So seroquel has crapped out on me

Unfortunately this can happen I think. Just feels like a sugar tablet now. Don’t even get sedated - nothing.

My nurse phoned me today and was worried so has sorted out a phone call with my pdoc tomorrow. I really appreciate that.

Tbh I feel very undermedicated. I hope we can work something out

I have the same problem. Things only seem to be effective for a while, and then they just stop

Hoping you can find a drug to replace it soon

That is really strange to me, I am ultra sensitive to Seroquel. I took a dose of zyprexa my pdoc gave me as a prn and I woke up feeling better but it causes too much weight gain to use regularly. I am on Latuda as my anti psychotic and mood stabilizer but the zyprexa can have an immediate effect in people. It makes me feel normal but I can’t use it every day because of hunger and sleepiness.

So we decided to up the dose of the depot by 20%. We are meeting again in 6 weeks and will reappraise the situation then.

My doctor has kept me on a subclinical dose of Seroquel.

I hate Seroquel. I hope you get something better.

I hope things work out for you, seroquel gave me issues a few years after i started taking it.

Hope it works @Jimbob. Wishing you the best.

During the years the effectivity of my meds have increased. 10 years ago I got 300 mg Clopixol depot weekly. 30 mg Clopixol as an emergency and 240 mg Ziprasidone by mouth. Now I’m only on 500 mg Clopixol every 3 weeks. 160 mg Ziprasidone by mouth and 400 mg qutiapine by mouth.

My abilify is seemingly getting weaker. However, I am refusing to increase at the mo, and will see if symptoms subside naturally. I just wonder whether we are periodically hit by waves no matter the dosage.
