helpful for depression alone. Anyone who takes Seroquel that can give me some insight will be much appreciated.
Avatar m tn So over the summer i took way too much zoloft, i think i went from not taking any to 125 mg for 5 days. I started yawning alot, my pupils got huge, and i got uncontrollable muscle twitches and jerks. On the 5th day i woke up shivering excessively and just in a complete panicked state. I got off Zoloft immediately and took a long detox period. I tried taking it again, but everytime i did my body went right back into that crazy state.
142722 tn?1281533616 I am 32weeks preggo, on seroquel OB said to talk zoloft asked shrink he said it could make me worse and put me into manic state.
