In reply to IM GETTING ON SEROQUEL!!! TO ED URGENT, posted by Jeroen on June 25, 2005, at 6:59:19
Hi J!
>WHY ISNT HE GIVING IT ME TWICE DAILY?
He probably thinks that it will reduce the daytime drowsiness if you take it once daily at night. After you've been on Seroquel for a few days, you could start taking it twice daily instead.
Kind regards
~Ed
PS. I wouldn't have ECT either. I just thought it was interesting how the TD disappeared.

i once read TD was gone taking 400 mg, no sign of it
but what if i feel ok at 100 mg of seroquel and TD is less? should i go upto 400 mg or higher
i think seroquel can surpress the TD
if its not helping ill try Clozaril
ive read it can reverse TD in 6-12 months
its worth a try!

Hi J :-)
>but what if i feel ok at 100 mg of seroquel and TD is less?
Stay on 100mg!
>should i go upto 400 mg or higher
No. You should take the minimum dose which reduces your symtoms.
>its worth a try!
I agree :-)

I should hope not lol :-)
I hope things go OK next week at the hospital. You've been going every week for a while now. Any idea how long this will continue? Are you having therapy?

hi im in therapy, the lecithin dont give me any improvement, id like to take manganese and see what it does with my TD, can you help me please with the manganese?
tomorrow im getting 200 mg of seroquel then next week 300 mg
One doctor has found that administering the trace mineral manganese (15 mg per day) can prevent the development of TD and that higher amounts (up to 60 mg per day) can reverse TD that has already developed.

Sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to redirect follow-ups regarding manganese to Psycho-Babble Alternative. Here's a link:

Hi J!
How are you feeling?
>is it ok to take 50 mg in AM and 300 mg in PM or is 50 mg not enough and will throw me into terrible withdrawal
Yes probably :-) It's common for people to take a small dose in the morning and a large dose in the evening.
Kind regards

Hi J!
What dose of Seroquel are you on? Are you taking it in the morning and in the evening?
>it appears not to be working....
Sometimes people feel more paranoid while they're reducing the dose of an antipsychotic eg. Zyprexa. Perhaps you're having some withdrawal symptoms. I think you'll feel better soon :-)
