Quetiapine Health Feed

Dear Harish,
i don't understand your question clearly. But i can understand your doctor's struggle to help you with combination of antidepressants. Your recent symptoms are not due to mirtazapine. Either they are due to withdrawal of quetiapine or your own disorder recurring at this time again. However please discuss clearly with your doctor your concerns.

It seems like you have a co occurring delusion about another person being in your mind who is controlling in nature and this is in addition to the obsessions and compulsions about thoughts. This brings us to the question of whether your problems are being adequately treated although you are on medications. In addition you also mention that you have a medical problem i.e. Irritable bowel syndrome. If you are having problems with all these issues and need a second opinion about medications, you ar...more

Hello,
you need to be very careful about risk of recurrence of symptoms in pregnancy as it is a high risk state for patients with bipolar disorder. Quitipin 50 mg per day is too low a dose. You should consult online or consult with your psychiatrist about pregnancy.

Leave all these medicines. Take nux com. 30 two drops at 7 p.m.& kali phos. 6x 2 tablets at 8 p.m. Daily. In every morning take anacardium 30 two drops daily. Let me know the condition after taking the same for a week.

Dear lybrate-user,
sleep problem may be due to your mood disorder itself or may be an independent disorder. Sleepiness, dizziness, unable to exert physically, binge drinking alcohol, etc may be due to depression that has come up. Please request your psychiatrist about adjusting your quetiapine dose. Try to reduce and stop clonotril - not a tablet for bipolar disorder. You need adequate dose of encorate chrono to avoid such mood change in future.

Dear lybrate-user,
quetiapine is a weak antipsychotic. Along with dicorate it will stabilise the mood better for future episodes. Trazine s is a more powerful antipsychotic. Usually it starts working early. You can increase to 3 times a day too. But there are other powerful antipsychotics like risperidone and olanzapine - they act better and faster. Please discuss these with your doctor. If aggression is a problem, please admit him. Either injectable antipsychotic or ect will be added.

Quetiapine is an antipsychotic with marked sedative effects. Losing balance may be attributable to quetiapine, but without knowing the full background, I cannot confirm. Pacitane is used to treat tremors induced by drugs or other diseases such as Parkinsons disease. Benfomet is vitamin B1 so it cant cause these symptoms. Please give us full details of your father's condition so that we can help you better. Please bear in mind that excessive sleepiness and dizziness in the elderly is very dangero...more

No sir you cannot experiment on medicines like this. You need to meet with a psychiatrist and according to his diagnosis s/he will prescribe suitable medicines and dosages to begin with. There is no doubt that this disease is debilitating but you must persevere not only with the medication but also with counseling.

Insomnia is not an illness by itself-usually is a symptom of some underlying disorder/ problem which needs to be managed.
Symptomatic treatment with sleeping pills is not a solution. Please meet an experienced psychiatist
