Even though I have tried regular seroquel and did not get sufficient sleep. But funny things happen with these meds. You never know before you try.
Also I’m tapering down on zyprexa instead of quitting or taking very low doses which is a mistake I made before.
I’m at 7.5mg zyprexa now. So I’m figuring around 5mg zyprexa is a good place to start for the taper.
Best of luck with the changes…
Thanks. I took out 1 month vacation to give myself some time to try and figure a way to get from zyprexa to seroquel with my doctors consent.
It’s good to have time off to try and get this going. I burned myself before and dropped out of work. But now I don’t have that stress to deal with.
Got a doctors appointment in the middle of the month in case I hit a dead end and we need to reconsider the situation, find a med for sleep mainly. Gabapentin has been mentioned…
Why do you want to stop zyprexa?
Don’t feel good on it(side effects). Seroquel is better for me.
Might need to give it a chance
6-8 weeks they usually say
does seroquel has depot injection?i wasn t know that
No, they are depot tablets. They are released more slowly than standard seroquel.
Is that seroquel XR ?
Yeah, it’s the same thing. They call them depot tablets over here. I forgot that they are better known as xr.
