I can't say that it *causes* flushing and/or hot flashes. I *can* say that the detailed prescribing information (found on www.seroquel.com by clicking on "SEROQUEL prescribing information"), on page 38 under the Cardiovascular System, notes that vasodilatation is is an infrequent side effect. I am not a doctor or nurse, I am, however, taking Seroquel. I have a problem with flushing, even while not on medication. I don't know if it's just me imagining things, but it seems like the flushing has been exaggerated since taking the Seroquel. I'd also like to know if anyone has noticed flushing, or an increase in flushing, while taking Seroquel. I had really bad hot flashes and chills while taking seroquel. I had a bunch of tests ran on me, the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong. But 5 days after stopping Seroquel, the hot flashes stopped.
90 days
You should stop aspirin or any other anticoagulants at least 5 days prior to surgery. Your surgeon should instruct you specifically when to stop it though.
seroquel is not detectable on a drug screen. It is neither an opiate or benzo
it should not quit working after 3 days if this is your first time taking it, you need to call your doctor about the dosage
why wait? what drugs did you take? some take 30 days to get out of your system others take 3 days
I take Seroquel. It depends on the dosage. You'll notice it makes you sleepy and helps you sleep throughout the night. I therefore take mine early evening. I try not to take it too late as I don't want it to affect me the next day. If I plan on going to bed, I take it about two hours before I plan on falling asleep. It should make you feel less anxious in about three days. In about two to three weeks you feel quite a bit better. In six weeks, you'll have the full affect. Don't give up on Seroquel - it's a good medicine.
it takes about 2 days taking about 4-8 pills a day to get it out of your system.
Seroquel is NOT a maoi, you can take Tylenol without any problem.
Patients taking blood thinners also must check with their physician to find out when they should stop taking the medication before surgery.
Yes, you can depending upon what your dosage of Seroquel is. Withdrawing from Seroquel caused me to experience severe chest pain and high blood pressure the first few days after each dosage cut. After I had the chest pain thoroghly checked out to make sure there was nothing seriously wrong, my Dr. gave me a prescription for low dose tramadol to take those first few days at each lower seroqel dose so that I could function. You should talk to your physician though--the CNS depressive side effects of Seroquel and Tramadol are additive.....so I imagine you might not be able to take it if you are on a lot of Seroquel.
