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 :-)

Try skiping the zyprexa for a day and see if you get better?

In reply to Re: URGENT, posted by Jeroen on July 17, 2005, at 8:12:13
Hi J,
You need to reduce the Zyprexa gradually to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Go to 7.5mg for a while, then 5mg, then 2.5mg then take a small piece of a 2.5mg tablet for a while before you stop completely. Read about Scott's flexible taper.

Hi J!
How are you feeling and how is your blinking? What doses of Tranxene, Zyprexa and Seroquel are you taking at the moment?
