Right before christmas my Pdoc raised my serequel by 100mgs...By the next week, I had flown off the handle! And i'm still really struggling- A LOT! I went into a mixed episode full of hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia (I don't know where that one came from- i'd never experienced it- let alone as bad as i did)! They reduced the sereq. back down, except it hasn't made it go away. Unfortunatly, both my psyche Dr's decided to leave town (ironically- at the same time)!! NOT GOOD!
Luckily, before my Pdoc left town, he perscribed me haladol, incase i didn't get better by yesterday! Obviously i didn't. So now I started it tonight-- hopefully it works!!!
Does anyone experience med affects like that??? Do any of you have the halluc. and stuff??? If so, please share! I feel very alone in my psychoticness!
Signed, Alone and marbless! (AKA: I lost my marbles)---it's a joke in my family at the moment, sorry- I tend to try to make fun of myself, so i don't get hurt with stigma...it works, some anyway!
I have never experienced an increase in paranoia or hallucinations with increase in Seroquel-I am on 150 mg now and was on alot more in the past. I will let you in on a secret-that Haldol your doc gave you will knock the paranoia into next Tuesday if your not careful. I had a bad night several years ago, and my neighbor and mom had to call my psych doc at HOME and get her advice on how much Haldol to dispense to me-they gave me 6 mg my mom told me, and I was down for the count.
Thank you for replying- that means a lot to me! So, you got even more paranoid???? Or did you fall asleep? lol- I'm leaning towards you getting more paranoid- but i'm not good at reading in between the lines, LOL! If you could please clarfiy that- that'd be great! :)
So far it's okay, still haven't slept with the drug though. I'm still paranoid i guess....i dunno. Thanks for replying! ~amyystar
I hate, and I mean HATE anti psychotics. 100 mg of Seroquel landed me in Hospital, The 25 mg I take at night, has turned my brain to mush. Can't walk, can't talk, feel COLD, and sick. Doc thought I was entering a mania, that is why it was presccribed. (I can't see eithre) Every thing is blurry. This ddrug, these drugs do not agree with me. PS- I like to poke fun at the disorder too. Why not, have fun with a disorder that is so bloody awful?
My girlfriend was given seroquel and she took it twice. She now has involuntary muscle movements and it is been on the 5th day or so. The doctors at the hospital talked down to and were laughing at this. They started moving around like her. She may have TD for the rest of her life. The irresponsible, money-making pharm industry does not care about you. They care about their bottom line.
Hi veryworriednow, I'm really sorry to hear that your girlfriend is having these complications from the seroquel. I take it, and don't have any complications like that. I've read other members posts that have been through something similiar with other medications. The involuntary movements did eventually subside for them.
Wishing you and your girlfriend the very best, and I've never seen a doctor behave that way before...I'm speechless.
Serequl- an adverse affect
