I am on Serequel and that is strong stuff. My dosage was upped to 150 mg xr and I couldn't handle it. It knocked me out for the night and part of the next morning and made me anxious and confused. I am now back to 100 mg Serequel (not time release).

I would revisit the dosage and timing for taking the Serequel with your pdoc. If it's really bad and you're having heart palpitations or racing and slowing, you should head to the hospital. Also, BE SURE NOT TO DRINK ALCOHOL OR USE REC DRUGS IN COMBO WITH THIS.....

We're with you! Let us know how you;re doing!

Glad you got it checked out with the doc. And it sounds about right, that the meds are settling into your system. Hope it all works out OK for you.

Seroquel messes with heart rates. The more I know about this drug the more it becomes apparent exactly how dangerous it is.
