Hi J,
>my doctor diagnosed me with tardive dyskinesia, not blepharospasm, anyway its a cramp of my eye muscles
Tardive blepharospasm is a type of tardive dyskinesia.
>even if its strabasmus and blepharospasm can seroquel cure the strabismus?
I think Seroquel has a good chance of reducing your symptoms. I can't promise a permanent cure though, the symptoms might come back if you came off the Seroquel.
You are NOT a loser :-)

Now don't go getting upset because Ed said it would not cure you. I have been taking meds for over 30 years, and my liver is fine, and I've not had any side effects that didn't go away. You need to take the seroquel, and you said you saw a doctor. Did he suggest you do anything other than take the seroquel? Did you tell him you were taking seroquel? If you did how much did he tell you to take, and how often? And, no, you are not a loser. If you're a loser than all of us are also. And we don't think we are. Fondly, Phillipa

Jeron, Phillipa, Ed-uk et all --
Failures are not final unless you make them that way. Another good little saying that I like is "Don't quit five minutes before the miracle" Also, I am pretty certain that strabismis is a congenital condition (from birth) that can be corrected by fairly simple surgery. Where as EPS is aquired from some antipsychotics, especially the older ones, and TD while probably permenant is no way near fatal. Benadryl or Vistaril worked for me for EPS --but again, check with your physician first.
Andddddddd.........as for Seroquel, I switched to that from Zyprexa about four years ago and liked it much better. I didn't gain as much weight on it for one thing. I was last taking Seroquel, 50mgm at bedtime but (with my doctors permission)would occasionaly take 25mgm in the AM and 25mgm at bedtime -- worked for me for even heavy duty anxiety... GH

Would love to Babble you but you don't receive mail. So, if you don't mind, what sort of medical professional were you? Just curious. Fondly, Phillipa

I'm glad you're having some success with the seroquel. Yes, it's time to increase the dose if that's what the pdoc said to do. Fondly, Phillipa

Hi Jeroen,
I'm so glad you posted, I was really worried about you. I think it's time to increase the Seroquel. How are your eye symptoms at the moment? I expect that 25mg Seroquel is too low to have improved your symptoms.

Hi J!
>actually, i feel a minor improvement i blink less
That's great! I think you'll need a higher dose for greater benefit.
>my girlfriend sais i am abnormal, it really hurts, i still love her
You have a girlfriend? I didn't realise you had a gf at the moment. Why does she say you're abnormal?

Don't be scared Jeroen. But, seriously, have you gotten a pdoc yet? You need a doc to monitor any side effects, and someone who can Rx the proper meds and doses for you. Remember we care. Fondly, Phillipa

Hi Jeroen,
>hey, how are you?
I'm not well, I've been ill in bed for a few days. I couldn't even get out of bed yesterday, I have a virus. I'm a bit better today though.
>can i take 75 mg tonight?
How many days have you been taking 50mg?
Have you had any side effects from this dose?
Have you noticed any change in your eye symptoms since you've been taking 50mg?Ed.
