Seroquel

My pharmasist recommended unisom as I am taking citalopram too.

I don't know if this helps but I am a 41yo man and i am prescribed Klonopin and Seroquel (Klonopin is about the same drug as Valium, same family but i think klonopin is a little stronger) anyway I take them both at the same time in the morning (1mg Klonopin, 300mg Seroquel) and at night (2mg Klonopin, 300mg Seroquel). I also take 1mg twice during the day. I have no problem with it except the Seroquel makes me drowsy and hungry. My Dx is Bi-polar schizo-affective and general anxiety disorder. Hope this helps.

"Is there another name for Seroquel?"

Anyone who exhibits a blah blah blah ... Personalities most often associated with a pattern of lying are those with sigs of ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER or NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER. If on the other hand, you are trying to ascertain whether someone has a destructive pattern of lying, look at their words and their conduct in relation to your experience of them and what you know of their relationships with others. Accomplished liars lie to get what they want when they want it and without any regard whatsoever for the consequences of their lies and, when found out, they tend to lie some more without turning a hair. If a person in your life just doesn't ADD UP, if they've lied to your knowledge, if they continue to lie, if they continue to disappoint or fail to deliver and always have an excuse or they expect you to forgive yet another trespass, you are dealing with a LIAR and a damaging personality that you are best advised to avoid rather than to hold your breath waiting for this person to treat you with integrity, to honour their word, honour the representations and so on.

because normally they have something going on in there life

5000mg+ is required to overdose but it totally depends on body weight. But if you're thinking along the suicide lines, I really, really, urge you not to.

Yes, a person can take Seroquel and Xanax together. However, they do have some drug interaction, that will make the person very sleepy.

Yes, you should be fine. However, please consider that Klonapin is highly addictive and habit forming. Are you taking these medications for a psychiatric disorder? Be careful,again. Not only with the Klonapin, but Seroquel and Lamictal will knock you out, and numb you out. No way to live life. These medications are meant to be taken for a short period of time, unless you are severely schizophrenic. If you do take them for a long period of time you may develop Tardive Dyskenesia. And it's chronic. Good luck...

It depends on how much of each drug you take. Further, mixing the drugs together won't make any of the individual drugs more potent. A lethal dose of Seroquel will kill you with or without adding Tylenol or Advil. I suggest you don't try and find out what such a dose is, and contact a professional or call 911 for yourself or a friend if there's any danger.

Seroquel is only available in pill dosage form. So , No it does not come in liquid form.

absolutly nothing

Maybe. Seroquel can cause significant drowsiness, as can Ambien (obviously). Due to the overlapping "side effects," this combination should only be used in patients for whom a doctor has determined that the benefits outweigh the risks. In other words, your doctor will determine if this is a safe combination for you. It may not be safe for all patients.

A doctor may avoid this combination in a frail patient of advanced age due to high risk of slip-and-fall type injuries. On the other hand, the psychological benefits may exceed the risks in a different patient. If your doctor has prescribed this combination, discuss any concerns with him or her. Do not discontinue your medicine except under the advice of a doctor or pharmacist.

PLease don't killurself we all love u

-because you asked in a such a way that doesnt outright suggest suicide or the like, I'll answer. death from an overdose ( I'm assuming you mean overdosing, and not a freak allergic reaction) by Seroquel takes, from all the cases I've seen, at least 20,000 mg, and enough time for the person overdosing to either pass on or reach a point where if found, they cannot be saved.

Seroquel overdose causes a fairly gentle death, compared to what other overdoses do ( example: OD by something like Tylenol causes kidney and liver failure, and causes extreme pain before dying) With seroquel, you will see a deep drop in blood pressure, called hypotension, and an irregular heart beat, called arrhythmia. these usually happen during or just before the person entering a coma. if left in this state, the person will die. i called this gentle because there is little damage done to the body, and the person is almost always comatose during the most of it.

if you are planning to take your own life, i will not tell you to stop, because if that's what you want then that's what you will do. and i wont say "we love you", because that is a lie. but i am not encouraging you to, either. im telling you all this because i have been there, and looked into it a great deal. whatever your intentions, i wish you the best.

Yes it does. If you are supposed to be taking it, a test will show if you are not. If you are not supposed to be taking it- its not a great high..........

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.

you cant dumb a$$

No.

Its class is atypical antipsychotics.

