Hey everyone.
I'm a female in my mid twenties who has been suffering w/ depression for almost one year. It was mainly brought on due to a relationship that has completely taken over my life. Long, long story.
Anyway, I was at rock bottom a few weeks ago and debating suicide when I decided to go get help. I made an appointment w/ a psychologist who diagnosed me as severely depressed, body dysmorphic and pathologically jealous. In turn, the MD prescribed me 50 mg of Zoloft along w/ 25 mg Seroquel even though she said I was not schizophrenic. She said the Seroquel will diminish my extreme paranoia and body dysmorphia. I do not hallucinate or hear voices but I have very distorted thoughts obviously and it's ruining my life.
Anyway, I have been taking my meds like a good girl. I am no longer suicidal and the Zoloft has taken the edge off of my depression. I am continuing therapy as well so I won't have to be medicated forever. I was very afraid to take the Seroquel so I ended up halfing it. I took it along w/ a 1/2 of a .5 xanax (doctor's orders) and was sleepy within 20 minutes. The Doctor got onto me and told me I needed to take one whole seroquel at night for now and she would probably be upping my dosage to 3 or 4 per night. So, I tried taking a whole one and whoa... those dreams! I had the most craziest, vivid dreams ever! I honestly couldn't distinguish what had really happened and what was a dream until about an hour after I woke up. I also could barely drag myself outta bed and had a splitting migraine. Needless to say, I am now just taking a 1/2 of Seroquel.
Is anyone else on Seroquel that isn't exactly Schizophrenic but just extremely paranoid or body dysmorphic?
Please respond. :)

Elli,
Seroquel is indeed used for distorted thinking and although it is classified as an antipsychotic med, taking it or having it prescribed does not make you schizophrenic.
Sounds like your psychiatrist gave you an honest explanation behind prescribing this medication for you. If you are having side effects, be sure and let your doctor know. Sometimes you have to try a few different meds to find out which ones work best for you. Don't be discouraged and keep up the good work.
God bless,
Lea

Seroquil is actually i think a really good med. Don't be afraid of it, it will help you with your problems other than your depression. it is also a wonderful sleep aid. i am on it, i have been on it in the past, and the only advice i can give you is the side effects will go away, and don't be afraid of it! good luck!

I know what you mean about those dreams, arent they awesome! I think the seroquel does cause those dreams somehow, because ive been taking it for a few years now, and when i went off it for one night because i was down, i had extremely vivid dreams..almost like racing dreams that skipped from one dream to another. i have learned to appreciate the dreams, and half of them are psychic, because the thing that happens in my dream usually happens in real life a few weeks later. weird huh? i love having psychic dreams, they forewarn me about things before they happen so that i can change them before they do. anyone else experience psychic dreams with their schizophrenia? luv, libby :) (oh and seroquel IS an awesome help to me, its completely changed my life!) :)

yes i know about the dreams i write them down and cross them off when they come true because nobody believe's me. All of us on seroquel must be pychic we just didnt know it for def it's when the illness comes out it shows.

Elizabethlost,
I just started taking it, and I am also on zoloft for severe depression, (I have suffered it most of my life, and been on a nd off meds). I am not schizophrenic, but I do have the paranioa, and jeaulousy (big time, had this most of my life too)-in fact my psych said I have OCD. I think I am obsessed with the feeling that I don't deserve what I have, and it will all come crashing down at some point. He put me on seroquel so the delusional thoughts would subside and so i can sleep at night. I hope this helps you, if you wanna talk email me.

Hmm I'm quite insecure and used to be very jealous. I am schizphrenic, on Seroquel, Seroxat (paxil) and zopiclone. The thing is, even with these meds I hate the way I look, basically hate myself. The Seroquel has helped a bit, I'm in a realtionship and coping ok, although I don't believe him when he says he loves me and thinks I'm nice looking etc. I've been on a few meds in my time, and one thing I know is that you know better than the doctor what dose to take (usually I need more, not less), so stick with what you think is best. Whenever I start a new med I read the side effects and get scared, but with time worry less and less about them. Maybe the worrying is part of the illnes (anxiety) because I find as the dose is increased, I don't think about it. Well anyway, take care.

