Have you ever heard voices?

Hopefully the Seroquel will help the paranoia. Tell me what you decide to do :-)
Kind regards,

Remission of Tardive Dystonia (Blepharospasm) After Electroconvulsive Therapy in a Patient With Treatment-Refractory Schizophrenia.
Journal of ECT. 21(2):132-134, June 2005.
Sienaert, Pascal MD *; Peuskens, Joseph MD, PhD +
Abstract:
Tardive dystonia is a movement disorder dominated by involuntary muscle contractions that may be tonic, spasmodic, patterned or repetitive, associated with the use of dopamine-receptor blocking agents. Most of the patients with tardive dystonia present initially with blepharospasm. Treatment of dystonia is generally disappointing. A patient with chronic paranoid schizophrenia who developed blepharospasm is described here. Blepharospasm remitted after a course of electroconvulsive therapy. Remission was sustained until 3 months after stopping maintenance electroconvulsive therapy.

Hi J!
>WHY ISNT HE GIVING IT ME TWICE DAILY?
He probably thinks that it will reduce the daytime drowsiness if you take it once daily at night. After you've been on Seroquel for a few days, you could start taking it twice daily instead.
Kind regards

PS. I wouldn't have ECT either. I just thought it was interesting how the TD disappeared.

i once read TD was gone taking 400 mg, no sign of it
but what if i feel ok at 100 mg of seroquel and TD is less? should i go upto 400 mg or higher
i think seroquel can surpress the TD
if its not helping ill try Clozaril
ive read it can reverse TD in 6-12 months
its worth a try!

Hi J :-)
>but what if i feel ok at 100 mg of seroquel and TD is less?
Stay on 100mg!
>should i go upto 400 mg or higher
No. You should take the minimum dose which reduces your symtoms.
>its worth a try!
I agree :-)

im still withdrawing from the zyprexa 10 mg until the seroquel has been build up, so basically im taking 2 anti psychotics
i have a question for youim taking 50 mg seroquel in the AM, and 100 mg at night, in 6 days from now it will be 200 mg
is the 50 mg dosage in the AM enough, i dont want any withdrawal symptoms
BTW IM STARTING TO FEEL GREAT!!!

I should hope not lol :-)
I hope things go OK next week at the hospital. You've been going every week for a while now. Any idea how long this will continue? Are you having therapy?