I take Seroquel about 30 minutes before going to bed. I go to sleep very easily and am able to sleep approximately 7 hours till morning, I wake up but will go right back to sleep. I have never slept more than 3 hours a night unless with sleep medication till taking Seroquel. This is an unbelievable blessing. I am a 61 white male and have been diagnosed with Type 2 Bi Polar condition with chronic combat PTSD from the 1960's with Anxiety and Depression Disorders. I had a complete breakdown at 57 and ended up in the VA (they are awesome) there I was finally diagnosed correctly and given medications till I ended up with Seroguel and Zoloft. I take 200 mg at nighttime of Seroquel and 200 mg of Zoloft in the morning, which works very well for me. I am amazed how the medications take the edge off, it is a blessing to me and everyone around me appreciates it also. Mick

i used to take 400mg of seroquel before i went to the ment hospital they told me that was high and lowerd me to 300mg i would adive you stop taking it but first tell your doctor because 800mg is for really cazy people lol and u may need it

It all depends on what disorder it's prescribed for.

I'm on 800mg Seroquel for bi-polar (along with some others), and I feel ok.

If you're Schizophrenic, then the starting dose is usually 25mg twice a day, increasing to 400mg/day.

I would not advise adjusting your medications by yourself... should only be done under a dr's supervision.

*Whoever wrote this is insensitive and I would venture to say is making light and using the word "crazy" to compensate for insecurities regarding their own plight with mental illness. 800 mg. is described as the "working dose" for many severe cases of Bipolar disorder according to the psychiatrist that prescribed it to me. Crazy is a loose term. I have been diagnosed with Mixed Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Sever OCD, Anxiety Disorder, and Borderline Personality Disorder and I functioned for 29 years keeping everyone around me in complete dark that I suffered from any, let alone all of these. I saw a psychiatrist for the first time three weeks ago and honestly, to be told I was severely mentally ill was comical to me as well since I am smarter and more productive than 90% of the people I know. Mental Illness is not a downfall or a flaw, it is quite simply an adjective. Do not let people who are immature about it make you feel ashamed of being who you are and having the courage to seek a better life without being plagued with symptoms.

400 mg is by no means a high dose, it depends on what you are prescribed for, for Bi-Polar the dose is usually 300-400 max, for schizophrenia it is common to go up to 800 per day, I take 300 a day for Bi-polar, I have a friend who takes about 4 different types of meds a day, including 2400 mg of Seroquel, and no he doesn't sit in a corner drooling on himself

For common drug interactions, visit:

There, you can "plug in" different drugs and find out if there are any known interactions.

You really need to ask a pharmacist to be sure. Don't gamble with drugs, drug combinations or your health. Call your local drug store. They'll be glad to assist.

Yes.

It must be a lot! There were reports of a man taking 200 100mg tablets who went into a week long coma and woke up in the psych ward.

The LD50 is extremely high I think about 4000mg/kg but I was unable to find a case similar to that

Personally Im helping a girl recover from about 6500mg of seroquel and over 100 tablets of Tylenol. Studies say half the Tylenol dose should have killed her, especially since she wasn't found an rushed by ambulance until ten hrs later. She was slightly coherent treatment started immediately and within two days she was pretty much herself again, except looking at time in psych. Tomorrow will be day three she is being discharged from cardiology.

For those of you trying to find a sure way to overdose, remember her story! She's only 24 135 lbs she might have some minor long term health issues but they say physically she's made a full recovery

Don't go thinking a bottle of pills will solve your problems... I can almost guarantee you'll just end up with more complications.

Based on my experience only, I take 200mg four times a day. With insurance I paid $50. I recently lost my job and insurance and the cost for my 30 day supply (120 pills) is $930 a month. Roughly about $8 a dose.

Yes. They are from different drug classes and have different effects. Wellbutrin is an anti-depressant of the Dopamine Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor class. Ativan is an anxyolitic drug and is a benzodiazepine. I use this combination - wellbutrin daily, and ativan as needed for anxiety and insomnia. It works well.

Update: I must disagree with the answer above (whoever wrote it). If you look up Bupropion (a.k.a. Wellbutrin) on Wikipedia, then scroll down to "Contraindications", it states clearly that Wellbutrin should not be taken with any type of benzodiazepine (which is what Lorazepam - a.k.a. Ativan - is). So you should absolutely talk this over with a doctor instead of asking the internet. You might just get an "I don't see why not" guess from someone who may not truly know the answer. Bottom line - talk to your doctor before taking those two together!
