I CT as well and I made it. You will be ok! For me I was just tired of trying to fix a pill problem with another pill! So I said told myself come hell or high water I was gonna get through it, or die trying. And 28 months later I'm still here!

You might take a look at this:

 

 

[Altostrata]

@Pit138 you increased to 250mg Seroquel perhaps a month ago. Did this solve any problems for you?

 

What is your objective here as a member of this site?

[Pit138]

@Frogiethank you

[Pit138]

@Altostrata I dont know what you want to know from me. It sounds for me that you are angry? How everyone here i want to taper off. My psychiatrist increased the Seroquel. That was Not good. Because i get heartracing 30 Minutes after taking it.

[Pit138]

@Pit138Please start a drug and symptoms journal. Here's what we need over the course of 3 or 4 days.

In the course of discussion in your Introductions forum topic, you may be asked to keep notes on paper of your daily symptom pattern, including when you take your drugs, their dosages, and any symptoms. We ask this because there may be something we can do to reduce the symptoms.

 

What we need to see for every single day over several days is what symptoms you get before and after you take your drugs. If you're not taking any drugs and have withdrawal symptoms, we still need to see your symptom pattern throughout the day:

 

The time of day, dosage, and severity of symptoms are essential information. Include

 

- Time and dosage for all drugs taken throughout the day, psychiatric and non-psychiatric.

- Following each dose, note any symptoms. If you are having a reaction to the drug, it may take hours for a symptom to show up -- that's why we ask you to keep notes all day long.

- If you're not taking any drugs, your symptoms throughout the day.

- Your sleep pattern. Since so many drugs disturb sleep, if you find you're waking in the middle of the night, it could be from a drug you took earlier in the evening. If you're not taking any drugs, there may be ways you can improve your sleep.

And so forth. A diary, in chronological order, looking something like this:
 

Example:

DATE:

 

6 a.m. Woke with anxiety
8 a.m. Took 2.5mg Lexapro
10 a.m. Stomach is upset
10:30 a.m. Ate breakfast
11:35 a.m. Got a headache, lasted one hour
12:35 p.m. Ate lunch
4 p.m. Feel a bit better
5 p.m. Took 2.5mg Lexapro
6 p.m. Ate dinner
9:20 p.m. Headache
10:00 p.m. Took 50mg Seroquel
10:20 p.m. Feeling dizzy
10:30 p.m. Fell asleep
2:30 a.m. Woke, took 3mg Ambien (NOT "took 1/2 tablet Ambien")
2:45 a.m. Fell asleep
4:30 a.m. Woke but got back to sleep

I can't answer any of your questions without you first answering @Shep and @Altostrata so we can get notes on what is going on.

[Pit138]

P.S.: After taking seroquel im so sedated that i cant walk... But no sleep with it..

[Altostrata]

I don't understand why you continue to increase Seroquel if it's not helping.

If you would like to stay on it, that's your choice. Please let us know when you want to reduce or taper your drugs. We don't cure insomnia here.

[Pit138]

I dont do it by myself, t he psychiatrist increased it. I wrote it already. And i wrote too that i will taper off. What do you want to know from me??? Idont said that i will stay on it. The mod told me to stay on it till i am stabile again! The psychiatrist said that heartracing  is only a sideefect that will be get away. But it ist still there

[Altostrata]

If you're getting an adverse reaction to 250mg Seroquel and it isn't helping you to sleep, the logical thing to do is reduce it. As it's been more than a month since you increased from 150mg to 250mg, decreasing will need to be gradual. You might try decreasing to 225mg and see what that does.

 

We cannot assure you that gradually decreasing Seroquel will help you sleep. It's very possible you're taking TOO MUCH Seroquel, zopliclone, and Topologie, whatever that is.

 

If you'd rather follow your psychiatrist's instructions, you can do that. We're not going to debate with you about it.

[Pit138]

Thank you for writing out your drug and symptoms journal.

 

Going forward, please add what dose you are taking.

 

Do you always take Zopiclon at 3:45 in the morning? 

 

What is Topologie? 

[Pit138]

Oh sorry, i forgot to add i Take a zopiclon ans seroquel at 20:45. That was an error from t he Handy Tastatur... You see the dosages in my Signature. I often take a second zopiclon wenn im awake. 

 

Do you think i can heal altough i Take seroquel and zopiclon? It feels like that drugs disturbed t he healing process.

 

And do you Knie someone who Bad severe Insomnia too? I dont found someone...

 

 

[Pit138]

P.S.: im wondering if i should reinstate again - can you tell me how much the damaged is when i tapered too fast with my old reinstatement? That was a big error because i was already in WD when i tapered. It was the worst Thing i ever had. Since then im disabled and bed ridden. First i worked, laugh, the WD wasnt so Bad. I could Live a normal Life.

 

 

 

 

[Altostrata]

So you're not interested in reducing Seroquel?

Hi,

...

 

Is it possible to Recover while you take other meds?

 

 

Absolutely, i had a heart palpitation residual from zyprexa for 3 years, slowly went away after being completely off for 6 months but while still on prozac.

 

Also had a tremor on awakening from zyprexa 3 years, went away slowly but steadily after a year, on both prozac and klonopin, the brain adapts.

[Pit138]

Hello,

 

for the second time: i DONT want to stay on Seroquel!

 

I DONT want to stay on Zopiclon.

 

I like to taper off. Im in horrible Withdrawal from Sertraline. Is it possible to taper of Seroquel and Zopiclon while i am on heavy Withdrawal????

 

Is this Clear for you? I think we have a little chaos..
