Rabbit37 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I can't believe I skipped my meds last night, I take them faithfully. The lithium isn't an issue, but the 300mg seroquel IR definitely is. I can't spend the rest of the day with hot/cold flashes, nervousness and nausea. I chopped off about a third and took that a short bit ago, hoping that just getting some in my bloodstream will help. My question is - and the small family owned pharmacy I use has closed early today for the holidays - should I just take the rest of the pill tonight, and that would only be roughly taking 200mg, or will I still have withdrawal from the lower dose? I'm tempted to take my full dose tonight, I'm thinking a 100mg blip would be better than feeling like crap again on Christmas Eve. If it helps, I took the small dose at 1pm, and although I do tend to go to bed early-ish, I could wait til 10pm. Pdoc and I had discussed raising my dose to 400mg recently due to breakthrough symptoms, and in previous years I've taken 400mg, so it's not like I've never taken that amount before. I know asking this kind of advice isn't something I should do, but, maybe someone has done this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp56 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I've forgotten to take my dose and I felt horrible the next day with flu-like symptoms (my old pdoc calls withdrawal from it as the "Seroquel flu"). I'm not a professional, so I can't tell you the implications of taking your dose in the afternoon, but I would have done so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
