Side Effects from Seroquil - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

still_me · 05-19-2007, 12:53 AM

Sorry, don't know how to spell it and don't want to go to other room and look.

I was having a hard time for a while and they put me on 300mg or seroquil and lamictal. After taking it a while I had a very strange reaction to it. I couldn't swallow. It's not that it hurt or anything but the muscles were like frozen stuck. I actually couldn't swallow. At the ER they gave me a bunch of stuff to try to fix it and ended up having to add a muscle relaxer. Now I am down to 100mg and not having trouble with it but once in a while but I can feel that bad thoughts coming back.

anyway...............any here experience that type of side affect before with this drug?

No experience like that, but it sounds like you are adjusting to it now.

That must have been very scary.

I take 100mg a night and sleep really well with it, when I am in a good place I take 50mg. I take an antidepressant as well. I would check with ur Dr. u may need a something added to your regime. Keep me posted.
