seroquel

[Ambien addict]

Yeah its almost same for me as 50mg dose that's the max you can go for sleep use afaik. It keeps me knocked for like 8 hours slightly less than the full dose.

How fast does 12.5 knock you out?

Did it make you starving, and more depressed?

It takes a more or less the same time 20-40 minutes. But the effect is much less strong.

Starving? The only symptom I have it with is waking up is so damn hard and these meds make my hand like tremble a lot

Thanks. wondering if I can take it with my benzos? I am freaking out. Need something to calm down to sleep.

I split all of my pills with a pill splitter. Maybe I will take a half of a 12.5, and see if It will help me sleep. Thanks. Having a horrible night of axiety!

Don't mix things without a doctor's approval.

I would take 50mg to sleep if you are in a crisis. Not sure how much you were prescribed. If it doesn't work then try with benzos

Thank you. I'm sorry for all of the questions. I am just afraid of this med!

Thank you. I'm sorry for all of the questions. I am just afraid of this med!

I do this all night, every night. I am supposed to take a 25 mg. Doc knows I am on benzos, but not how much. Supposed to take 25 mgs to sleep. But because of my withdrawls from everything else, I can't physically eat, or lie down until I have taken a benzo to relax throat muscles. It's awful...don't want to take the Seroquel, and want to eat, and can't. And I can't stop pacing and typing until the benzo! This is why I want to CBT! Wanted to try sometning different tonight.

 

[idiotmother]

I was prescribed 50mg for sleep, and it also works for psychosis. I don't take it continuously now. Even 12.5 mg works for me, but you will build tolerance quickly if you take it daily

How do you get to 12.5 mg? Are you cutting pills in half? And op was saying something about 6.25mg which is half of yours. I'm on 50 and feel like a zombie, one of the reasons I want to ctb.

It's alright. Prolly see your psychiatrist man sounds like it could help. But those symptoms will go away eventually

Yeah, it's basically 1/4th of my 50mg tablet. It's really tiny af, but it works. I stopped taking it for those reasons too.

I take it only when I don't get sleep naturally, have been doing that for 1–2 months now. I'm also not seeing my doc. I'm trying to get the max with what I have. I saw some people taking low as that on Reddit, then started trying it myself

You're lucky that you're able to reduce it and take as needed, wish I could do that. If I don't take it , my body shakes and panic soars. I want to taper off so badly but i don't think I can without killing myself. Also want to die whilst taking it, so basically stuck. Hopefully you won't need to take it all anymore and you can be free from the poison. Seroquel has many nasty effects on the body, though this is a suicide forum so perhaps it doesn't matter. I hate psychiatry so much.

 

[kitkat9234]

I'm on fucking 400mg of it and it's so awful, Ive gained 30lbs in like 10 months and it gives me chronic dry mouth which makes it hard to eat swallow and feels like I'm suffocating. Was perscribed another med to help with that. Yay more meds. When I first started i was on 50mg then 100mg then 150mg etc. I found it was more sedating on the lower dose. It's an awful med yet I've tried everything else. I want to go off everything but fear I may be worse. My med lady doesn't care. Making a fortune on me alone. Must be nice to be normal and not need meds.

You can slowly taper it off i don't think you wanna do though. My psychotic symptoms came back but that's how im managing since i hate the side effects.

It's a bit hard initially but antidepressants were worse than this. I have gone twice off it now.

As long you aren't using it continuously you can do on and off i think but my sleep schedule is all over the place.

Sorry about your sleep schedule. We take sleep for granted as a natural bodily function until it gets screwed up and then it's hell.
I've been injured from psych meds so my brain is super sensitive to everything, it's really tragic and terrible. No one believes me either and there's no way of treating it. I was on Effexor originally.

 

[onmywaytothebusstop]

did you take it for sleep? Did it help?

does it knock you out?

I sleep very well on 200mg but not everyone does.

Yeah its almost same for me as 50mg dose that's the max you can go for sleep use afaik. It keeps me knocked for like 8 hours slightly less than the full dose.

Naah, you can go higher for sleep. It all depends on the person. I take 200mg

You are risking getting akathisia doing this or tardive dyskinesia. People going on and off can make themselves very sick. It isn't meant to be used like this and can damage the brain. Go to madinamerica.com or akathisiaalliance.com.

 

[Malfunction]

I used to take it.

It did help me sleep. However it caused me to throw elbows and knees in my sleep. I think it maybe caused nightmares, I'm not certain as typically don't remember dreams. I just figured that was why I was reacting that way.

It wasn't something I could live with.

 

[FadeToBlack1993]

Hi,
I was prescribed seroquel for sleeping. I took it only once (25mg) and I was quite dizzy. I haven't taken any other pill ever (benzos or psychotic pills).
I am in a state of depression caused by love (currently in a strange situation with a woman) and I want to know, if I take all the pills of seroquel (60 pills of 25mg) and combine it with Zoloft (14 pills of 100mg) will I be able to die? Supposing that I'm in a remote location without immediate help?
My other choices are hanging but I don't want to suffer the pain. I would like to go more peacefully.

