Wish me luck kids -- to SEROQUEL I go!!!!!

Posted by ace on January 16, 2005, at 20:11:03

OK, Zyprexa has helped quite a lot with the OCD, but I am a fat man....this detracts from my amazingly all-Australian good looks!!!!
Now, I am off to Seroquel land....I know Linkage thinks Seroquel would be a better choice 4 oCD- if you read this Linkage, can u explain why. Also, there are plenty of anecdotes and clinical trials showing the efficacy of Seroquel in OCD.
Doctors are stupid. Second last time I got of Seroquel, I was on Zyprexa for 7 months...so the dumb doctor ceases Zyprexa COLD TURKEY! Within a week, I was in a mess, unable to leave my room with a severe depression.
@nd time, after 12 months on 2.5 Zyprexa, this doctor again stopped it COLD TURKEY and went straight to Risperidone....within four-five days I was completely incapicated with a severe depression with major insomnia...
So I am the doctor now, and this is my schedule....
Week 1. Take Seroquel 50mg nocte
Reduce Zyprexa to 2.5mg every other day.
Week 2. Take 100mg Seroquel.
Reduce Zyprexa 2.5 to every 3 days
Week 3. Take 150mg Seroquel
Reduce Zyprexa 2.5 to every 4th day
Week 4 -- Seroquel 150mg
Zyprexa ceased

Dudes, I would really appreciate any feedback and tips, from anyone...those who have used Seroquel for OCD or any other psychopathology. Antipsychotics work for my OCD as my OCD is so severe it represents as a prodromal psychotic D/O
You guys RULE!!!
BTW, I am going to the Australian open tennis, watch out for the crazy dude with a "I love Nardil" banner!!!!!!!!!!!!!