carebare1111,
I used to think the same thing, 'why answer my problems with pills', but you know what- I went off of antidepressants for a year, and could not deal with life, I see a psyciatrist also, but without medication I can not function, so I know now that I need it. It took a long time for me to come to terms, and realize that all the talking I can do to councelors, psyciatrist, and spending time in the psych ward were not helping, then when he put me on zoloft-that alone was not helping. As far as the seriquol goes, I was just put on it a week ago, I am diagnosed with sever major depression and OCD, but I have delusional thoughts, and can't sleep so he put me on seriquol along with zoloft. I feel like a completely different person now, and thank god we have treatments like this today because otherwise we would live in our own miserable little worlds or in a state hospital. I wish you the best, I personally had no side effects from the seriquol (except the first night i had restless legs), but I take it right before bed and I am doing fine. good luck
Suzie- I have a question for you, how did you act when you were jealous? I ask because, that is (was)my biggesst problem, and I always just felt nuts with the thoughts that were running through my head, and i would hound my husband like crazy. I just wonder am i the only one that bad oris there others like me.

Thanks for the replies. I did just end up taking the serowuel last night and it made me RELAXED for once. I was on Valium and Klonipin up until yesterday and flushed it all last night. I decided that I would just try it out. In my family there are lots of depression, axiety and even Bi -polar and Manic depresssion. So I decided that I dont want my life to get any worse I want to live. All though I have NEVER been suicidal and have never heard voices or haulisanated (sorry about spelling) I think this stuff may work for me. I ask many people yesterday and I guess pharmacists see it more and more used for anxiety (severe). It is so scary being on a drug that you know nothing about but the funny but not really funny thing is I think hey I was on Valium buspar klonipin and clonidine and Vicoidine to deal with life now that is a deadly combination. SO I would like to continue to talk with people as they take this drug.
Only thing I cant realate to is the jealousy I am very self confidant and I dont get real jealous I wont say I have never been but I dont let it take over me. I figure if a guy really loves you there is nothing to worry about no matter how scandalists other girls maybe. If he cheats then that is your answer. OUT. If he looks look right along with him and dont lie if she is HOT say so I do. BE confidant and dont lie to your self it isnt always what is on the out side a guy sees. There is so much more to it WHAT is inside that a guy will fall in love with. Wow I dint mean to bable on this subject but i did wanna give my advice. Pay it forward is my answers to life. Take care all and thanks for the replies again. Keep smiling.

I was put on 100 mgs of Seroquel for what one doctor calls my "manic depression." She made this diagnoses in all of 5 minutes. She put me on this drug plus a mood stabilizer and Wellbutrin.
What I was actually suffering from was depression and anxiety, I don't think an anti-psychotic is needed. What a joke. The seroqel only makes me tired and run down all the time.
I also had very vivid dreams that were very detailed and went on forever.
The only benefit this drug seems to have is that it puts me to sleep, which I did need at first, but now I'm okay.
I am going off of it because I feel tired all day after taking just 25 mgs at night.

hi guys- i am just a simple boarderline personality disorder and i usually post on the other personality disorders channel however, i liked to look and see waht other folks are up to in the meds isle. I am on xanax 1mg and efforox 75 mg and sometimes i take also oxycontin for a neck operation that i had this year for pain mmgt. I have 50 pounds to lose and the efforxor has made me completely lose my appetite for any foods what so ever. so i think, not pathologicaly speaking here that will enable me to lose the weight appropriately. However, I have alternating either insomnia or oversedating effects from these meds which is rather bothersome to say the least. I have depression also for nearly my entire life since being sexually violated when as a 11 year old. This forever rearranged my emotional landscape and despite periods in my life which i was able to work as a teacher and obtain a masters degree which was very theraputic for me, but since my car crash, i have major issues with driving as i have 11 screws and 4 metal plates in my neck and one more accident will kill me as these things can break off. ok so i am rambling on a little here. i am not looking for pity, as i am trying my best to get by. I am looking for knowledge about other potential meds that may be able to also help me. Am seeing a shrink but he really doesnt know how to treat a BPD/depression....gee i sound trendy here dont i? thanks for reading this post, and i gave up on being jealous for your information, even though i am married not so happliy. I just figure that i have been through so many relationships with this disorder you tend to churn out people, that at this point in my life age 47, am burned out and if wants out then i dont care anymore. mistyone

