Back on Seroquel

So my pdoc put me back on Seroquel. I’ve been psychotic on this med. But he told me it’s the best for akathesia. I’m worried I’ll become paranoid and psychotic. I do have tools under my belt for the paranoia but psychosis takes over and I’m not fully myself. I can’t really help psychosis.

Doesn’t sound promising :confused:

Did he ever offer you something to add on to your existing AP to counteract akathesia ?

I follow @everhopeful. Where I am the doc would try and antiparkinsons med before changing the ap.

I have experienced akathisia on Seroquel, but I am prone to getting that side effect. I do think it has the lowest risk though. I still tend to get some akathisia for a short amount of time after I take my Seroquel each night, but for most of the 24 hours of the day I don’t have akathisia.

I also think I’m prone to this side affect.

I wasn’t my best on seroquel either. I hope you will be OK.
