FeralCatman Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 The following link is to a blog called 'Mental Health Daily'. This person writes pretty balanced articles on psychiatric medications and treatments and cites references in the articles many of which are from the national library of medicine. This article is on the potential for brain damage from taking Seroquel. It also offers possible solutions to help offset the damage. It also has links to the animal studies that showed brain volume loss in pretty much any animal it was given to. This is one of the first articles I read that lead me down the path that I am on. https://mentalhealthdaily.com/2015/07/03/antipsychotics-and-brain-damage-shrinkage-volume-loss/ 1 Current Psychiatric Medications Paxil 10mg daily (a.m.) 2017 - Present Carbamazepine 400mg daily (split half a.m. and half p.m.) 2011 - Present Ativan 1 mg daily as needed 2018 - Present Recently Stopped Psychiatric Medications Seroquel - Tapered from 700mg to 0mg From April 2018 to August 2021 - Final Dose 6.25mg - In Recovery Past Psychiatric Medications From 1994 to April 2018 - Depakote, Lithium, Risperidone, Xanax, Lamotrigene, Olanzapine, Lorazepam, Welbutrin, Trazodone, Oxazepam, Gabapentin, Abilify, Topiramate, Prazosin, Ambien (See Attached Spreadsheet And Seroquel Tapering And WIthdrawal Summary) Current Non Psychiatric Medications - Levothyroxine 88mcg (a.m.)-Vitamin D3 2000 IU (p.m.)-Crestor 5mg (p.m.)-Fexofenadine 420mg (Half in a.m. and Half in p.m.) -Metoprolol 25mg (p.m.)-Azelastine Nasal Spray-Triamcinolone Nasal Spray-Ipratropium Bromine Nasal Spray Other - Fish Oil Twice Daily-Multi-Vitamin (p.m.)-Vitamin C 1000mg Daily (a.m.)-Saline Nasal Spray-Benadryl-Salsalate 750mg twice daily PRN, Diclofenac Gel on affected joint PRN-Alpha Stim-M electrotherapy device (CES for sleep/anxiety/depression - TENS Pain)-Magnesium Glycinate 50mg-Quercetin 500mg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
