The Bipolar Mom

Checking stats and saw someone did a search for “Fuck Seroquel” and found my site.  Awesome. My blog is making its point with Seroquel. 

Really not much to say now.  The worst part is over.  I am at the very end of the withdrawal and only have a few symptoms left. My stomach still feels like I have severe morning sickness at times.  It just comes and goes whenever it wants. No, I am not pregnant, I made sure [...]

The last two days have been a lot better.  My terrible Seroquel withdrawal migraines are slowly subsiding.  They are still there, but I can now at least blink my eyes!  I couldn’t before, it was too painful. I am still not sleeping.  I haven’t slept in 3 days. I get really sick to my stomach [...]

It is 2:45PM. I feel the need to update early.  My body feels like it is going into a slight shock. I have the following symptoms today.  Remember, I went down .50mg last night, so the withdrawal is now going to go back to severe rather quickly and has already started.  I am NOT making [...]

So round 2 or 3, I forget now, there have been so many. I dropped down to 50mg of Seroquel.  As expected, I was up the entire night.  I fell asleep about an hour after Rich left, although I was awake when he was getting ready.  I then woke up thinking it was 11am and [...]

It is 8:15PM. Massive migraine.  I know, shocker. These daily Seroquel migraines are absolutely destroying any sort of sanity I might have left.  They start early in the afternoon and destruct the rest of the night. Can’t drive, can’t blink without it hurting, can’t do anything.  This sucks. Like two weeks of this, I am [...]

10:00PM Late at night.  Just got home from Grampa’s house, took pizza over there.  I was in my pjs, no shoes, no makeup, hair a mess.  He doesn’t care. I feel TERRIBLE tonight. It started earlier in the day as I have mentioned and it just got worse and worse.  By 7:00pm, I was in [...]

2:15PM F**** Seroquel.  I have gone downhill this afternoon, which is hard because in ten minutes I have to leave for a long drive out to Therapist office. My stomach is violently ill, like it was a few days ago.  I keep running to the bathroom and it is all liquid just pouring out.  Massive migraine [...]

Last night I got my massive withdrawal headache very early, around 3:00pm.  It hurt all night and is still there this morning.  Of course I did have a huge alochol drink last night, so I know that is for sure not making that any better.  But I can tell the difference between alochol and withdrawal [...]

It is 10:30am on Friday.  I got up at 9:00 and felt really good for the most part.  Each day it slowly gets better. But remember, I do have to drop down to 50mg this weekend, so again, my body will go back into a withdrawal shock, although it should not be as severe.  Of [...]

Rich and I ate late last night.  I didn’t eat much, half a hamburger and some fries.  Trying to get anything down. I slept 8hrs last night.  Amazing right?  Talk about feeling alive today for once. Stomach hurts a little bit.  I measured myself and I have lost 5″ on my hips from not eating.  [...]

Still a massive migraine.  Stomach has calmed down a bit, maybe I can actually eat?  I mean it has only been 5 days, that is no problem right?  Who needs nutrition, obv my doctor doesn’t care. Biggest and worst symptom is the severe feeling of ants all over my body. It is getting worse and [...]

Please do not think I am obsessed or crazy for posting so many posts on this.  I get a ton of hits on my site daily with people using Google to search on Seroquel withdrawal.  This is a very serious medicine, please think really hard and read all of my information.  You all see me [...]

Yes, you read that correctly.

Some messages about the damage this drug came from personal experiences.  Please read this all the way through if taking this drug! “Against my demand that the diagnosis was wrong and asking not to be given drugs for that diagnosis. I was mislead while they said the medicine was for anxiety. I became nonfunctional and [...]

Again, NOT looking for a pity party for me.  This is because I want to help and warn others.  Psych meds literally destroy you and Seroquel should be banned by the FDA. My case manager just left.  Feeling really frustrated.  Everyone involved in giving me this med is trying to avoid and skirt around how [...]

Because I can no longer spell or remember anything.  Memory is lost, I am having a hard time with this and am really frustrated.  You will notice this in my last few days of posts, tons of mistakes.

Sorry everyone for being blunt, going more and more downhill physically.  I am so afraid my heart will give out on me or I will end up in coma or have a stroke.  Has happened many times with this drug. This drug should NOT be approved by FDA.  The problem is, they make  millions of [...]

