Seroquel severe tachardia warning side effect!
Some people but i think a lot suffer from seizures and severe tachardia on doses above 225 mg of normal Seroquel, not sure about the XR
If you go on Seroquel you need to build it up slowly from 25 mg day 1, 50 mg day 2, etc go on.. if you're lucky after 2 weeks the med start working and you will feel great!
400 mg might be necessairy dose recommended by your doctor, but if you have each night 1 hour SEVERE TACHARDIA, SEDATION and some seizure alike activity i would be cautious, it happened in me, but at this moment i am on a low dose Seroquel 100 mg XR

Bro with much respect,u can state info like glycine is a med,when u see it was re placed to alternative cause it certainly is in no way a drug.
Then report on numerous meds,ones iver just seen myself were lamictal induced psuchosis,geodon,zyprexa,now seraquel.I know a lot of people who find seraquel useful,and at least big pharm went through proper channels to get it on labled for depression.
I know for a fact u dont mean it,but the constant
med info from one side is a scare tactic,for every article you show about seraquel being toxic or dangerous,ill show one it isnt,and ill add ten more showing glycine is no more then a supplement and no way at all a drug,i have a bottle sitting in my room.Sorry man but it a lot of misinfo.

"Seroquel Reduces Opioid Withdrawal Symptoms
Reuters Health
Wednesday, November 23, 2005
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The use of the antipsychotic drug Seroquel (quetiapine) during opioid cessation appears to help relieve the symptoms of withdrawal, according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.Dr. Harold B. Pinkofsky and colleagues from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pennsylvania, studied patients undergoing outpatient detoxification from opioids.
The patients were initially given eight 25-mg tablets of Seroquel. They were told to take 1 or 2 tablets every 4 hours as needed for symptoms of withdrawal or craving. Doses were increased if the drug was tolerated and the patient reported a benefit.
A total of 213 patients were treated with Seroquel in the clinic. Of these, 41 percent completed the program, with at least 5 days of abstinence. After some initial success with Seroquel, the patients were asked to complete a medication questionnaire for quality-assurance purposes.
Of the 107 patients who completed the survey, 79 (74 percent) reported that Seroquel helped reduce cravings for opioids and 52 (49 percent) said that it helped reduce withdrawal-associated anxiety. A reduction in pain was reported by 24 patients (22 percent), and 22 patients (21 percent) reported that Seroquel helped alleviate insomnia. Fourteen patients (13 percent) reported an improvement in appetite.
Four subjects said that Seroquel had no benefit. Seven patients were not able to tolerate the drug because of side effects. The patients received an average Seroquel dose of 206 mg/day.
"It appears that (Seroquel) may play a role in opioid detoxification, although the...mode of action is not known," Pinkofsky and colleagues write. "The results of this analysis suggest the need for further investigation."
