I'm sry...its 50mgs I thought it was 10mgs..prozac is the 10mgs...is 50mgs even a low dose? And I don't wanna gain any weight! Ugh..that seems like a high dose 50mgs.

Be calm. My (now) ex-wife was on prozac and seroquel for a couple years. She also took klonopin for anxiety, and did ok. Your mileage may vary, as they say.

Don't worry if the dosage of one med seems high compared to another - it's like apples and oranges.

The prozac and seroquin was for anxiety, right? Not just depression? And did she gain any weight? I'm just scared, I hate medication as it is and I haven't had any luck with them so I'm scared that everything I take is just gonna give me side effects. Was she on both becauseshe had side effects from the prozac

50mgs is a low dose of seroquel. Some people take hundreds of mgs. However it is an antipsychotic that is notorious for weight gain. I take geodon, another antipsychotic, strictly for anxiety (also a low dose). It is weight neutral. I have taken a lot of different meds for anxiety and I can honestly say that it is THE best med I have EVER been on for anxiety. Good luck!

So do u think ill gain weight on such a low dose? And the one you're on..are u on it along with an antidepressent? Idk why I'm so nervous ugh

I know ExACTLY how you are feeling! I have been dealing with severe anexiety for the first time in my life over the last few months. My dr put me on lexapro and I had the most awful side effects- tremor feeling, severe panic, head zaps, muscle twitches, and feeling very keyed up and restless. I stopped after a week on it then she had me try it again thinking it was a blood pressure med I was on that was giving me that reaction. Within hours I started having the same symptoms. I just started seeing a therapist and he put me on 20 mg of Prozac. He said although it's an ssri like lexapro it's a different type of drug. He said I may have the same type of reaction but hopefully not.
Anyways I was scared to death to try it because of the way the lexapro made me feel. I talked myself into it yesterday and felt ok all day- but had a rough night last night. I woke up throughout the night feeling shaky inside and very anxious. Called the dr this morning and he said he wants me to try to push through the symptoms take ativan to help me get through and continue to take it through the weekend. He said he thinks the anexiety symptoms get a little worse at first but then tend to subside. I saw on this site that something like 78% of member had relief from their anexiety symptoms from Prozac. I'm hoping this works for me. I'm so sick of feeling this way and I hate how medicines that are supposed to help end up making u feel so much worse! Good luck with the Prozac and know that you're not alone in this medicine game:)

im new to the anxiety thing and my dr prescribed me prozac as well 20mg and i choose not to take it. reason being like u i hate meds and i wanna beat this thing or at least get it under control without the meds. i just started seeing a therapist and hopefully wit her and my LORD and saviour guiding me medication will not be needed!! but if in the event it is needed then i will try it!! anything to overcome this and to be able to help someone in the same situation as i am!! (each one teach one)

good luck

Seroquel isn't just for bi-polar and schizophrenics, it's used for sleep disorders and insomniacs just as much as the former.

You wont gain weight as long as you watch what you eat and make sure you drink enough water.

Try it for a month (that's usually how long it takes a medication to show it's full effects) and if it's still making you feel terrible arrange another plan with your doctor.

You'll be okay. It'll definitely help you sleep. I took a low low dose (10 mg) of Seroquel for a bit and my biggest complaint was it made me draaaaag. But everyone gets affected by meds differently! Bottom line is if it helps you great, if not tell your doc and you can try something else.

ive been taking seroquel for years. i actually take seroquel xr and it helps a lot with anxiety and racing thoughts. dont be afraid of weight gain. the pill itself doesnt make u gain weight. some people put on weight because it can increase appetite in some people so they eat more but i cant stress enough that seroquel itself will not make u gain weight. u r on a low dose. give it a chance. i believe it may help u

For me ad's dont help for anxiety just depression. I get the same affects as you describe. I suffer from both depression and anxiety so i have to take an ad. I was also prescribed seroquel for anxiety but havent tried it either 50mg to start. I hope it works for my anxiety and sleep. Let me know hw it works for you. Good luck.
