> Jay was given 50mg with 15cc of chloral hydrate and xanax, and valium. Woke in four hours my pattern and they repeated the 50mg of seroquel. Then They call on the loud speaker get up and get to breakfast you have l5 minutes. There was a time on very low doses of meds think .5 of xanax where I fainted for no reason during the day. An MRI showed a microadenoma on the pituitary no one will read it four years old now but makes me wonder if the inability to regulate thyroid is related to this. Was asked if I lactate and don't so told not to worry about it ignore it it's nothing. Sorry got off topic it was on my mind. Love Phillipa
Jan, maybe you can metabolize that, but you do realize that for a number of people Seroquel, chloral hydrate, Xanax, and Valium all together could put them in respiratory depression. That's an amazing amount of CNS depressants, especially the chloral hydrate.
I know for different people it differs, and how long one has been exposed and used to such agents -- the amount of CNS depressants that I can tolerate to a point, is probably more than others, but that has to do with a lot of factors including exposure, metabolism, weight, etc. So I suppose I'm projecting a bit.
I can't believe a hospital would do that. Its no wonder that the combination of CNS depressants plus the orthostatic hypotension of Seroquel would make you feel faint as your pulse would be VERY low."They call.."? Loudspeakers? Is this a regular hospital or something out of some movie, pardon me, I am really not trying to mock the situation at all. I hope you do not take that personally. That obviously did not sound like a good situation. However, minus the other medications, Seroquel itself at 50mg, and they should have allowed you to rise carefully, especially since you're older and may metabolize it differently. There's basically no AP effect at that level. Its all in the antihistamine load, and with your organic condition [below] it wouldn't surprise me double dizziness.
Microadenomas are benign so they aren't expected to spread and therefore a doctor wouldn't do a followup MRI normally because so. I suppose if you were really worried you could have one done but I don't know that your insurance will cover it.
However microadenomas -can- cause such things as, exactly, dizziness, headache, and vision issues, and possible hormonal issues which can be measured with a test. This doesn't mean it will cause all or any of those issues, but I know you have had pituitary issues.