I am bipolar type1 with mild phycotic features. I was only prescribed seraqual to sleep 'as needed', but it was like 100mgs, so I usually break the pills up into three. however I have taken them whole and felt fine the next day. This makes me wonder if I should be taking it all the time. I am taking lamital 25 but I should be up to like 75 by now I have neglected going to the drs and am running out of meds. and I take effexor 150. I was also taking depakote but I weened myself off it with no drs orders becuase it was making me fat. I am not sure what the seraqual does exactley? I know if I take more than 50mgs that there will be no way I can stay awake. I have also noticed that it makes me very dizzy and clumsey, sometimes it makes me paranoid because it puts me to sleep so hard I am afraid I wont wake up if something happens and I need to get out of the building. so I am confused about this drug I guess. I can say that missing my lamictal or effexor or both is just awfull, after about two days I will feel terrible, dizzy and like my head is having electric shocks, I can litterally feel withdrawal symptoms. I will be afraid if I stop taking these meds, but I do wonder if I need the seraqual regularly or not, it certainly does help ya sleep!

Everyone,
Thank you for your kind replies and support. I'm sorry I have not been online. Please see my post on the depression thread updating how my life has been over the past few months.
I do have a question...have any of you experienced weight gain w/ seroquel? My therapist said that my ten pound weight gain could be a side effect of seroquel...even though I hear so many people experience weight gain from Zoloft (which I'm also on but tapering off).
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Alan, may I ask why you're on seroquel & topamax? How exactly was risperdal different from seroquel? I'm on topamax for migraines. I assume the risperdal is because I'm too sensitive certain noises, light touch, lights, patterns, etc. and I hear unintelligible voices sometimes. It works ok, but I've gained weight on it & I wonder if seroquel might be better???

This is my first post. I believe that my 30 yr old son is a manic depressant. His father was diagnosed as that, and I see the same syptoms in my son. We've seen a phycologist twice and have to see her 1 more time before he can see a doctor because we are going to the county health dept. I am hoping to find out the best working drugs for this, though the help of this forum. Reading the posts has helped me alot. Any advice that you can offer will be appreciated .Thanks

whats up.. same here. 24 years old, borderline, panic attacks, depression, bla bla.. screwed up. right now i am on 150 zoloft and 25 mg seroquel. it took me a month along with pressure from my best friend, boyfriend, and parents before i let that 25 mg go down my throat at night. all i could think was oh great now im what bipolar and schizo too on top of all my other issues. but well i did things my way for a long time, thinking i knew better and surprisingly enough in this small doasge, seroquel has helped immediately. i feel more even mooded throughout the day. it is still a constant rollercoaster and i highly doubt this medicine will be beneficial for everyone but try it, afterall when things get to a certain point, it cant get worse and anything is worth a try if the possibility is an end to your suffering. give it a fair chance just like anything professionals suggest to you, because maybe just maybe you might be wrong and they might be right. maybe you will get lucky and find one of the few therapists that are helpful.. think of what you do have in life as opposed to whats wrong, this has helped me. i think of people with deformaties and people who grew up without parents and other things that i should feel thankful for. somewhere there is a bright side and there are good things about all of you. search for them, and try to find yourself, and look out for YOU, cause YOU and only YOU can solve your problems and search hard for those rare professionals that can help you with the processes and help you to help yourself. sorry for the run ons. thankyou all for making me feel less alone, appreciation to you.

Seroquel is used for bipolar disorder as one of the antipsychotic medications primarily prescribed for those who don't respond to lithium. You probably have some form of bipolar disorder or just depression with psychotic features. Keep taking it and ask your doctor to make sure you've got the right diagnosis. ;)

elizabeth: i heard that seroquel can cause these extremely uncomfortable dreams that you described. i've never taken it, but do take geodon, which i think is similar. i have weird dreams too, not too bad though. have you seen a psychiatrist, rather than an md? just a thought.

