I have just started on quetiapine 300mg a day and feel absolutely terrible? |
Issue I can't stop sleeping and my muscles are twitching all over. Feel like a zombie. Anybody else on this drug and experiencing the same? Best Tip I take quetiapine - and when I started on it, I too was very drowsy and like in another world. Spaced out. I was told that this would happen and when the blood serum adjusts, the drowsiness goes. However, I was started on 25mg three times a day - a lot lower than you're taking. I asked my doctor about the drowsiness and they gave the (unusual) explanation that the side effects of quetiapine are *more* when you take a lower dose. The higher the dose - the less the side effects. I must say, I had difficulty believing this. In any case, I suggest you go back to your doctor and ask them about reducing your dosage. Sounds like they threw you in the deep end. By the way, I have found this drug to be *excellent*. Others I'm not taking any meds right now, but it sounds to be pretty serious, in my opinion. I would talk to the doctor that perscribed it and see if it is considered a "normal reaction" or possibly if the dosage is too high, it can be lowered to a point where your body will except it better. get back to your doctor and ask for a change in meds, you're experiencing extra pyridimal side effects. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/drugi... I have started taking 25cl of whiskey 10 doses before going to bed.I feel absolutely great and I get a good nights sleep. <>This is NOT a nice medicine: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/drugi... Maybe you should ask your doctor for something else. i(46) have been on this for 4wks(150mg) it does get better though i still suffer leg pains from time to time. Ask yor doc to reduce your dosage. Though i suppose it depends why your on it mine is lack of concentration one minute then hyperactive the next.Good luck hope all goes well |
