I'm on 500mg Seroquel a day, Still getting the Anxiety, Panic Attacks & OCD Symptoms. He says 600mg wont make the side-effects worse, But I refused. The other option is that I take Fluoxetine (Prozac) ontop of my current medication.

Advice?

Im on 800mg of seroquel and 225mg of venlafaxine. It was working very well. Not becaise it got rid of the "voices, delusions, hallucinations" but because it made my logical mind stronger. I still had all these things but could distinguish that it is an "ilness". But I am currently in relapse because the seroquel did not hold up during a stressful period. Now my pdoc has given me chlorpromazine 150mg, whichhe will increase slowly as well as my other meds. Its olny been a few days but i am not seeing any difference.
With regards to the symptoms of seroquel...When u first started the medication i was asleep pretty much all the time (i think that was the idea). But now, although they still make me slightly drowsy, i can function quite well without getting over tired. Fluoxetine didnt work one bit for my mood but then it varies from patient to patient.

I would recommend prozac. Prozac Generic Fluoxetineis an antidepressant in a class of drugs referred to as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors [SSRIs]. Neurotransmitters communicate messages from one nerve to another. Sometimes they attach themselves back to the surface of the nerve that has produced them, and have to be released once more [reuptake]. It is believed that this imbalance amongst neurotransmitters causes depression. Fluoxetine reduces this reuptake.

The chemicals of the brain that get affected because of an imbalance are capable of creating panic, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and can lead to suicidal ideation or suicide in severely depressed individuals. Prozac is available at emedoutlet with discount offer. Discount Code 5234E and Free Shipping code is 4848B.
