Seroquel XR - Took One Pill - 24 Hour Acid Trip...

Posted by TTimes on August 27, 2007, at 1:52:02

Well it's been hard to find any information on my experience. I'm Googling my questions many different ways and coming up with very limited information.

I've been off meds for a year and a half. I was on Effexor XR 150MG for a good 6 - 8 year run.

Anyways, I went to my old doc and told him of my problems and he prescribed this BRAND NEW DRUG to me. CVS and Wallgreens didn't even have it in stock because it literally had just come out and they had to order it for me.

My Experience:

I took the pill (one 200MG pill of Seroquel XR) When I went to bed and that was very very early in the morning at around 5 A.M. I work at a club on the weekends until the wee hours of the morning. I had trouble sleeping and never went into a deep sleep. After not getting a sound sleep I finally just got up for good around 12:30 P.M. in the afternoon. I immediately realized this wasn't going to be a good day ahead of me and I also had to work at 7:00 P.M. that night.

The Effects:

My balance was terrible for one. It felt like I was drunk and my coordinaton was severly hindered. I felt like I was stumbling forward and backward as I walked up the steps. My mind was in slow motion and it was apparent that a terrible reaction to the medication was taking place as I fumbled to just keep my composure. I first saw my mother and tried engaging in a conversation and quickly realized that I was having an impossible time stringing words together and my slurring was uncontrollable as I tried to muster up concentration to complete my sentences. As I tried to think it was like everything was in slow motion in my mind. I just couldn't speed my mental process up no matter how hard I concentrated. All motor skills including my fingers were slowed down to a snails pace. Just trying to play my piano or type was a slow mission with many mistakes. My tongue and mouth were also completely dry and drinking water was only a temporary fix. I thought that if I had some food in my belly that it would helt to get the chemicals out of my system faster. Well this was just wishful thinking because that didn't help. I knew at that point that I would have to ride out the storm within until this 24 hour poison left my system completely. I tried to call out of work (With A Flu Excuse) but they couldn't find coverage for me (I'm the DJ in this club and I need to Emcee all Night Long and Talk Constantly) so it was obvious that I would have to show up and perform my duties (With Expectations of how I always perform.) I immediate thought that taking a nap would maybe help. I slept until around 5:30 P.M. and awoke to only feeling the slightest bit better. I went to work and it was a nightmare experience. I pulled it off........barely. I just told people that I had a 24 hour flu and had taken DayQuil. I used the Allergy Migraine Headache and I also said I had a Sinus Infection. After what seemed like an eternity, I finally finished up work at around 2:45 A.M. and was only just starting to feel slighty better around 12:30 A.M. or so. I went home, went to bed, woke up, and felt great. The crap was out of my system and I felt relieved to say the very least.

Well there it is: My Terrible Clash with Seroquel XR.

I obviously will never take another pill of this medication or any other Anti-pychotic drugs. I couldn't imagine having to put up with that for another minute. I am not willing to invest any more time on a something that whacks me out that much. There is no telling that the side effects would have went away and I wasn't going to wait and see it they ever did. My brain chemicals are obviously oppositely slated from the one's that this drug is supposed to act upon.

The Bottom line is that this drug induced Psychosis as opposed to reducing Psychosis.

Questions:

Has Anybody Ever Had This Kind Of A Reaction To This Medication?

What Caused These Reactions?


Thanks,

Tommy.............