Thanks in advance for any answers

 

[Eriktf]

been taking it for years

200 mg + 150 mg depo everyday

i sometimes use more if needed

it helps with sleep

i can daydream for hours if i dont take them

 

[Unknown21]

I took 300mg yesterday, i felt unreal. And then i went to sleep.

How much do you usually take?

 

[xBrialesana]

Idk but I gained 60 lbs in 4 months on Seroquel
Edit omg, rest in peace Ambien Addict, I didn't know. This one hurts man. I understand more than anybody here I promise, I am a slave to these pills until the day I am able to end my life. I am so so so sorry you had to suffer in such a way. you're free from this now. omg I am so sorry

 

[Unknown21]

How much do you usually take?

100mg.

 

[Daphne]

just took 6.5 mgs of seroquel to see if i could calm down ....does anyone take this?

That's a small dose. If you've never taken it before, it could help. It is calming but also causes brain fog.

 

[traingirl]

How do you get to 12.5 mg? Are you cutting pills in half? And op was saying something about 6.25mg which is half of yours. I'm on 50 and feel like a zombie, one of the reasons I want to ctb.

Twins! I'm on 50mg and it makes me intensely suicidal but I've been on it so long that it would be hard to come off of. I see a new psychiatrist next week to see if he'll prescribe ambien or something else and I can try to taper but I am incredibly sensitive to medication so I am doubtful he can help..

 

[copioushopelessness]

How'd you get such a small dose? I take seroquel and it's one of the reasons I feel like I need to die. Horrible drug and I'm stuck on it, along with others. It doesn't even touch my anxiety anymore. Pooped out after three weeks.

All psyche drugs poop out then cause paradoxical effects after a few weeks or less. They should warn people of this. I hate psychiatry. I hate these meds. I hate how many lives they ruin...

I also take psych meds specifically olanzapine and it made my life hell , I'm certain it's the reason I'm suicidal right now , the problem is there's no alternative, I'm stuck with this devil's drug

Same situation for me.

I'm literally sitting here with so much anxiety after taking meds that were SUPPOSED to help the anxiety. It's so awful. Everyday just gets worse. I feel like I need to die soon, I'm suffering so much. Can't sleep either.

I'm incredibly sensitive too, thanks to Effexor withdrawal and being forced on risperidone. Then seroquel..it's just so horrible, I hate my life now. I love my family but I can't keep going on for them much longer. And no one understands how horrible these meds make me feel and I can't stop taking them. It's a sick, messed up situation. I'm sure you can relate. Feel like I have to ctb soon and I feel so horrible.

How long have you been on seroquel? Every day that I take these meds I feel worse. It's been 8 months for me. I'm not sleeping either. I'm sorry you're suffering. I hate the evil healthcare system that did this to so many people. Every moment I want out of this world.

Since early July ;(. I hate the healthcare system too, they'll never take any responsibility for it either, we'll be labeled as treatment resistant and mentally ill. I feel like someone put a horrific curse on me honestly.

 

[copioushopelessness]

Another anti psychotic. They are the worst. Seriously going to be the death of me. They must increase the suicidal impulse because it was never this bad before. I never should have gone on it, I'm an utter fool. Are you not able to taper your med either?

The doctor told me I was spiraling when I told her it's making me worse.. tried telling her my side effects, wouldn't listen. she suggested UPPING the dose. Even denied it being a dopamine and serotonin antagonist. She told me it keeps the dopamine "in" lied straight to my face or she's completely ignorant.
I told her I wanted to stay on my dose and possibly try to taper and she put it my notes that I won't comply to medical advise to up the dose and add cymbalta. That's all she's ever done is call me non-compliant. I wish I never "complied" was forced on it at the hospital. EVIL, pure evil.
I've tried tapering. I got down to 2.5 mgs of olanzapine and feel no better. They tell me it's a "baby dose" when there is no small dose of olanzapine. 2.5mg still blocks 80% of dopamine at least. Seroquel was what made me go from an honor student to a drop out. That was over 20 yrs ago and still didn't recover mentally. After 20 yrs med free they completely destroyed any progress I tried to make. Most my life I've been suicidal, chronically ill, lazy, fearful and agoraphobic, but no nearly as bad as when I started the olanzapine.

Did you add the Cymbalta? These doctors are abusive gas lighters, I hope they suffer in the afterlife for what they've done to us. My doctor tells me my risperidone dose is super small and it shouldn't affect me like it does. They are so IGNORANT of the dangers of these chemicals. It's absolutely disgusting. I was forced on risperidone in the psych ward and I can't forgive them. They took my daughters mother away. It's so cruel. I'm sorry for your situation too, sounds like we have both suffered too much at the hands of "medicine." You were really med free for twenty years and then forced back on?!

I'm on Trintellix, Trazodone, Buspar as well. My only options feel like CTBing or going to the psych ward so they can pull me off some of my meds but when the 7 days in the ward are up, I'll still face withdrawals. I'm so desperate to be off it that I consider ODing with it because they couldn't possibly put me on the med that I overdosed with, right? But I don't think they would care enough to check lmao. My dad already had to witness my mom suffer because of suicide attempts and meds so I just wish for my death to be quick because I don't want him to suffer and be burdened anymore. I was ready to jump the other day but my SI was too strong.. I know I have no hope of recovery. My trauma and my med history have doomed me.
