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

i feel a bit sedated, i cant imagine taking 100 mg if not 200 mg again, its pure hell, i cannot function, im sedated like hell!!!
the first day i feel better of any neuroleptic i take like Zyprexa, Seroquel, Abilify, Zeldoxbut that feeling goes away very fast!

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.

Hi Jeroen,
Usually about 300-450mg per day, occasionally up to 800mg/day may be necessary. Seroquel is usually given as two doses per day, one in the morning and one in the evening eg. 150mg in the morning and 250mg at bedtime. Because Seroquel can be sedating, the larger dose is generally given at night. The evening dose should be taken approximately 12 hours after the morning dose.
Some people take Seroquel once daily, as a single dose at night. I think that it's generally best to take it twice daily if you can. If you find it very sedating, despite increasing the dose gradually, it might be best to take it as a single dose in the evening. To minimise daytime drowsiness, the evening dose should be taken a few hours before you go to bed eg. at about 7.00 pm. Try to take the Seroquel at the SAME time(s) each day.

That's good! If you increase the dose gradually, hopefully you never will :-)

BAD IDEA
AFTER 2 DAYS, I GOT PSYCHOTIC SYMPTOMS, MY STUMACH LIKE THERE WAS THUNDER IN IT, IT HURT SO MUCH

Hi J,
>i slept very bad tonight, just woke up 9 AM
I'm sorry top hear that. You'd probably feel better if you went to bed earlier! I would also feel better if I'd gone to bed earlier :-)What time did you take the Seroquel? Are you going to take 25mg again tonight?
>i was thinking of the weird taughts i get when taking Seroquel, at that time i was taking Sipralexa
Perhaps the Sipralexa caused your strange thoughts. What do you think?
>i once combined GEODON with SIPRALEXA
Did you add the Geodon to the Sipralexa or did you add the Sipralexa to the Geodon?
Have you ever taken Sipralexa on its own? Did it cause stange thoughts? Lol, don't forget to reply- you often do!

Hi J,
>i took sipralexa for few months with no strange taughts, just when i added the geodon and seroquel sone nasty things happened to me!
Perhaps the strange thoughts were due to a drug interaction.
>he doesnt want me to call him again
Why not? I don't understand. Maybe you could call his mobile instead of calling the house phone, then you wouldn't have to speak to his sister.

Hi J,

He doesn't sound like a very good friend if he won't speak to you.
>everybody doesnt like me anymore except few good friends
I like you :-)
>as far as side effects atm, drowsiness not much, and sedation (not much)
It's really good that you're not having any major side effects. When will you increase to 50mg at night? I think you should increase in a few days time.

You're going to have to get a doctor to prescribe Seroquel for you soon. You can't keep buying it over the internet, it's too expensive.
