What are long-term effects of being moderately-to-heavily intoxicated by alcohol still conscious noticeably slowed and then being drugged with Seroquel Quetiapine?

Answer

Ok, I've done this. I take 300 mg Seroquel every night. On various occasions I have been slightly buzzed and have consumed anywhere from 100 to 200 mg of Seroquel. The effects are as follows- first you will notice that your entire body will feel really hot. Then your heart beat will be pounding like crazy, so hard that it feels like your chest will explode for like 15-30 minutes. During this time, you will feel anxious, hot, and it's so scary cause it feels like you are going to die, and I hear that in some cases, depending on how much alcohol you consumed, you actually can die from an overdose. However, once the alcohol-Seroquel de-mix then you will feel sleepy and fall asleep. But by then you will be so tired from your heart pounding that it may be a bit difficult to breathe for at least 10-15 minutes. This is why you should never consume more than two drinks, and allow at least 6-8 hours to detox from the alcohol, by drinking tons of water, orange juice. Again, never ever take more than 2 alcohol drinks when taking Seroquel, and make sure you never do shots of tequila or vodka. If you drink it has to be a mixed drink like vodka and orange juice. You take your two drinks, and then drinks tons of water and orange juice, 8 hours later you can safely take your Seroquel. If you want to risk your life, then go ahead and mix alcohol with Seroquel.

Should you be taking 20mg of lexapro in the morning and 50 mg of seroquel and 1000mg of depakote at night and 1mg of lorazapam three times a day?

Med doses and timing differ for people at different stages of treatment. PLEASE do not give up hope. I know a handful of pills that make you feel weird are not easy to swallow ( in many ways). But, if you were Diabetic you would take your insulin to control it, right? If you question your meds and amounts, ASK THE DOC, GET A SECOND OPINION, CHANGE DOCS, DO RESEARCH ON BIPOLAR. There IS HOPE. Life is great...don't stop the meds. There are SOOOO many great atypical meds out there (Depakote is a blessing over lithium and electric shock. (Rent the movie 'One Flew Over the Cookoos Nest' from the '60's and compare THAT to our options today) During my first psychotic episode, to bring me down from the high, I was on Risperdal, Lorazapam, Clonopin and a couple other things I can't recall (in '97, age 35). I weaned off everything in 4 months because the doc said I could either be bipolar or this could have been a one-time thing. Going off all meds with no relapse would prove the latter. Another episode would prove the former. Two years later I had another episode. Same routine with Risperdal, et, al. After a month on that Depakote was added, Lorazapam & Clonopin dropped. Later Risperdal was dropped. Result = 1000 mg Depakote for maintenance. Two years later I peaked out with unexplained agitation and homicidal thoughts; enter 200mg Seroquel. Ahh! I normalized very quickly. Beginning 2007, I started to wean off Seroquel and I'm down to 50mg. My doc says I should consider weaning off altogether over 2-3 years and see how things go. People DO THAT and live WONDERFUL lives. Others stay on meds and live WONDERFUL lives!! I was a computer programming consultant making 80k+ and have retired VERY early, as was my plan PRIOR to my episode and diagnosis. So you see, my life has not ended. In fact it is better because I know what is important...My Lord, my health, love and each day I'm not in a jacket! Best of luck and God Bless you!
