BfromNJ Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 Is having the two doses not the same amount every day going to cause problems? I tried to research it on here for information but I couldn't find anything so im sorry to have to ask. Does it make the level of the med uneven in the body? You had mentioned lowering the evening dose but I dont think my system can handle that now so I am concerned .

Yes oh sorry I forgot it. 4 mg at 8 am. I seem to get the dizzyness and disconnected feeling after taking it. Then the tinnitus increases over the hours. Mid-afternoon I get very anxious and agitated, restless and these bouts are on and off , occurring again around dinner time. After pm dose, I get very anxious going to bed and dizzy.

You could move 3mg of the morning dose later by an hour each day until you're taking it 8mg in the evening and 1mg in the morning. I question whether you had interdose withdrawal from Luvox or the prior night's Seroquel wearing off. This is not medical advice.

Sorry. I know you had said give the reduction another week. Just asking why 1 mg would stay in the morning. I am not familiar with the logistics of split dosing, even when I lowered the am.. It confuses me because in my mind it sounds uneven. I always thought doses had to be even. But I dont know how these drugs are released and used in the body. Is there someplace I can read up on it? Could l consider for now taking my pm dose back at 10 pm? Maybe that will help with the symptoms I have after I take it at least at night? Maybe I will sleep through it again. I'll have to be mindful if I get more body jerks again. 9/2018- lexapro low dose few days.11/3/2018- zoloft 2 days 11/7/18 - 11/15/18 - Prozac 9 days, from 10 mg for week, to 20 11/16 inpatient put on Lexapro for a few days, Cymbalta, 2 days 11/24-12/8 - gabapentin 100 mg 3xs per day - a very fast taper 1/7 - tbuspar for three days- blurry vision, jerky eye 1/17/19 - 2/15/19- mirtazapine 15 mg - started taper on 1/30 2/20/19 gabapentin 600 mg. . 12/20- taper finished 2/20/19 - seroquel 25 mg current - taken 10 pm 2/20/19- luvox (generic) 25 mg. 4/6/19 to 18.75 mg .held .

Administrator Altostrata Posted September 27, 2021 Administrator Share Posted September 27, 2021 The reason to take 1mg in the a.m. is in case you do have interdose withdrawal from Luvox. I suggested gradually moving the rest of the dose to 8 p.m. because you insist your symptoms were negligible when you were taking the whole dose at once. Why would taking Luvox with Seroquel at 10 p.m. not be a good idea? Please go back in the 25 pages of discussion here about that. Let us know what you find. This is not medical advice.

BfromNJ Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 I have not posted notes but my daily symptoms pretty much remain the same. Its been difficult to do anything because I'm so exhausted and can't think straight. My sleep is beyond poor now. 2 hours maybe 3. Same daily pattern- dizzyness/disconnect after 8 am 4 mg luvox dose, then tinnitus spikes . Midafternoon anxiety with fear, agitation and restlessness. Happens again in the evening around 6. 8 pm is 5 mg luvox dose. Tinnitus usual severe by bedtime. 10 pm - 25 mg seroquel. Fall asleep but don't stay asleep. Wake 2 or so hours later. Can't fall back to sleep. I have to sleep with a wedge pillow because I feel off laying down all the way. Also getting body jerks although not as severe. I am starting to hear things , like slamming doors and booms in my head, when I am laying in bed trying to sleep. And I have flashes of light behind my eyes. I think this is from exhaustion? And when I am up I cannot tell what is real noise, in my head or my tinnitus. I am extremely bothered by and sensitive to noise. My sleep has never been so poor as in this last month.

Moderator Emeritus Carmie Posted October 10, 2021 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hi BFfromNJ, I’m so sorry to hear that you’re having such trouble sleeping, I hope it improves. Do you wear blue light blocking glasses at night and go out into the daylight first thing in the morning? Do you drink caffeine at all? If you do, probably best to get rid of it altogether? Sugar and processed carbs? It keeps the body ramped up too. These meds certainly play havoc with our bodies.

BfromNJ Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 I probably don't belong here anymore because I feel I've failed. But I have had successful taper with you all so im not a total loss. I had a complete break and lost it. Lack of sleep got to me. And raging tinnitus. I had alot of trouble for some reason after the luvox split dosing. I dont know why. Guess the adverse reactions once it was split showed during. And my sleep greatly worsened. I went to hospital. It was too much on my family and they were scared for me. They stopped my seroquel, it wasn't working for sleep. Yes, I know this was real stupid. I own that. But I wasn't sleeping with it. I had risterol temporarily. Now we are trying to figure out how to restore my sleep. My luvox was increased back to 25 mg. Yes, another mistake. I'll have to stay here for now, even though I know I'm having issues with this med now as well. They had nothing smaller. I'm trying my best right now to accept that I made these mistakes and have to live with the consequences. I am ashamed. I've really upset things. I'm working through this. But, if anyone has it in their heart to help me id be beyond grateful. I attempted to reinstate seroquel after being off for 15 days to the 25 mg. Its been 4 days (2 days at 25, 1 day at 6.5 and 1 day at 25) . I tried the 6.5 with zero sleep. During the 15 days I had a terrible time with pgad , insomnia again, disconnection, tinnitus. I feel it may be working against me now, but also that the withdrawal may have brought the pgad back. So im afraid if i drop the pgad may worsen. The doctor says to reduce to 12.5 mg. Just hoping someone can just tell me if I should hold at the 25 sre if it settles or reduce. I've never reinstated before, so I actually didn't read up about reinstating a small amount till now.

Moderator Emeritus ChessieCat Posted November 2, 2021 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted November 2, 2021 For me, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that I don't know what I could suggest that might help. I cannot speak for the other staff. I do suggest that you keep daily symptoms notes for yourself so that you might be able to see any patterns that occur. Possibly rate your symptoms so that you can be a bit more objective. Doing this will help you take control of your own situation, instead of relying on other people, either here or in the medical arena. It can be overwhelming to do this yourself, but it can be very empowering. I had to do this myself when my doctor did not connect my increased blood pressure to the doubling of my Pristiq dose, which I eventually connected to serotonin toxicity. I also suggest that you do a drug interaction check if you haven't already done so. Drug.com Interactions CheckerMedscape Drug Interaction Checker Another thing I think you should do is start at the beginning of your topic and read through the whole thing. Specifically look at the suggestions made by Alto and the suggestions she made to a particular issue. You might be able to learn more about what to look for with your symptom notes and what changes, if any, you might make to improve things. This is what you you will be trying to see from your notes: On 9/28/2016 at 4:49 AM, Altostrata said: Are your symptoms worse at any particular times of day?

Administrator Altostrata Posted November 2, 2021 Administrator Share Posted November 2, 2021 Do you feel better taking 25mg Luvox and whatever else you're taking now, @BfromNJ? I cannot follow what you've done with Seroquel. You went to the hospital, they stopped it because it wasn't working. Why did you reinstate it? Are you still taking it and Restoril?

Drug.com Interactions CheckerMedscape Drug Interaction Checker Did you do this? Your Luvox dosing has always been a mystery. Please keep daily notes of times o’clock you take your drugs, their dosages, and your symptoms throughout the day. We need to know how you feel before and after taking each drug, and your symptoms in between. Post 24 hours of notes at a time in this topic, in a simple list format with time o’clock on the left and notation (symptom or drug and dosage) on the right. This can show if your symptoms are adverse effects from one of your drugs. This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.
