Perhaps that was my own oversight, as I took the entire 25 mg dose instead of just half. I will attempt to stick to the smaller dose next time to see how I respond. As for my annual vacation, I might try going without any medication at all, though I harbor some doubts about that. Since you are clearly the expert here, I looked up the coverage for Quetiapine under Medicare, and it is quite expensive. There is even a note stating it is reserved specifically for patients who haven't responded to other treatments. I assume I won't need Medicare to provide special authorization for this, will I?😠
Glad you posted here, otherwise you would've been a total zombie by morning. I know plenty of people who get prescribed Q-pin or Serq, and they all say the same thing: "I've got a few boxes sitting in the cabinet, but there's no way I'm taking that anymore." And these are people who are already dealing with all sorts of different pills.
Yeah, it's expensive, and doctors hand them out like they're candy.
Anyway, let us know how it goes once you've been on it for a bit; you'll probably see I'm right. For me, it used to cause this intense dizziness and just leave me feeling totally weak.
Kenneth Scott41 said:If I take 100mg of Seroquel in the evening, I always—and I mean always—sleep right through until about 1:00 PM, much like 😁. I'll try setting an alarm for 10:00 AM, but even that isn't enough to actually get me moving; it just kind of jolts me awake for a moment before I drift right back into a deep sleep. Getting up any earlier feels like a total impossibility. It honestly takes me at least an hour just to feel remotely human again.🙂
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
I think you and I are pretty much on the same wavelength here.😁 😍
The funniest part, though, is the reason my doctor prescribed the Q-pin.
She knows I’m actually trying to put on some weight, even though my mental health is totally stable.😁
I find myself reflecting on the recent discussions regarding pharmacological interventions and their long-term implications for cognitive stability. It is my firm belief that we must approach these chemical adjustments with a heightened sense of caution, moving beyond mere symptom management toward a more holistic understanding of neurological health. While some may advocate for rapid shifts in medication, I have always favored a more measured, deliberate pace to ensure the mind remains unclouded by unnecessary fluctuations. kaže: Sanval isn't working for me anymore; or rather, it’s working in ways it absolutely shouldn't. I'm sitting here wondering what kind of quality hypnotic I should ask my doctor about at my next check-up. When I can't sleep, I honestly feel like I'm losing my mind—the next day is always a complete write-off.😠I plan to consult my doctor regarding Dormicum. I have heard quite a bit about its efficacy, and my intention is to take it immediately before heading to bed. I want to avoid that restless, aimless pacing around the house that I used to experience after taking those ineffective doses of Sanval.🙄
Yes, Dormicum will certainly knock you out, though you should be careful because the dosage here in the States is often around 7.5 mg, whereas our local supply can go up to 15 mg. I would suggest starting with just half a dose first. If that doesn't do the trick, it's unlikely any other hypnotics available alongside Zolpidem—such as Zan, Cerson, or Fluzepam—will work for you either. I have heard that some people find relief from much lower doses of antipsychotics, perhaps between 25 and 50 mg of Quetiapine or Seroquel, but I don't have any personal experience with that, and frankly, I would prefer not to rely on antipsychotics just to fix my insomnia. You really need to sit down and have a serious conversation with your doctor about this, but definitely ask about the Dormicum and let me know how it goes. What does your current medication regimen look like? On Monday, I am planning to ask my physician if adding Elicei Valdoxan in the evening might help; it's an antidepressant, but apparently, it can also address sleep issues. I'll see what they have to say.
The thing about Quetiapine is that it knocks you out in about an hour, but then you feel like you’re walking through molasses the next morning. You just can't get moving.
My blood work looks fine but my urine test results just confirm those bacteria were present, exactly like I thought they might be my primary care physician thinks that might have been what was making me feel so off and by "off," I mean I was dealing with some dizzy spells and feeling genuinely sick...
so she put me on some antibiotics to target those rare bacteria but what does "rare" actually mean in this context? which ones is she talking about?
It’s likely just because they haven't switched over to the payment system based on the enforcement order yet, though the funds are already set aside for it.
I went in for some blood work and a urine test last week. 😁 Most of the results were fine, but my urinalysis flagged bacteria as "rare." What does "rare" actually mean in this context? Also, do I really need to start those antibiotics? My doctor already wrote me a prescription, but I’m just not feeling 100% sure about it myself. 🤷
Timothy Wood38 said:I'm on Zane too, and personally, it works great for me without any side effects. I take 20 mg, which definitely does the trick. That's pretty much the ceiling for the dosage.
Back in the day, I tried taking Xanax to help with sleep, but none of those pills ever really did anything for me. In a word: total garbage.
She should just open a bank account. Have her toss a few bucks in there, just for the sake of it.$3.25 Then, once she realizes they've frozen her funds, she can scramble over to a local credit union before payday hits. I mean, nobody actually said the garnishment would kick in instantly, right?
Kimberly Lopez17 said:I get that they'll freeze it... but surely they won't freeze the whole amount?? Part of it is technically "protected"... what I'm really wondering is whether they'll actually notify my wife that her account is blocked—or does she just have to wait until her first paycheck fails to hit before she realizes she needs to go open a protected account?
If she doesn't set up a protected account, they'll likely freeze the entire balance.
You can find much more detailed info over on the Legal Garnishment thread.😁
Once she realizes the account is frozen, she should probably hurry down to Chase to get that protected account established.
Kenneth Scott41, are those Seroquel pills actually messing with your head? It’s just that feeling where you start sensing you're getting weaker or physically run down.
Jamie Richardson said:It comes down to low self-esteem. Taking care of plants and pets isn't some Herculean feat; it's a basic responsibility that people all over the country handle without breaking a sweat. If I feel like this is somehow beyond me, it just means I have an incredibly low opinion of my own competence. It's a lack of confidence, plain and simple.
I honestly think you've got a point here.
In this whole situation, I find myself feeling a little much the same.
I’d much rather just listen to what others have gone through It wasn't even like I was trying to take charge or anything; she actually mentioned she was thinking about offering it to me if I wanted it 😁
To take Seroquel or not I’m really trying to lose some weight, but I have zero interest in becoming dependent on these pills The addiction factor seems to kick in so fast—has anyone here actually dealt with this personally? I'd love to hear some real-world experiences.
Dana Reyes5 said:You can grab some outlets with built-in timers. With just two or three of those, you could set your TV to kick on at, say, 5 PM and shut off around midnight. You could also cycle a nightlight on and off every half hour or so. Or even schedule your washing machine to run at certain times so there's occasional noise echoing through the house. You might even crack the blinds just a tiny bit to let some light spill out from inside. The whole point is really just to make it look—and sound—like someone is actually home. I think you can also set up call forwarding to your cell phone, since burglars often try calling a landline first to see if anyone answers. There's plenty of other tricks too; it's really all about using your imagination.
🤣 Well, this isn't exactly a masterclass 😁 but it's definitely good to keep in mind. 😬
After spending quite a long time diving deep into yoga and meditation, I’ve finally realized that it just doesn't sit right with me Don't get me wrong—the physical exercises are fantastic—but once we hit that meditation phase? I'm completely checked out
I started overthinking everything—analyzing every little statement, my own thoughts, myself Some people really thrive on that kind of depth, but for me, it’s just not working at all
If I kept dedicating myself to analyzing every single "why" and "how" behind every little thing, I'd probably end up in a psychiatric ward
Sometimes, honestly, it’s better to just stay on the surface😁
