okay, i know i'm not fully trying to live a healthier life style because i'm still going to do other drugs and will probably end up doing this one again, but...eh, whatever. so i'm on day 8 of heroin withdrawal and i feel great but i do have one slight problem. Only this morning I got the weirdest thing happening to me, which is odd because i actually felt great before getting out of bed. i can only stand for about 30-45 seconds max until my head feels like it's going to explode, i start to lose my eye sight almost completely, and i go partially deaf. this is all fixed by laying back down. i immediately thought it was low blood pressure and google confirmed it. so my question is, do you think it has to do with heroin withdrawals still even though this has yet to ever happen until today or COULD it be the Seroquel my doctor prescribed me to get through the withdrawals (didn't work too well, still got through anyways)? Also, I took large doses of Immodium and Benadryl but i doubt those matter too much.

i've already stopped taking the Seroquel this morning just incase because I looked it up and it says side effects may include low blood pressure but...at 100mg a day for a week? this bad? it's lasted all day. i hope it's gone tomorrow. thanks!
 
I get that from Seroquel even at 25mg. See how you feel over the next few days without the Seroquel, and then reevaluate the situation to determine if you should see a doctor about this.

You must have been right. Woke up this morning and all I feel is a slight tingling in my head when I stand for over five minutes or so...but definitely improving after stopping the Seroquel. Thanks!
 
Low blood pressure upon standing is known as "orthostatic hypotension", FYI. Looking up that might give you more relevant information.
