< Was the panic attack that you had while you were taking Seroquel similar to the one that you had after you'd stopped Seroquel?
yes, also i experienced things in slow motion, like door opening, very scary really

Hi J!
You sound better today, calmer :-)
>but im on zyprexa atm, 5 mg, after 10 days i will increase my dosage to 10 mg
Good luck! I really hope it works out. If not, you can always return to Seroquel. Leponex could be useful if Seroquel doesn't work out.

Jeroen, Try and calm down. You will be okay. Take your meds as the doctor ordered. Try some deep breathing. You have been doing very well the last few days, listening to Scott, and Ed. Fondly, Phillipa

Sorry, Jeroen, but you have already committed to waiting until 2006. :-)
I am not making light of your frustration and pain. I am pointing out how labile one's feelings can be regarding suicide. Please do not act on a momentary impulse to perform an act that is forever irreversible.
Q: What is the purpose of life?
A: Life is its own purpose.
C: You have purpose.
Hang in there. You are doing a good job being persistent in advocating for your attainment of health. Setbacks are often inevitable.

> i still have panick attacks from seroquel withdrawal
You know how some people suggest to take one day at a time? That's good advice, but sometimes doesn't take into consideration those times that are the most intensely painful. For those, you might have to take one moment at a time. To get through even one hour might be a momentous achievement.
I don't know what else to say to you at the moment, except that you could perhaps discuss with your doctor the use of Klonopin. Make sure you tell your doctor about everything you are thinking, feeling, and experiencing.
Take care of yourself.

I guess what I was trying to say is that you are doing a magnificent job of working towards getting well and not giving up.
Klonopin might help you. Ask your doctor about it.
Best wishes.

Hi J,
>i am still withdrawing from seroquel is been 1 week and 3 days now, i still feel high off it, when should it be out of my system?
What do you mean when you say you feel high? Don't forget to answer LOL.
>but read this man, i dont want to get fat on the zyprexa but i dont want this to happen to me
Have you ever gained weight on an antipsychotic in the past? Perhaps you wouldn't gain much weight on Zyprexa, not everybody does, although weight gain in a very common side effect.
If you do gain a lot of weight, you could try orlistat, a drug which reduces the amount of fat that your body absorbs when you eat. Serious side effects are very unlikely with orlistat, although it *will* cause diarrhea if you eat too much fatty food! You have to control yourself and eat healthily!
As you know, amantadine can cause depression and psychosis in some people. For other people, amantadine acts as an antidepressant. When you took amantadine before it seemed to make you feel better, perhaps it acts as an antidepressant for you :-)
Weigh yourself regularly while you're on Zyprexa, unless you're gaining tonnes of weight you won't need a weight-loss drug. Try to eat a healthy diet, ask your mother to buy lots of fruit and vegetables!

i cant stop eating on zyprexa, this drug gives me diabetes for sure no doubt. i was planning taking amantadine with it because ive read it stops the weight gain, but ive read it causes psychosis..
ii felt its anti depressant effect, but i was thinking lot of good things while on it, like there is a cure for everything, i hope it wasnt psychotic, still i had side effects from it, im just worried that it will cause psychosis in me, that would be making my life from nightmare into hell.
yes i felt high on seroquel, my friend also took it and felt stoned
this is the first drug i respond to, but i dunno what to do now, is amantadine safe with zyprexa?

Hi J,
>i cant stop eating on zyprexa, this drug gives me diabetes for sure no doubt.
Are you gaining weight? Measure your weight with the scales and keep a diary of your weight.
>ii felt its anti depressant effect
Perhaps you should take 50mg amantadine if you take it again.
>is amantadine safe with zyprexa?
I don't know of any interaction between them.

You just started it.Ask your doctor about Klonopin to be used in combination with an antpsychotic.
