Hi J,
I think you should start keeping a diary (every day) of your eye symptoms while you're taking Seroquel. This way, you can monitor the effect that Seroquel has on your symptoms. Keeping a diary will help you to find the lowest effective dose of Seroquel. What do you think?

Hi,
>i am having too much problems atm, i need to go to the police because of the girl, i called her today and she wasnt happy!
Why do you have to go to the police? Did you call her in the middle of the night? Did you say something aggressive?
Good luck,
Ed.

Are taking the 25mg at night only? If so, maybe split one and take l2.5mg in the morning too. See how you feel. You really need to stop playing doctor and start seeing a real one. There may be a lot of knowledge on PBabble, but we can't talk to you in person and see you. We also are not doctors, and neither are you. You also are reacting too strongly toward this girl. You will drive her further away. Maybe she sees how anxious you are, and this scares her. I know this makes you unhappy that she doesn't seem to want you but give her some time and space. This will enable you to concentrate on number one getting a real doctor, and number two getting a medication working so your symptoms go away and you feel better. I want what's best for you. You still have not told us who you live with and where are your parents?. I care. Fondly, Phillipa

Hi,
Are you going to take 50mg at night or 25mg twice daily? Btw, Phillipa has given you some good advice, listen to her :-)

Hi J,
>my doctor diagnosed me with tardive dyskinesia, not blepharospasm, anyway its a cramp of my eye muscles
Tardive blepharospasm is a type of tardive dyskinesia.
>even if its strabasmus and blepharospasm can seroquel cure the strabismus?
I think Seroquel has a good chance of reducing your symptoms. I can't promise a permanent cure though, the symptoms might come back if you came off the Seroquel.
You are NOT a loser :-)

Now don't go getting upset because Ed said it would not cure you. I have been taking meds for over 30 years, and my liver is fine, and I've not had any side effects that didn't go away. You need to take the seroquel, and you said you saw a doctor. Did he suggest you do anything other than take the seroquel? Did you tell him you were taking seroquel? If you did how much did he tell you to take, and how often? And, no, you are not a loser. If you're a loser than all of us are also. And we don't think we are. Fondly, Phillipa

Jeron, Phillipa, Ed-uk et all --
Failures are not final unless you make them that way. Another good little saying that I like is "Don't quit five minutes before the miracle" Also, I am pretty certain that strabismis is a congenital condition (from birth) that can be corrected by fairly simple surgery. Where as EPS is aquired from some antipsychotics, especially the older ones, and TD while probably permenant is no way near fatal. Benadryl or Vistaril worked for me for EPS --but again, check with your physician first.
Andddddddd.........as for Seroquel, I switched to that from Zyprexa about four years ago and liked it much better. I didn't gain as much weight on it for one thing. I was last taking Seroquel, 50mgm at bedtime but (with my doctors permission)would occasionaly take 25mgm in the AM and 25mgm at bedtime -- worked for me for even heavy duty anxiety... GH

I'm glad you're having some success with the seroquel. Yes, it's time to increase the dose if that's what the pdoc said to do. Fondly, Phillipa

Hi Jeroen,
I'm so glad you posted, I was really worried about you. I think it's time to increase the Seroquel. How are your eye symptoms at the moment? I expect that 25mg Seroquel is too low to have improved your symptoms.

Hi J!
>actually, i feel a minor improvement i blink less
That's great! I think you'll need a higher dose for greater benefit.
>my girlfriend sais i am abnormal, it really hurts, i still love her
You have a girlfriend? I didn't realise you had a gf at the moment. Why does she say you're abnormal?
