3 am, at first i had sedation but now i am awake. working behind my computer, thinking about the past and future
im not happy about my past and sure not happy with my health wich is the future.i hope god will give me another chance. i will stay good to other people. i rather die then do something wrong
i am punished by god, 1. the eye spasms and uncontrolled movementsthe woman i called by pfizer support, i asked her for help and she said soooooo like a wich to me GEODON??? yes tardive dyskinesia has been reported using this drug, enjoy your day!
my freedom not going out on my age is pure hell!!
instead of going out with friends, i am condemned behind my computer, wich i also enjoy but i cant sit 24/7 behind my computer i dont want that!!!its schizophrenia sh*t, words sais it all isnt it? in 30 years from now on we all talk different, we all have zyprexas with no sedation and almost no side effects but how will psychiatry make money then?? aha
in 30 years from now on we will all say you know that medicine GEODON, yes i remember like a 20% who took it was good with it, the rest developped movement disorders and tardive dyskinesias

Take the other half of the seroquel. In my opinion only, that was not enough. You only slept a few hours didn't you? That is what your pdoc prescribed isn't it? If not, ignore me. Didn't you say he said 25mg to start? Do you live with your parents? Are they there? Do they know how you feel? Wake them for support.Fondly, Phillipa

Hi! I'm glad you're ok :-)
You'll need to work your way up to a higher dose very gradually. The drowsiness may decrease over time. You need to find the lowest possible dose of Seroquel that will supress your eye problems.

Hi Jeroen,
Usually about 300-450mg per day, occasionally up to 800mg/day may be necessary. Seroquel is usually given as two doses per day, one in the morning and one in the evening eg. 150mg in the morning and 250mg at bedtime. Because Seroquel can be sedating, the larger dose is generally given at night. The evening dose should be taken approximately 12 hours after the morning dose.
Some people take Seroquel once daily, as a single dose at night. I think that it's generally best to take it twice daily if you can. If you find it very sedating, despite increasing the dose gradually, it might be best to take it as a single dose in the evening. To minimise daytime drowsiness, the evening dose should be taken a few hours before you go to bed eg. at about 7.00 pm. Try to take the Seroquel at the SAME time(s) each day.

i slept very bad tonight, just woke up 9 AM
i was thinking of the weird taughts i get when taking Seroquel, at that time i was taking Sipralexa, i once combined GEODON with SIPRALEXA
BAD IDEA
AFTER 2 DAYS, I GOT PSYCHOTIC SYMPTOMS, MY STUMACH LIKE THERE WAS THUNDER IN IT, IT HURT SO MUCH
never combine an anti depressant with geodon, better DO NOT TAKE GEODON!!!! SAFE YOU LIFE!!! HIGH EPS and possible EPS SYNDROME :(

Hi J,
>i slept very bad tonight, just woke up 9 AM
I'm sorry top hear that. You'd probably feel better if you went to bed earlier! I would also feel better if I'd gone to bed earlier :-)What time did you take the Seroquel? Are you going to take 25mg again tonight?
>i was thinking of the weird taughts i get when taking Seroquel, at that time i was taking Sipralexa
Perhaps the Sipralexa caused your strange thoughts. What do you think?
>i once combined GEODON with SIPRALEXA
Did you add the Geodon to the Sipralexa or did you add the Sipralexa to the Geodon?
Have you ever taken Sipralexa on its own? Did it cause stange thoughts? Lol, don't forget to reply- you often do!

Hi J,
>i took sipralexa for few months with no strange taughts, just when i added the geodon and seroquel sone nasty things happened to me!
Perhaps the strange thoughts were due to a drug interaction.
>he doesnt want me to call him again
Why not? I don't understand. Maybe you could call his mobile instead of calling the house phone, then you wouldn't have to speak to his sister.

Hi J,

He doesn't sound like a very good friend if he won't speak to you.
>everybody doesnt like me anymore except few good friends
I like you :-)
>as far as side effects atm, drowsiness not much, and sedation (not much)
It's really good that you're not having any major side effects. When will you increase to 50mg at night? I think you should increase in a few days time.
