lilie Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I have to go off seroquel and zyprexa and am wondering what to do. AD's make me manic so do typical AP's stop the akesthia? If so which ones would you guys recommend? I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and want to be at least a little informed. Lilie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilie Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 Then it sounds like thorazine for me. I'm at my wits end with this finding the right cocktail stuff. It's so tiring and confusing. Lilie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilie Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 I'm at my wits end. Nothing is working and the akashia is juts too much for me. I am so tired. It's getting pretty bad. Lilie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sun_zoom_spark Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Lilie- I have problems w/ akathisia when I'm on APs too. Have you thought about lowering your dosage? That usually works. Or get off them all together. That's what I'm doing now, weaning down. Talk to doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinky Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 typicals are supposed to cause more epse than atypicals. although this is dose and agent related. i got spectacular epse from typicals. benztropine helped, but compounded the anticholinergic effects of some of them. you can also try a benzo or propanolol. or dose reduction. there are more atypicals out there for you to have a go at though, (after all, seroquel is the "lite" atypical, maybe you could do with just one of the others). all hail the typical though - i'm seeing them used for everything from migraine to back pain to nausea in the emergency room, go figure. chopped off a finger? here, have some chlorpromazine.

Is this a side effect or just somethin freaky that goes w this illiness? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You never said what that illness was (in this post, at least). If it's involuntary, yeah, it could be. Here is an extensive article about EPS. I linked you straight to the part about what is and isn't a symptom of any of those. I'm not saying it's tardive dyskinesia; that's just the title of the article. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