Oh my, I don't see how you guys are doing it. I'm on 400 mg of seroquel and I still have problems with paranoia and still can't sleep. I have a friend that's on 800 mg and he can't sleep either. It's like it'll work for a couple of weeks, then after that my body must get used to it or something because it doesn't work anymore...strange. And I've never had any vivid dreams while I was taking it either. Maybe I'm just strange or it's the kentucky air or something. :nono:

my dr. recently put me on seroquel for sleep for i have built up such a tolerance to ativan that he did not want to increase my dose. when i looked it up, it scared me to death. 50mgs makes me fall asleep in about an hour but i wake up every 2 hrs. i do not want to increase this med as i am also diabetic and there are warnings. i find it is terribly constipating too. anyone experience this?

Similar is my case.
I have recently been diagnosed with Schizophrenia. She says I am in the early stages and have the negative symptoms. But she also wonders I am delusional. I do not hallucinate. I don't think I "hear voices." This is a shock to me, as I have been wondering all along if I had just social anxiety and Asperger syndrome. But Schizophrenia?
But I do seem to have the Alogia and that part of Schizophrenia. I often have to mentally pause during conversation in order to formulate responses to questions during job interviews or psychiatric sessions. Slow verbal response time. Slow thinker. My mind freezes, and then starts back up again. Freezes, then starts back up again. Almost like binary code or something. Ones and zeros.
Anyhow, they tried Abilify with me. My main problem is occupational as I don't know how to make a living. I am currently working minimum wage at Burger King. But after trying Abilify a couple times, I developed bad, dystonic reactions. I had to be taken to the hospital and injected with Benadyrl (which worked). So had to stop Abilify becasue of my allergic reaction. My therapist said that rarely or isn't supposed to happen. She mentioned that Abilify is a newer one that is suppposed to have less side effects than some others. But not my case. I got serious Dystonia.
I have been taking Zoloft for a few months for anxiety and depression. Now, they seem to recommend Seroquel, combined with Zoloft for a "synergistic" effect, he said. But he said I do not have Schizophrenia, nor Bi-polar. He says I just have severe anxiety or something like that. So maybe they misdiagnosed me with Schizophrenia? Or do they still think I have schizophrenia, which is why they recommend Seroquel? I do believe that mental health professionals often don't divulge certain psychiatric conditions because a patient may get worse knowing he/she now has such and such a "mental illness". I mean, if I just have severe anxiety, why give me anti-psychotics? Why diagnose me with Schizophrenia in the first place, which she did.
I think Seroquel, like many meds, can have other effects other than primary. But not often. I think if you're subscribed something like Seroquel, you must have some sort of psychiatric condition to some serious degree, like Schizoiphrenia or Bi-polar. It's almost like you have to. They can't just prescribe you anti-psych meds if you do not need them, because, of serious side effects (maybe life threatening). But that's just what I think. So I think if they say you take Seroquel for something like anxiety, I think they're just saying that to make you think all you have is anxiety. But really you have schizophrenia or bi-polar. But they just don't want to formally tell you you have schizophrenia or bi-polar because it is such a severe "label" to receive as opposed to just being told you have "anxiety".
But these are just some of my thoughts.
Bottom line: if you're prescribed seroquel by a mental health professional, I think you must have something like Schizophrenia or Bi-polar.

But they just don't want to formally tell you you have schizophrenia or bi-polar because it is such a severe "label" to receive as opposed to just being told you have "anxiety".
But these are just some of my thoughts.
Bottom line: if you're prescribed seroquel by a mental health professional, I think you must have something like Schizophrenia or Bi-polar.

That's an interesting idea, Guru. I don't think you're right, though. If a person has a serious problem like schizophrenia, then the doctor is obliged to inform them in order for the patient to get the understanding he/she deserves as well as the adequate treatment. If doctors really act as you suggest, I think they're being unethical.

