Seroquel

That would be something to discuss with the prescribing doctor! While some medications offer the ability to do those kinds of things some do not. I would really suggest before trying something that could potentially affect you and how your medication works don't try this until you have discussed it and the side effects fully with the prescribing doctor.

Do not abruptly stop. You have to slowly ween yourself off.

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.

yes, medications disrupt menses...make sure you notify your physician and us birth control because pregnancy also stops menses. Seroquel is not compatible with pregnancy according to the PDR.

All drugs have two names, a trade name and a generic name. These are both the same drug.

it is absolutely safe, I've been taking them together for years. it really helps with the huge weight gain that seroquel is known for.

Well, my Grandma took it once on accident. Long long story why. (I was going to take it later so i dropped it where no one would see it and she thought she dropped one of hers) Anyways, all that happened was she got sleepy and had a good nights rest, perfectly fine since.

I've been taking seroquel for nearly three and a half years now. I know exactly what you are talking about. I would have yawning fits after a night that I was already quite tired, and then preceded to take my medication. I would wake up the next day still moderately feeling the effects, with yawning added as well. I also experienced these symptoms when I would take a few more then were prescribed on nights that I found it borderline impossible to sleep. For me the yawning is only present when too much of the medication is taken. You can go back to your doctor and see if you can lower your dose just a tad. If you are not taking seroquel for psychosis or seizures you will be suprised to find that seroquel even at low levels can help greatly with sleep and when coupled with another depression medication its awesome at making your life feel vastly better.

No, no and NO!!!!! The chances of you going to sleep and not waking up are far too high!

According to wikipedia's page on Suboxone " One French study showed a higher incidence of fatal overdose in patients who injected both buprenorphine and benzodiazepines, specifically, temazepam, together.[18] Buprenorphine can be safely taken with prescribed benzodiazepines at normal dosage, as long as the patient is tolerant to either opioids or benzodiazepines, and the drugs are taken in the dosages prescribed and by the route of administration prescribed, and not injected."

I think this means that you can take them together, so long as it's under medical supervision. Please see the related link for the full article. To clarify, Xanax is a benzodiazepine, but you probably knew that already.

I haven't heard of it helping with concentration. It is known for its sedative properties.

Providing that they have been prescribed for you then you should be fine. I have a friend who is doing really well on this combination.

yes it has helped me a lot I am taking 50mg of Zoloft and 500 mg of seroquel haven't had a panic attack or depression since I have been on the 2 but you should know that it may be different for everybody nobody's body works the same

I take seroquel and the only immediate reaction I have ever had to seroquel is extreme drowsiness, unstable walking and bad hunger pains.

Ive been taking seroquel for about 5 weeks now and I also am drowsy and tired all the time. I can go to sleep anytime. I also have unstable walking yet also like a tired and dragging-myself-along kind of walking. I feel like my posture has changed too because I am constantly slouching and my neck is down low. Before I started taking seroquel I always had good posture.

Just deal with it like i do!

Andrew says so.

ADHA Be careful with that combination That could/will make you very sluggish

death

It differs at each person and at each illness.

If someone is a middle of a very strong psychosis->no effect. Haldol (Haloperidol) or sth like, may it vanish.

If he is at the beginning of a psychosis, or just milder case.-> 1-2 day back to normality. But still "weird" and some symptoms.

It takes about 1 or 2 months that all symptoms releaved.

This is psychosis. On 500-800 mg. (I wouldn't recommend less for bipolar/schizophrenia/schizoaffective.)

If after 2 months, you see no change at these doses, then switch to another drug.

(Prop. Zyprexa. It makes someone fat, maybe diabetic.->Seroquel is way better.

In worst case -middle of psychosis or alike- Haldol.

I wouldn't recommend Abilify or Geodon. They are weak as hell. If Seroquel has minimal effects, they will not have at all.)

->Personal experience. (Taken these for schizoaffective.)

Anxiety, sleeping problems etc. I don't know totally.

About 1-2 days. (as I've seen some patients)

But it's not the best drug for these disorders at all.

It can take days or weeks to officially detox the body of Seroquil. This medication has a half life of 6 hours. So every six hours, half of the original dose is left in the body. Depending on the amount taken, it can take weeks to detox.

is seroquel used in the black market

Definately! It is reported that roughly 30% of all males who take more than 100mg of

Seroquel for an extended period of time (6 months-2 years) will become sterile. Seroquel also has been known to shrink the testicles over time and can in some cases cause birth defects. Seroquel can also cause colon infections.

hell yea it can...so high you dont wanna move

the standard formulation of pamprin is exactly the same as excedrin maximum strength, the 'bloating' relief is from caffeine which causes a dieuretic (water flushing) response. In addition, everyone needs to be aware things like midol, pamprin, unisom, all are just the same drugs repackaged over and over and marked up. Go to the dollar store and spend 1 buck on diphenhydramine tabs and generic acetominophen, you've got twice the amount of Tylenol pm for 1/5 the price. Buy generic 'headache' medicine with 250 aspirin 250 aceptominophen and 65 caffeine and you have excedrin, midol, and pamprin for far less. Beware OTC products labeled as 'for' a specific symptom. Just a method to overcharge you for being ignorant.
