How'd you get such a small dose? I take seroquel and it's one of the reasons I feel like I need to die. Horrible drug and I'm stuck on it, along with others. It doesn't even touch my anxiety anymore. Pooped out after three weeks.

 

[lysergamide]

Please i took like 11x50mg seroquel yesterday, didn't calm me down but it sure as hell made me faint when i was 'working'. TS useless.

 

[Nightfoot]

I've taken it before, 200 mg. 6.5 seems like a really small dose. I started out on 50.

OH NO!!! I'm supposed to be taking it for sleep, instead of benzos...Supposed to take 100 mgs. I thought small doses might calm me down

I would advise against it, you might get very dizzy and sick/nauseous and faint several times during the day if you misuse it like i did, and it's not 100 percent assured you will sleep especially if you're a stressed out person, benzos is a safer bet imo...

I'm genuinely curious though, how do you get to 6.25? Do they prescribe it that small?

what makes it so bad?

 

[claracatchingthebus]

I used to find Seroquel really helpful. But then I was involuntary hospitalized and at one point they forced me to take massive, massive amounts of it. The side effects are so horrendous I won't take that, or anything, ever again. I just associate medications with horrible side effects, and even though I know lower doses wouldn't lead to that, I am just unwilling to interact with the mental health industry voluntarily ever again after being forced to take such high doses with excruciating side effects.

I would prefer death to ever interacting with the mental health industry again. ANYTHING is better. I hate them all.

 

[idiotmother]

what makes it so bad?

Maybe it's not bad for everyone, but it's really messed me up. Groggy and even more depressed and I can't just stop taking it. I'm a bizarre, complicated case with meds though. Other people have been fine.

I don't know what to do...I am addicted to benzos and ambien for sleep...Keep oding because I can't sleep without something!! Can't stand the withdrawls! They gave me seroquel to sleep...every night I ponder taking it...Then I take benzos instead!!! I need to CBT!! I CAN"T LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!

I'm in a similar situation, completely fucked up by psych drugs. It maybe helps me fall asleep but it doesn't help to stay asleep and it's affect on me during the day is horrendous. My brain's been "sensitized" by psych meds and I can't just stop taking it, I can't even taper things safely, this is why I'm suicidal. Too many bad and catastrophic choices with these meds and literally no one understands the damage or suffering. But how are you taking 6.25? I thought the smallest it came in was 25mg.
Are you tapering the benzos at all? It sounds like your situation is really terrible and I'm sorry you have to live like this.

I also take psych meds specifically olanzapine and it made my life hell , I'm certain it's the reason I'm suicidal right now , the problem is there's no alternative, I'm stuck with this devil's drug

Another anti psychotic. They are the worst. Seriously going to be the death of me. They must increase the suicidal impulse because it was never this bad before. I never should have gone on it, I'm an utter fool. Are you not able to taper your med either?

I suffer from schizophrenia, there's the ketogenic diet but it's too expensive for me , so basically I'm stuck on olanzapine (I take 10 mg of it daily) , I don't think I can taper the dose because my doctor said to me if I go any lower than this I may experience hallucinations

Yeah I used to take 200~400mg. I developed a tolerance to it pretty quick.

I take 25~50mg now for sleep. Doesn't do anything to my mood anymore, just makes me tired. Terrible drug with terrible side effects.

Fuuuuuck. I used to be prescribed olanzapine and doxepin both. Schizoaffective. Every morning felt like I got lobotomized. Awful stuff.

I do not condone smoking but nicotine has been better for me than the drugs up to now lmao.

Anyone use it to fall completely unconscious?

That's ridiculous. I really don't trust doctors. Ass backwards mental sorcerers is what they are. I also don't know either but I wish you could get a second opinion.

I dont think you will feel much of it. 25mg would be the minimum. I take 200 to sleep.

does it knock you out?

 

[Nemaki Arber]

If I don't take seroquel for a while the small 25mg pink pills is enough to numb me and knock me out, but I also experience restless legs syndrome at very low dosages, psych said I was sensitive to the medication

Though I have to have lorazepam and weed as well to continue the numbing because I build tolerance pretty fast

It helped for a month or so but the sedating effects didn't seem to last.

Damn. I keep trying things to sleep without benzos and ambien...the interdose WDS are killing me. Now they make me more axious! Ans Seroquel makes you hungry..I can't eat until I have taken a whole xanax..my troat won't relax! I just want to be knocked out!!

I am afraid to take it...They gave me high doses in psych ward...I could only sleep 3 hours on it.

did it cheer you up at all?

 

[cowboypants]

I was prescribed 50mg for sleep, and it also works for psychosis. I don't take it continuously now. Even 12.5 mg works for me, but you will build tolerance quickly if you take it daily

and part of my ocd, is that if I wake up ..I need to take something in one second to go back to sleep. That's why I used to take an ambien every hour..I can't be awake for a minute.This is why I want to cbt

Psychiatric drugs don't work for me, I've pretty much tried all the anti-depressant and the anti-psychotics now and none of them have worked, at least I don't get too many side effects - apart from one, Haloperidol.

That drug was a nightmare for me, I was given it in hospital and being an anti-psychotic it actually had the opposite effect and sent me into psychosis.

I tried to ligature myself with my canular and feeding tube while on that and tried to jump up of the window. I was sectioned for a month after that.

OMG! Yu are scaring me! I don't want to go back there. Can they make you ? I don't want to live in the mental hospital

OMg! And I don't want to be homeless...I don't know how to be normal enough to keep going

Hi Ambien Addict,

On that occasion they did force me, but it's one I resent enormously as it was caused by a reaction to one of the drugs, not to my normal mental state.

have you tried to cbt before?

have you tried to cbt before?

I was in the wards..but I didn't do what they told me when I left. was supposed to take certain meds, just not sleep or worry about side effects, etc. I couldn't do that.

Thank you..I'm trying to taper...but have no idesa how to do it right.I am so fucked up now...And nothing works for sleep...so I keep giving up and taking more benzos all night

Then they keep giving me different meds to try...and I go on and off of them, because I hate the way I feel. And my OCD is so bad, that I can't take anything different. Don't know if I can CBT with SN, even, because I have to drink water every 5 minutes, because I am so dehydrated from benzos and WDs, Don't know if I could follow the protocal. Akathesia is so bad...Can't sit still or stop typing until I take a benzo, and force food down....I need to CBT! Can't find a way besides lying in bed and taking tons of pills..

Yeah its almost same for me as 50mg dose that's the max you can go for sleep use afaik. It keeps me knocked for like 8 hours slightly less than the full dose.
