Avatar n tn I am on 400 mg lithuim, 400 mg lamctal, 20 latuda and serquel xr 300 mg. I'm over the hump of a depressive funk. I was taken off seroquul xr and put on latuda. The latuda worked for about a month and then I got depressed again. I'm back on the seroquel xr 300 mg. but weaning off latuda. I'm not completely back to normal from the last time when I was taking 400 mg. My doc says he can't raise the dosage just yet.
Avatar f tn Hi. I've been on Seroquel and then Seroquel XR for about two years now. I was initially prescribed it for bipolar mania, and the resultant insomnia. I have had panic attacks before prior to taking Seroquel, however never constantly, and never for no reason at all. I would have a panic attack after a traumatic event, or when I smoked pot as a teenager, but otherwise I never had them.
Avatar n tn Is Seroquel XR 50mg 2tabs 2x a day the equivalent of Seroquel 100mg 2x a day?
Avatar f tn I have been on regular Seroquel for years and Seroquel XR for some time now and I have never gained any weight. In fact, I was on Seroquel when I lost the weight I gained from all the other drugs.
Avatar f tn I have been taking Seroquel xr 150 mg for about a month with no problem, all of a sudden i have started getting bad muscle spasms that last hours. I can't take it any more, i just take my Prozac and that alone is not helping. Is this a common side affect? will it go away? why did it start after i had been taking the medicine for over a month with no problem?
Avatar f tn Then I discontinue it. He is hoping my other antipsychotic, seroquel xr will be enough. He raised that from 150 to 200 Mgs. Anyone have experience coming off antipsychotics?
Avatar f tn xanax to kolonopin-take one xanax and next dose kolonopin for a few days then just kolonopin. He wants seroquel xr one night and then trazadone the next night at 75mg or up to 150mg and then let go of the seroquel xr. I am scared to death with all these medicine changes. Can I have some input here. I am already fearing life and now I fear the medicine. Thank you.
Avatar f tn asked me to take trazadone one night at 75mg and the next night take the seroquel xr and so on for about 5 days and then just drop the seroquel xr. I am quite confused by this and would like to know if anyone else has made this type of switch? I don't trust the withdrawl method at all. This is a new Dr. for me and has been practicing for over 40 years. I would think he knows it all. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Avatar f tn I take Seroquel xr and Lithium. The Seroquel xr for about two and a half months. The Lithium for over ten years. The Lithium, I do not believe it causes weight gain. Seroquel xr, yes. It, so far is the best antipsychotic I have ever taken, we'll see as the time goes on. I gained about fifteen pounds at first on Seroquel xr! I cut out most colas, I never have been a snacker. It does not make me crave food or sugar, it just adds weight.
Avatar f tn s *real* stubborn. he wants me to take some seroquel xr and i agreed because i am trying to please everyone, inc. me. when your anxiety and depression are too high-octane for ADs and benzos, as you may know, sometimes they add seroquel XR to help, esp. if extreme anxiety and depression are dis-integrating your thoughts a bit as well. happens to the best of us!

607502 tn?1288247540 I was transfered from Seroquel to Risperdal years ago. Once the Seroquel was gone completely, for a couple of days I had minor flu like withdrawal symptoms and slept all day and felt run down. Then I was okay after that.
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.
Avatar m tn I wondered because they only ever had me take the antipsychotics I've taken once a day and I always heard everyone else talk about taking them twice a day. I'm only awake 12 hours or less a day and the current one I'm on has a half life of 3 days so I guess it's kind of pointless for me to take it twice a day.
Avatar m tn Seroquel had that effect on me in small doses when I first started & eventually @ a higher dose was well tolerated. I take a 50mg in the daytime & 200mg @ bedtime. Maybe her pdoc can make some adjustments.
574118 tn?1305135284 When treated for the depression the pdoc changed my seroquel from quick release to XR. Immediately I found it difficult to sleep and it triggered a mild hypomania, but nothing serious. However it lifted me out (if a bit too quickly) of the depression. If you are finding the sedative effects of seroquel beneficial for sleep you may lose this with the XR.
