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

Would love to Babble you but you don't receive mail. So, if you don't mind, what sort of medical professional were you? Just curious. Fondly, Phillipa

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?

Don't be scared Jeroen. But, seriously, have you gotten a pdoc yet? You need a doc to monitor any side effects, and someone who can Rx the proper meds and doses for you. Remember we care. Fondly, Phillipa

Hi Jeroen,
>hey, how are you?
I'm not well, I've been ill in bed for a few days. I couldn't even get out of bed yesterday, I have a virus. I'm a bit better today though.
>can i take 75 mg tonight?
How many days have you been taking 50mg?
Have you had any side effects from this dose?
Have you noticed any change in your eye symptoms since you've been taking 50mg?Ed.
