> I took Buspar (which I had a real bad reaction to) and lorazapam (ativan). The Ativan I had been on for over three years. I, too, find myself "dry" and have to drink a lot more. I hav not had dry skin or lips but I do drink drink drink to satisfy my thirst. I still have the Ativan just in case but find I don't need it. Its nice to know I have it though. Also, I'm not suppose to take the Ativan anywhere near when I take the Seroquel...not suppose to mix...but the Ativan is there if I need it late afternoon when the Seroquel seems to wear off.

> > What benzos did you take, how long, and what doses? I find myself experiencing the same thing. What used to just "relax" me has changed to either making me sleepy, or apathy. I tried seroquel while in the hospital at the same night dose as you but it dried me up so much I couldn't open my eyes. Then when I left the hospital about 5 days after stopping the seroquel my lips puckered up and peeled, and my wrinkles on my face aged me another l0years. Have you had anything like this happen to you? Fondly, Phillipa