Obviously you can tell that Rich is the writer in the family and I am the obnoxious blunt one. Not feeling well of course.  Have drank two water bottles and going to the bathroom has been much clearer.  Problem is, it takes a while to come out, like bladder is holding back.  Very hard to [...]

It has now been four hours since being up after sleeping the hour and a half.  Symptoms now are still massive headache, partly due to meds, not eating, no water, my palms are so sweaty I can’t type.  They are wringing wet.  Stomach still upset, made soup really early, ate one bite and was done.  [...]

Like I said earlier, I was up again around midnight. I called Rich because I didn’t feel good at all.  The night sweat was so bad.  He came over for a bit and felt my hair and sheets with how wet they were. Remember he is staying at his dad’s house and his dad literally almost [...]

But please, if you have Bipolar, please really consider taking this terrible meds.  I am having the worst time with withdrawals and sometimes I don’t feel I am going to make it.  Like my Pharmacist said, it is exactly like weaning off of Heroin.  I have never taken illegal drugs, so of course I do [...]

Seroquel- The facts they do not want you to know. Seroquel withdrawal – Anorexia – No longer having a desire to eat. Seroquel withdrawal – Apothous Stomatitis – Painful red and swollen open sores on a mucus membrane of the mouth commonly called a canker sore. Seroquel withdrawal – Ataxia – Loss of the ability to [...]

I am drenched.  So wet, I can not sleep.  My hair is so wet, you can almost wring it out.  I have to change clothing, pillows and bedsheets because they are drenched.  This is so uncomfortable.  My head felt really warm, but temperature wasn’t there so it said. Cold sweats then take place when I am [...]

Went to clinic today for appointment.  Very hard driving, my stomach so upset, it feels like severe morning sickness. I was suppose to only meet with nurse.  I have a slight fever.  She was worried about my symptoms and had to get the doctor. My doctor is concerned but did admit this drug is VERY [...]

Just checked scale, it read 125, that is SOOO low for me, that is five pounds from prepregnancy. Yesterday I recorded 132 at home and the nurse at Dr’s office also ready 132, this is nuts! This is from lack of food I am sure. I ate half the steak, all I could get down, better than [...]

Another web page on withdrawal effects.  How did this pass the FDA!!! Withdrawal symptoms reported to occur after discontinuation of quetiapine include, nausea, emesis, lightheadedness, diaphoresis, orthostasis, tachycardia, and nervousness , dizziness, headache, and anxiety. The present evidence suggests that these symptoms effect a small number of susceptible individuals treated with quetiapine.[18] Rebound insomnia symptoms [...]

Feeling of constant ants crawling over entire body.  Causes light itching.

WikiProject Medicine or the Medicine Portal may be able to help recruit an expert. (March 2009) Not to [...]

I actually fell asleep sitting up on the couch. It wasn’t long, 1hr and a half, but at least I feel a little better. Of course this means nothing, I could still be awake all night.  Blurriness much better and no headache at this time. No blood either as of right now and stomach pain slighty [...]

ANDREE FITZGERALD September 20, 2005 at 1:38 pm DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE SIDE EFFECTS ARE FOR SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE DEPRESSION OR A SLEEP PROBLEM, BUT WAS PUT ON SEROQUEL ANY WAY. SHE WEIGHED WELL OVER 300 POUNDS AND HAD HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. FOUR DAYS AFTER BEING GIVEN SEROQUEL (500MG) A DAY, SHE [...]

I now have blood coming out of nose. I barely blew it, so I knew it was not from anything else.  I am so scared, but I do not feel I need to go to ER.  Not much they can do for me, it just has to leave my body.  Arms now starting to twitch [...]

I am now almost to the point of delusion.  My eyes are so exhausted, but sleep is impossible. I still can’t spell for the life of me, my memory is starting to severely fail due to starting to become delusional.  You can easily die from weaning off this drug or have a severe stroke and go [...]

Still wide awake from Seroquel withdrawal, not even an hours sleep.  This is so hard to get off of. Going on 4:15 now.  I can’t believe the hospital didn’t warn me about this drug.  The Pharmacist, my case manger, and nurse said this drug is so hard to get off of.  I only have 5.5 [...]