If you feel that you doctor is prescribing you medication for a psychotic disorder but not telling you that you've been diagnosed with that then you need to get a copy of your medical records. I got a copy of my records with my last therapist just to make sure we were on the same page. Luckily for me, we were and everything he told me was in my file. Also, can't you sue your doctor if something was to happen to you because they didn't tell you you were diagnosed with something? I mean, that's dangerous. :nono:

Hello everyone. This is the first time I have ever posted here. My psychiatrist prescribed Seroquel 25 for me to control anxiety. She started me off at 25 mg twice a day and then 50 mg at bedtime. At bedtime it works great, It helps me fall asleep but in the morning, all the way up until about noonI feel so tired and sluggish. It's difficult to do my work as I just want to sleep. During the day 25 mg do nothing so we started me on 1.5 of the 25 mg tablets twice daily but they do nothing. But 2 - 25 mg tablets will make me fall asleep...and I need to be able to function during the day. Does anyone have any suggestions??...as they would be most appreciated.

My therapist says that he's thinking about putting me on an atypical anti-psychotic like Seroquel for my OCD and severe anxiety in addition to my Zoloft, but I don't understand why. Why would an anti-psychotic work on anxiety? emogrip- how does it make you feel better? I'm really scared about taking a medication that's usually prescribed for more severe disorders like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia if I really don't need to...

It helps me because it makes me feel relaxed and I find rest easy after taking it. So...it works great for my insomnia but really does nothing for my anxiety during the day (My psychiatrist says that I too have a severe case of anxiety). She had first tried Ativan but it did nothing. Gatsby, maybe Seroquel will work for you. I am also not schizophrenic nor am I bipolar, but still I am giving the medication a chance in hopes that it might work. I know you're skeptical about taking it...as I was. But when taken in small doses, doctors can prescribe it for off label conditions such as anxiety.

i posted this somewhere else but seroquel is a weirdo drug. and funny someone mentionned the weird dreams!!! i dont remember if i had them while on seroquel but when i forgot to take it i had the craziest dreams that made it hard to distinguish them from reality when i woke up. weird. and seroquel made me a zombie.

emogrip- Thanks for responding. I did some research on Seroquel and other atypical anti-psychotics for their use in treating anxiety disorders, and the research kind of convinced me that these meds aren't something I want to get involved with. I'm glad they're helping you, and I think they probably work best for people with panic disorder, which I don't have. My panic attacks are of the situational/OCD/phobic kind, and I've lived with them ever since I was three. They're miserable, but if I have to take another medication to get rid of them other than my Zoloft, I think I'll just keep on living with them. I get them sooo frequently that I honestly think that I'd worry about not having a panic attack in a certain situation, which has happened once or twice before! My main problem is my OCD, which the Zoloft does seem to help a lot with. Obviously, it doesn't cure it, and neither will my CBT, but they'll help me learn how to deal with managing my obsessions. Still, I read about the side effects of the atypical anti-psychotics, and I wasn't pleased. One side effect of practically all anti-manic drugs is weight gain- one of my obsessions concerns my weight. I'm not anorexic, and I'm at a healthy weight, but I don't want to gain weight because I fear that I'll get heart disease and/or diabetes (comes from the future cardiologist/doctor in me, I guess). I also read that these meds have a high instance of a person developing diabetes, which I certainly don't want to have. Naturally, these things are better to deal with than mania or schizophrenia, but I just don't think I want to take a drug that isn't meant to be used for anxiety. I think it's great that there's another option out there to treat people for anxiety disorders, but I think I'm going to stay clear of it. Thanks again for writing back, though, and I sincerely hope that your Seroquel helps you overcome your panic. God bless! :angel:

I just started on seroquel and was taken off of risperdal. My doctor said that seroquel is not supposed to cause weight gain, whereas risperdal does (no chocolate was safe at home with me and my risperdal). But since the amphetamines for my ADD were making me look anorexic, it all balanced out.
My doctor also explained (and I did research in academic journals to back it up) that the anti-psychotics used to treat schizophrenia have recently been found to be effective for anxiety when taken in small doses.
I haven't noticed the dreams yet, but I just started, and it also replaced the Trazadone I was taking, which was giving me nightmares.
With all of these effects, my doctor always asks, "Did you have this problem/symptom before?" Frequently when I give it serious thought, I did have at least a mild version of the side effect. But I still worry that the mild symptom could become permanently worsened by the medication that brings on the effect in a stronger way.
Right now I really want to go to the beach (less than 2 miles away), and I can't make myself do it.

