Want this question answered?
regular seroquel is about an hour and seroquel xr takes about 4hrs
yes but not for long times
I gained 40 pds in three months on seroquel. With me the weight loss began immediatly as well as my hunger pains subsiding. I have been off of it for 2 months and have lost 30 pds. I have been taking seroquel for 5 years. Initially I gained 50 pounds, but after starting a healthy eating programme and gentle excercise the pounds are starting to come off.
Bad idea. Depending on the amount you are taking, how long, and why there can be a number of withdrawls. Seroquel is a strong medicine, it is possible to quit, but this is best done slowly under the supervision of a psychiatrist.
seroquel xr stays in your system for up to a week or two
90 days
Yes. Seroquel and Lexapro are commonly prescribed together. While 600 mg of Seroquel is quite a large dose, as long as that was what was prescribed it's fine.
Yes. Seroquel is a quetiapine tablets and extended-release (long-acting) tablets are used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia.
You can have nausea, trouble sleeping, ect if you stop taking seroquel suddenly. You should talk to your doctor if you want to stop taking it, and he will lower your dosage slowly, as to avoid side affects and withdrawal symptoms.
Yes, you are going to jail for a long time. ----------- Considering that Seroquel's half-life is 6 hours, that the likelihood of Seroquel OD causing death is extremely low, and the fact that your blood stops circulating when you die, I imagine that the Seroquel would definitely show up on a blood test. So, your ideas of homicide/suicide would not work with a Seroquel OD.
It all depends on the medication.
Seroquel should ONLY be taken according to your prescription. A person on Seroquel needs to take their meds the way that they're supposed to, in the time frame that they are supposed to, to keep a steady level of the drug in the body. Seroquel is an anti-psychotic, and not a sleep aid. The important thing is, if you are on Seroquel, you need to take it properly. Don't just stop taking it; you need to be "weaned off". And if it is not your prescription, you should NOT take it. Anti-psychotic drugs taken by a person who doesn't need it can be dangerous, including having long-term permanent effects such as Tardive Diskinesia. Actually Seroquel IS prescribed by a lot of doctors as a sleep aid. It's an anti psychotic medication that can be used to help you sleep. I have a prescription for it as a sleep aid myself actually.
