I'm sorry mama, that is hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-take-seroquel#post-2468992 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 21:39:24 +0000 ladybee 2468992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: I'm only taking half of a 25mg pill and it's still making me feel drunk and dizzy when I wake up to feed my newborn. That combined with the constant headache make me feel like it's not going to work for me. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-take-seroquel#post-2468968 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 21:03:49 +0000 pastemoo 2468968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: It's normal. It knocks you right out. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-take-seroquel#post-2468930 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 20:20:00 +0000 ms.line 2468930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: I didn't have headaches - it was a while ago, but I remember I was so frustrated by the extreme drowsiness because I responded really well to it otherwise. Sounds like a pretty lousy side effect for you, though - I'd def ask your doc about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-take-seroquel#post-2468906 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 20:00:07 +0000 ladybee 2468906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.line: did you have headaches at all while on it? It's the only change I've made and I've had a constant headache, all day, no matter what I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-take-seroquel#post-2466916 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 18:34:10 +0000 ms.line 2466916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: Of course - and feel free to wall me anytime. I know how rough depression and anxiety can be - thinking of you and hoping you find the right combo soon. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-take-seroquel#post-2466612 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 15:32:14 +0000 Eko 2466612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH takes it at night to help him sleep...among other things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-take-seroquel#post-2466604 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 15:26:01 +0000 ladybee 2466604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.line: thank you. Your continued understanding of all my issues the last 10 months has been very appreciated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-take-seroquel#post-2466345 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:48:35 +0000 ms.line 2466345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on Seroquel for a while. It helped my anxiety a lot but I did always feel like I was in a sleepy daze. I eventually stopped it because I just couldn't function during the day. I think drowsiness is a common side effect, and the fact that you've already felt an improvement is probably a good sign. But if you just feel too "out of it" even after a couple weeks don't be afraid to ask your doc to try another med. Bedtime klonopin is what ended up working best for me. Good luck! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-take-seroquel#post-2466310 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:30:00 +0000 ladybee 2466310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: thank you they want me to start taking half a pill. Hopefully that fixes the problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-take-seroquel#post-2466253 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:11:02 +0000 Silva 2466253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have personal experience, but have worked with clients who take seroquel, and sedation is a commonly reported side effect. I hope you can find the right medication for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-take-seroquel#post-2466134 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:30:07 +0000 ladybee 2466134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My PPD/PPA after DS2 (who's 2 weeks old today) has been horrible. I've been seeing a psychiatrist since I was 16 weeks pregnant since my depression and anxiety were so bad. My OB took me off some meds at the end and it has turned out to be a horrible idea. </p> <p>At birth, I was on a low does of AD and have had it upped twice. On Monday, my psychiatrist added 25mg of Seroquel once a day, at bedtime. The first night it knocked me on my ass, the second night wasn't as bad, and last night was a little better. The issue is I do not hear my newborn crying, like at all. Maybe it'll get into my dream but when DH tries to wake me, I'm in a daze, almost like drunk.</p> <p>I've emailed my doctor to see if this is normal or if I could cut my dose and see improvement. I was just hoping someone here has some experience. </p>