HI everyone :)
I had the dreams before I started taking seroquel but only during my "open" periods..usually as i was coming down from my mania and before i got too depressed I felt like i was one with the universe. Now I take seroquel at 300 mg per night and yes the dreams have returned. I started out on the smaller dosage and it didnt make me as sleepy the next day but after being hospitalized I have been on a higher dosage. Please dont be afraid to take your medicine. I am a small framed person and I am taking over 100% your prescribed dosage and i havent had any side effects to date. Other than the dreams that I have had before. The only thing I am missing now is the poetry. Before I fell into deep depression i would write poetry for days mostly about the dreams.

I just wanted to add that I have had "the dreams" on and off all of my life. Very vivid, very long dreams that seem more like full length movies. Most of the time I am traveling with a group of people and finding new places. The thing is these dreams are very uncomfortable--not exactly nightmares--just really bothersome as when I wake up I feel exhausted from them. I have had this happen with many different psychiatric meds I have tried over time ( I've been "depressed" most of my life and also have suffered anxiety--mostly in the form of social phobia. I also have post traumatic stress from a bad situation when I was little. Now, two months ago, I've been diagnosed as BiPolar II. After some med adjustments, I am now on Depakote, Effexor and Seroquel. The vivid dreams have returned and I am not happy about it--they are just so dark and strange--they ALWAYS make me feel "icky" and more depressed.
I really think there is a link between depression or BPD and dreams. Or with the REM stage of sleep in which we have dreams. Maybe too much dreaming causes psych. problems or the other way around--but I know there is a certain connection--I have heard too many people talk about it and have the exact same experiences.
I wish I could get rid of these dreams. I have even asked the Dr. if there was anything to make me stop dreaming.
Too much REM sleep is also linked to Narcolepsy because you are not going through all the stages of sleep--especially the deep sleep in which there are not supposed to be dreams at all. Getting stuck in REM can exhaust a person and lead to chronic fatique--and I'm sure many other problems. There really should be studies that investigate the relationship of REM Sleep (dreaming sleep) and psychiatric disorders.
Gotta wait and see how this seroquel is going to work. I was confused too about getting an anti-psychotic med. but, I do have some paranoid thinking.
Best, Anne

Hey everyone.
I'm a female in my mid twenties who has been suffering w/ depression for almost one year. It was mainly brought on due to a relationship that has completely taken over my life. Long, long story.
Anyway, I was at rock bottom a few weeks ago and debating suicide when I decided to go get help. I made an appointment w/ a psychologist who diagnosed me as severely depressed, body dysmorphic and pathologically jealous. In turn, the MD prescribed me 50 mg of Zoloft along w/ 25 mg Seroquel even though she said I was not schizophrenic. She said the Seroquel will diminish my extreme paranoia and body dysmorphia. I do not hallucinate or hear voices but I have very distorted thoughts obviously and it's ruining my life.
Anyway, I have been taking my meds like a good girl. I am no longer suicidal and the Zoloft has taken the edge off of my depression. I am continuing therapy as well so I won't have to be medicated forever. I was very afraid to take the Seroquel so I ended up halfing it. I took it along w/ a 1/2 of a .5 xanax (doctor's orders) and was sleepy within 20 minutes. The Doctor got onto me and told me I needed to take one whole seroquel at night for now and she would probably be upping my dosage to 3 or 4 per night. So, I tried taking a whole one and whoa... those dreams! I had the most craziest, vivid dreams ever! I honestly couldn't distinguish what had really happened and what was a dream until about an hour after I woke up. I also could barely drag myself outta bed and had a splitting migraine. Needless to say, I am now just taking a 1/2 of Seroquel.
Is anyone else on Seroquel that isn't exactly Schizophrenic but just extremely paranoid or body dysmorphic?
Please respond. :)

