Weird Seroquel XR reacation

[robot_birds]

SO I was put on seroquel XR a while ago and when I was supposed to up my dose (sorry I cant remember, but i know it wasnt that high) About an hour after I took them I started getting all light headed, then confused, then my body started stretching it felt like. (like shrooms if you have ever takin them). It was terrible, panic, fear, stretching, confusion. I almost called my mom to take me to the hospital.

So I thought I was feeling better and stopped taking them after that, then the delusions ect. ect. came back and I called my doctor and she is just going to put me back on them.

It scares me to take them again

has this happened to anyone

Why don't you just ask her to give you a different AAP?

I have been on seroquel xr for awhile now and the only side effect I get that you mentioned was the light headedness. I do suffer from some memory issues but I can't pin that only on the xr. I would just ask to try another med. What you are going through is def not normal.

i had started seroquel at like 150 or 200mg or something like that, and it would knock me out but also I felt like i couldn't breathe and was light heade which made me kind of panic a bit. So now i'm on a much lower dose to help with my sleep. But I would def tell your doc that you didn't feel right on it, and either ask to start out lower and slowly work up, or try a different med.

Sounds a bit like akathisia, perhaps. I take seroquel, without these issues, but when I tried the seroquel XR, it gave me serious akathisia. Could be that?
