So you have tried every drug possible that your psych has asked you to?

The only reason I ask is because there are so many and just because you have not found the right one, does not mean you wont.
 
Luvox,prozac,paxil,cipramil,zoloft,lexapro,cymbalta,wellbutrin,effexor xr,endep,sinaquin,avanza(the worst ive had(suposed to have least side effects apart from gaining weight, but couldnt satand any dose let alone 135mg and no weight gain which i could probly use),aurorix,parnate,nardil,buspar....enough?
 
I did not mean it in a bad way just learning a bit about you so I can maybe help you better.

I know its a pain in the ass to be dependant on pills but if thats what it takes to make you feel better and "normal" then I would go for it if it is really that distressing.

Better finding the right drug and live happier if you absolutely cant live without the meds.....

I am coming off Cymbalta last dose was today. Now to focus on tapering my benzos... I am however in a completely different situation. I only suffer anxiety which I am trying to fix without drugs. Its going to be a long ride but I will get there.

lol...you must be a smart cookie... 8)

I aren't prescribed on any medications

FYI

Quetiapine has many other off-label uses, often as an augmentation agent, to treat conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, restless legs syndrome, autism, alcoholism, depression, Tourette syndrome, and has been used by physicians as a sedative for those with sleep disorders or anxiety disorders.

I was given one sample from a friend who has a serious sleep issues.

YMMV,

I told my Dr. I couldn't sleep and she gave me a sample of Seroquel. I took it and felt all drunk and giddy and went to sleep. The next 3 days were HELL. I felt like I was SO dissconnected from everything, i could hardly work, and I had panic attacks for 3 days straight. I thought I was losing my mind so I did research on Seroquel and it has made alot of people feel that way. I will NEVER take that crap again, and I told my Dr. she is crazy for giving that stuff out like that. I needed to SLEEP, not go INSANE!

In the future, no need to be an ass ;)

I said i have heard it kills your brain, as in I know people who have been on it long term and hate it because of the way it makes them feel but cant stop taking it due to their illness.
 
irregardless it's misinformation.

if claims like that are going to made it helps to have substantiative evidence rather than "i've heard" :\

Irregardless Versus Regardless

First, let's talk about irregardless. Some people mistakenly use irregardless when they mean “regardless.” Regardless means “regard less,” “without regard,” or despite something. For example, Squiggly will eat chocolate regardless of the consequences.

The prefix ir- (i-r) is a negative prefix, so if you add the prefix ir to a word that's already negative like regardless, you're making a double-negative word that literally means “without without regard.”

Language experts speculate that irregardless comes from a combination of the words regardless and irrespective and that another reason people might say "irregardless" is that they are following the pattern of words like irregular and irreplaceable. But regardless already has the -less suffix on the end, so it's not like those other words.
 
oh I take seroquel as an anti- anxiety because at lower doses (25-50mg) it just helps me sleep and gives me a bit of calm for the day after aswell

i can see how anti-psychotics can make someone into a zombie and wouldnt be into that at all

No, let's not. I honestly think it's obnoxious to correct people's grammar and spelling in depth like that, or with a passive-aggressive bold font.

Regarding Seroquel; it does have a lot of off-label uses and doctors who are wary of benzodiazepines will prescribe it as a sleep-aid or even certain types of anxiety. There are even a few doctors who will still use first generation antipsychotics for certain types of anxiety.

Is that not obnoxious? Treat others the way you wish to be treated.

Because you assumed that he was on Seroquel for schizophrenia or bi-polar and said that 'he must need it'.

IME my GP prescribes me every benzo under the sun minus Xanax for anxiety. We have talked about it (Xanax) though. He never mentioned Seroquel and I gathered Seroquel is designed to "shut down" your brain to dull voices in your head, and this other raver I know constantly thinks hes being followed, he takes Seroquel.

So you can see from the evidence I have gathered that Seroquel mainly be prescribed for people who have a "sixth sense" if you will...
 
^ I never said that it isn't prescribed mainly for the purposes of mental illness. But drugs are commonly used off-label, and your GP is obviously very generous compared to many doctors in Australia. My point was that your post came across as patronizing.

That's all.

there's a difference between "hearing" it kills brain cells compared to knowing it kills brain cells. i could say oxycontin cures chronic pain but that doesn't make it so - it alleviates symptoms and allows many to live a manageable life..

if you're going to nitpick my about grammer, whatever. but when you make such claims it helps to have substantiated evidence behind claims when you start throwing around "it killsbrain cells"; hearsay. we're here to eliminate misinformation not spread it.

i'm sincerely interested in the study where you've read that.
