In reply to Bad experience with Seroquel(sp?), posted by jay on September 2, 2003, at 5:27:15
Hi Jay:
When I first went to my pdoc for my anxiety, I was subscribed Serequol and Lexapro. First time ever on AD's. Anyway, I took the Seroquel (25mg) and it knocked me out, too!!
I went to the gym right after taking it, and felt totally dizzy and zombie-like. Then, I went home and slept! That was the first and last time I took it. I have a son that I had to be alive for.
Actually, I have taken about 5mg. a couple of times before bed when I couldn't sleep, but that was it because it made me really irritable, too. Now, I just take the Lexapro, and am doing very well with just that.
I don't think you'd want to go up in your dose if 25mg knocks you out. Maybe take a lower dose and increase it gradually??? Just a thought.
Good Luck and know how you feel.
