If it's that bad, you have to at least try it. Are you getting paranoid? That would be a sign too that you need an antipsychotic. Fondly, Phillipa

i went to the hospital today, im very weak atm, when i am walking to the corridors i feel like i am going to die, my eyes feel weird, i feel bad
so in other words not good at all. i dont like the hospital
my friend got away because he got injections every month of IMPROMEN (bromperidol) for like 3 years, he got muscle spasms also
he asked the doctor i see for help, you know what he said, ill prescribe you some anti depressant, my friend left the hospital for that reason
8 months later i didnt live actually, he was alone at his appartment, suffering from his muscles, been sedated, barelly can walk, hoping it would go away.
at first when my eyes were making aggressive uncontrolled movements i went to the doctor and he said tardive dyskinesia, i said he must be kidding, i read about it on the internet and never known it would happen to me
not with a new drug at lowest dose, new anti psychotic means very low chance of this...
so i was convinced these side effects was temporary and not permanent just EPS, but ive readon geodon cause 50% who take it movement disorders EPS sydrome yes tardive dyskinesia. but halt, i dont just take a drug , ive read 10 positive reactions to GEODON.. YES 10 NOT EVEN 1 negative.. so I WAS 100% UNAWARE OF THIS DANGER AND TIME BOMB I WAS LIVING ON...this drug was hell for me, i felt like garbich on Risperdal high dose, but this drug didnt even gave me tardive dyskinesia an older drug YES!!!
those new chemical engineered drugs like Abilify, Geodon gave me freaking tardive dyskinesia (Abilify) quit it on time
when i didnt had this problem, i woudnt listen to my friend, i said sh1t i hope i will never get this sort of problems.. some taught said yes you will... AND BELEIVE IT OR NOT NOW I HAVE IT!!!god has punished me in several ways, i wont accept it. no matter what, i suffer 6 months live like i dont exist anymore.. i try stay positive but h8ll. when i called Pfizer support some girl said GEODON in a nasty tone to me
like its satans drug... hahaha well satan i shall come and pay you a visit very soon
GEODON IS TRULY EVIL!!!! making a drug where a cure will be over 20 years is definatelly eviland i propably think it has to do with money.
GEODON = expensive

Hi J,
Your current psychiatrist doesn't sound very good at all. I think you need to find a new psychiatrist at a different hospital. You need to find a psychiatrist who will take your TD seriously, you need to find a pdoc who you trust.
Are there any other hospitals nearby? You need a hospital with a psychiatric department.
Best,
Ed.

Hi Jeroen!
>the seroquel tablets have arrived today in the mail
Are they the 25mg tablets?
>i will start taking them tonight!
Will you take half a 25mg tablet? I think that would be best. Please don't take any more than that tonight. Don't forget to answer this question!!!!!!!!
>but i have decided if from now on and within a year i will take overdose sleeping medication
What if it takes longer than a year to find an effective treatment? Don't give up, you're still young! You have your whole life ahead of you, when you find the right treatment you will have a good life.
>I was in love with a girl i really liked, she liked me too. she was SOOOOOOO BEAUTIFULL... SHE WAS A FRIEND.
She sounds lovely :-) You're a nice person, good things will come to you.

Hi Jeroen,
>i want to take 25 mg, i dont see a problem?
Since you're not being monitored by your doctor, I think it would be best to take half a 25mg tablet for the first two nights, just to be safe and to let your body get used to the Seroquel. Then you can increase the dose to 25mg. Please tell me what you decide to do.
>i miss her for 4 months now, she not said a word to me
Why don't you call her? She might be waiting for your call.

Hi,
>ill do that take half tablet but its seroquel fumarate
Yes, Seroquel contains quetiapine fumarate. I suppose you'll need to use a knife to cut a tablet in half.
>i taught those 25 mg tablets were much bigger, its so small is it safe?
The 25mg tablets are small. I just looked in a database and it said that the UK Seroquel 25mg tablets are only 6.1 mm across. In the UK, the 25mg tablets are pink/red. On one side of the tablet it says 'SEROQUEL 25' and the other side is blank. Do your tablets look like this?
>what side effects do i need to be carefull about
Common side effects are drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, increased heart rate, and abdominal (stomach) pain.
Serious side effects are rare. Serious side effects of Seroquel are fainting, neuroleptic malignant syndrome and a reduced number of while blood cells.
> thanks for your help
You're welcome :-) What do your tablets look like?

Don't be afraid. I took a total of l00mg in a night in the hospital. The only side effect was feeling "drunk". Didn't you take a very high dose of seroquel once already? Nothing happened to you did it? I know, you hate Geodon, but it's the past. Now, it's time to "move forward". A year is a long time away, and Ed is right you are Sooooo young. Just think of all the new treatments that are being discovered. Take one half of the pill tonight. I thought you had a doctor? How do you get a prescription without a doctor? By the way, the drunk feeling went away in a few hours. Fondly, Phillipa

3 am, at first i had sedation but now i am awake. working behind my computer, thinking about the past and future
im not happy about my past and sure not happy with my health wich is the future.i hope god will give me another chance. i will stay good to other people. i rather die then do something wrong
i am punished by god, 1. the eye spasms and uncontrolled movementsthe woman i called by pfizer support, i asked her for help and she said soooooo like a wich to me GEODON??? yes tardive dyskinesia has been reported using this drug, enjoy your day!
my freedom not going out on my age is pure hell!!
instead of going out with friends, i am condemned behind my computer, wich i also enjoy but i cant sit 24/7 behind my computer i dont want that!!!its schizophrenia sh*t, words sais it all isnt it? in 30 years from now on we all talk different, we all have zyprexas with no sedation and almost no side effects but how will psychiatry make money then?? aha
in 30 years from now on we will all say you know that medicine GEODON, yes i remember like a 20% who took it was good with it, the rest developped movement disorders and tardive dyskinesias

Take the other half of the seroquel. In my opinion only, that was not enough. You only slept a few hours didn't you? That is what your pdoc prescribed isn't it? If not, ignore me. Didn't you say he said 25mg to start? Do you live with your parents? Are they there? Do they know how you feel? Wake them for support.Fondly, Phillipa

Hi! I'm glad you're ok :-)
You'll need to work your way up to a higher dose very gradually. The drowsiness may decrease over time. You need to find the lowest possible dose of Seroquel that will supress your eye problems.