Hi, AND WOW!!!!!!
All of you are on only 25 mgs of Seroquel? I am not Schisophrenic either, I am in my early 30's and have severe anxiety and depression. My Psychiatrist started me on 50mgs of seroquel at bedtime along with .5 mgs of klonopin twice a day. Then he upped my Seroquel to 100mgs at bedtime along with my .5 mgs of klonopin twice a day. Now I am on 50 mgs of Seroquel in the AFTERNOON, 100 mgs of seroqiuel at bedtime, and he upped my klonopin to 1mg twice a day.
I have never had such an expreince as what I have on the seroquel. I actuallly sometimes have 2 or 3 comepletely different dreams at the same exact time. One could be a nightmare and the other an awesome dream, boith simutaneously! I told my doc about this and he said, he never heard of that, and thought it was kind of interesting. My dreams are also very vivid. At first when I was taking it, it would also make me to where I would be wide awake, but when I shut my eyes, couldnt open them...Would take everything I had to do so, then they would have to roll into the back of my head before I could focus again. My doc has told me he is going to keep upping the dosage of my seroquel little by little until I reach the maximum dose of 800 MGS!!!
Needless to say, I also have a shoulder injury which I am supposed to be taking naproxin 500 mgs,flexerall 10 mgs, and vicodin 5/500 mgs, which I cannot take sometimes because of the seroquel. Half the time I am a total zombie because i have to take all of them, and if not a zombie then dead asleep in the middle of the day lol..
I do feel though that the seroquel is helping me because I don't have all the emotional pain when I am on it usually, expeccailly not mixed with everything else i am taking.
But when I reach the maximum dose of 800 mgs a day he is planning on putting me on something else also, along with that and the klonopin..OMG I am gonna be worse than a zombie, but i guess its better to be drugged up and alive, then comepletely off the meds and suicidal and dead.
I have also learned some coping skills which help with the depression:
When you are full of pain and depressed, and feel like crying your eyes out, step out of the situation, close your eyes and concentrate on nothing but your breathing, relaxing yourself from head to toe, working your way through each body part, let thoughts go through your mind and pass, but go back to concentrating on your breathing and relaxing, pretending your in a place like the ocean or somewhere you would love to be. It is very hard to do sometimes, but you have to dicipline yourself to do this. Put the problem aside until you are strong enough to face it head on. Keep doing this until you dont feel as much like crying anymore, Then keep yourself busy doing something you like to do, putting all of your focus on the project at hand. If you keep doing this and practicing this, the pain will become less and less as time goes on. Praying can't hurt either, whether you believe or not. I hope I helped someone out there with this. But I know all to well what a battle depression can be, and the fortunate ones that dont have it, most of the time do not really understand what it's like.

Hi
I have Bipolar Mood Disorder after I suffered from depression and anxiety. I've been on several different medications, Zoloft, Prozac, Remeron, Topomax etc but we could not find a suitable combination.
I became extremely aggressive and agitated. Everyone was too afraid to speak to me.
I went to a new psychiatrist who changed one of my drugs to Seroquel. I consider Seroquel a "miracle drug". I changed my life completely literally within days. I'm on 100mg per day as well as on Efexor 150mg and Lamictin 200mg per day.
I hardly ever dreamt and for the first few months on Seroquel I didn't dream either. But when it started it was with a vengeance. I have nothing short of night terrors. All my dreams are very dark and sinister. For the first time people die in my dreams. I also find it very real and there have been times where I think back to an event and wonder if I dreamt it or not. It is very real and therefore very upsetting, even when I wake up.
But if I must choose between the dreams and the other positive effects of Seroquel, I'll live with my dreams.
As for having psychic dreams? If my dreams have to come true there'll be havoc!
We did try 200mg at some point but then I couldn't get out of bed or do my daily tasks. I wanted to fall asleep all day.
As for being a drug for psychosis, one finds that many drugs helping for one disorder also help for another. So I would not worry about being on Seroquel but not schizophrenic. For example, many people with anxiety take anti-epileptic drugs.

Hey sparkling dreams I dont have schizophenia but I do have very intense dreams that do seem to true which is actually what brought me to this sight. I just had the wierdest dream it was scary....I had schizophrenia---It was long and progressive one part of it I was in a maze of mirrors attempting to get out each one showing a different reflection of me and every time i thought i was getting out I ran into them toward the end of the dream I was speaking with a completly different voice and I asked the people around me "am I speaking a different voice" in a paniced manner and they just looked at me like and were scared then repeated help me twice and then woke up.
If thats not weird I dont know what is What do you guys think? Because I have vivid dreams and this one about schizophrenia does that mean I may have it?
