My new pdoc upped my Seroquel

by 50 mg today to 150 mg total. I told her I was experiencing an awful lot of paranoia and also having a bit of trouble sleeping (I was up all night last night). The paranoia has been going on for a few months or more. I told her the half mg of Klonipin I took last night didn’t do a thing.

Hopefully the increase should help you get some sleep.

I take 50mg at night.

Is it the extended release one or the shorter acting one? My gf takes 25mg of the short acting one for sleep. But she doesnt have the illness we have. She has bad anxiety and depression.
I think the xr one isnt as helpful as a sleeper but obviously way better as a daily antipsychotic.

Nothing wrong with generics at all!

Most of the drugs in England are generic

Clozapine is not tho as the company does the monitoring from what I can gather with some fancy machine they put the bloods tube

I think I once slept 19 hours on Seroquel like five or six years ago. I think I took a gram or more of Seroquel that night.

Oh I had many days like that when I was on 450mg Clozaril a day

I dislike seroquel. It makes you sleep 12 hours and eat everything in sight, and it gave me twilight hallucinations.

It used to be one of the most commonly prescribed psychiatric medicines globally though. Might still be.
