I hate seroquel...
| Thu, 10-05-2006 - 9:45am |
UGH! UGH!!! I am only taking 12.5 mgs of this stuff and I am a complete zombie...I was better off not taking it...SOOOOO, I called the new pdoc, that I'm not sure I really like, and told her I wasn't taking it anymore...I have it if I NEED it, like if I'm totally not sleeping, or totally manic. But just every day, NOPE.
Ugh. Couldn't wake up all day yesterday...and still sleepy now.
Hate it...

Okay...after much soul searching, I decided to stick with the 12.5 mgs. I'm SO sensitive to meds...but after only taking a half last night, I am much more awake today.
I'm trying to do everything right and if this is working, then I don't want to do anything to mess myself up.
Good thing I didn't talk to pdoc yet.
Yes it makes me eat, but I need to eat something healthy instead of COOKIES!
Pdoc said this tiny dose of Seroquel will only stabilize my moods and augment my Lexapro and I will get used to the side affects. I'll stick with it for now. You just might hear me fuss about it!
Not to be little your 12.5 mg, but I was just laughing at the thouhgt if that was what my pdoc was to give me It wouldn't be worth my while. I have a HIGH tolerence for meds and he has me on 400mg of seroquel. And I am considering asking him to up it some. My sleep still
Hey Jo! Yeah, I am very sensitive to meds...always have been. Only on 300 mgs of Lithium and it works...and on 20 mgs of Lexapro. And my little 12.5 of Sero. LOLOLOL!
It knocks me OUT and I am asleep for the night an hour after I take it. Funny, huh?
I'm so glad you booked the ticket!!!! When is your bday??? Mine is the 24th.
Hugs,

Keli,
The same thing happened to me with Seroquel. I hate it too!! My pdoc changed me to Geodon, and it works great.

I am on 20mg of Lexapro and 400mg of Seroquel too. I just started the Seroquel a couple weeks ago and I have the love/hate relationship with it too. The Seroquel does make me sleep a good nights sleep though.
I ran out of Lexapro a couple days ago, and skipped the Seroquel 2 nights, and now I'm all antsy and irritable. I reaaally need to get the Lexapro back. I slept from 11pm Thursday night until 6pm Friday! Then I slept from Saturday at 11:30pm until 5pm on Sunday.
