Seroquel

I've been prescribed 400mg of it for years. Too many years. Over the last twenty years or so I've been diagnosed with a variety of psychiatric disorders - they've finally decided on Treatment Resistant Depression (in other words, they don't know what the fuck to do with me) and of all the meds I've been on, it's one of the ones I've loathed the most. Yes, some nights I'll sleep after a fashion when taking it, but it makes me feel thickened, slow, more depressed not less, congested, breathing is harder, and I end up hungry, and both craving crappy food and finding it ridiculously difficult to resist eating said food - result? obesity.

Just as a bonus, when trying to discuss the issue of my severe anxiety that was getting worse over the last 2 years, the best the psychiatrist could offer was increasing the dosage of the Seroquel. Needless to say,I poltely declined.

I'm glad it helps some people - particularly you, cwcville - but my personal experience of it was grim.

Don't get me wrong, if your diagnosis and symptomology is appropriate, it's definitely worth a shot - but for some it's a nightmare.

 
@BunnyPunch after 3 months Ive just let it sit in my medicine cabinet , it seemed in the honeymoon period it was great. But after my tolerance went up those effects went away with my anxiety still present :(. Now it just makes me feel groggy all day like I'm on cloud 9 (not in a good way). I would have to agree with you 100%. I had the same experience with anxiety too, they just wanted to up the dose. Ugh its frustrating to say the least! 

 
@BunnyPunch@cwcville Similar experience for me.  I was prescribed it to help with Bipolar issues, and my psych was like "oh and it works great for anxiety!"  It ended up not helping with my BP issues but my doc wanted me to keep taking it for anxiety and insomnia.  Cuz of the bipolar issues i was taking 700mg at one point.  Blergh.  I have friends who will occasionally take llike 25mg to fall asleep and it works like a charm, and im on 700mg (400mg ER and 300mgIR daily) and im up to the wee hours.  Was on it for years.  Took about 8 months to full wean myself off.  Was hell but so glad i did.  A number of anti-psychotics (only taken short-term tho) have saved my life, but that is not one of them!  Happy that it works for some.  These days it seems one of the go-tos for docs prescribing for anxiety or sleep.  That and gabapentin.

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢

  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
