Unfortunately, Seroquel is not working for me either. I tried it before and the sedating effect was way too strong and it didn't stop the visual hallucinations and it made me feel sluggish.
In the end I think I'm just going to have to accept those visual things and learn to live with them. I mean its not too life-impairing as I usually know whent the stuff I see it not real or it disappears as I get closer or read it again. I'd rather see a dragon walking down the street than not see it and be a zombie with mini-seizures all the time.
> Hi:
> One thing regarding atypical psycho-med., Zyprexa is quite powerful one, ... then some saying 'A king of Atypical' in good and bad ways, ... maybe. Because, your symptons is not severe enough for Zyprexa, you might get adverse effect rather than benefit from this med., that could be in your case, ... just in my guess, though.
> Another option, ... if you prefer/need to take atypical med., Seroquel is one of the weakest atypical meds among atypical psycho-meds. Then, on your next visit to your pdoc., try to ask this med., Seroquel(sp?) that also is good for 'sleep well' throughout the night, in my knowledge.
