The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Doctor uped my meds from 500 miligrams of depakote to 1500 and perscribed Seroquel 200 miligrams. I take this all in one shot before bed. Has anybody here had experience with seroquel?
I already get up in the night to go to the bathroom, but thats the norm for me. It hasn't made me get up anymore than before though.meh said:I love seroquel because it's the only thing ever that's helped me get some sleep. I take 200mg at night with my Trileptal.
The only problem I had is I used to wake up in the night to potty, but then I'd be so loopy from the seroquel I'd got eat stuff and not even realize it. But we knew I was eating because I'd leave a mess all over the kitchen. I started locking my bathroom door, and apparently that's enough to stop me.
I hope your med changes are successful!
I will give it some time, she is having bood work drawn every so often to keep an eye on things. I know when I go to get blood work they are drawing 4 different tubes. I have to atleaste give her a chance. My original doctor was from the philipeanes, she was the only one who could find the real problem with me. Ive had good luck with doctors from forien lands in the past.
cac you are so right. Actually, I truly believe that aspirin would not pass fda regs if realeased todaycac said:
Anybody else here ever take 1500 miligrams of depakote in one shot before bed, and 200 miligrams a Seraquel. Seems to work good that way for me as far as helping me to get sleep.
The raising of chlesterol and trygliserides and possible diabetes are just side effects that could hapen but are rare. Every single drug you take out there has a list of side effects that could happen, even something as simple as asprin has a page full of possible side effects.
I will keep a close eye on things though.
