What are the common side effects for a women with Bipolar Disorder on 3mg Risperidone. ## Hello, Olivia! How are you? The most common side effects associated with this medication include nausea, dizziness, somnolence, fatigue and weight changes. 3mgs is a pretty high dose, so I'd expect the somnolence and fatigue to be pretty pronounced on that dosage. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am looking for a doctor to perscribe a compounding safer persciption for someone with schizophrenia, The medicines have very bad side affects, Thank you, In ohio or near ## Hello, Mari! How are you? Any doctor can write such a prescription, there are no special ones that it's restricted to, so it could be written by their current treating physician. There are just only certain pharmacies that specialize in compounding such medications. However, even compounding medications isn't going to do away with the risk of side effects. What types of problems is the patient experiencing?

I found a little orange or peachy coloured pill in my kids room. I has either an N or a Z on one side and 25 on the other. Also found another one that is darker in colour with QT on one side and a symbol like the end of an arrow on the other side ## These are both seraquel (quetiapine), an antipsychotic commonly (but very unnecessarily) prescribed for sleep. (Akin to prescribing dilaudid for a paper cut). The orange one 25mg, I'm not 100% sure the dosage of the QT stamped one, but I was on 100mg quetiapine that was yellow, with QT 100 and an arrow, just as you describe, and currently take the orange ones nightly. ## @Weeza, Based on my research, post #1 is right about these being Quetiapine. I can also verify that the orange one marked with N 25 is manufactured by Teva-Canada (carry...

can seroquil be a cause of mitral valve prolapse ## Hi Monica, While I haven't found any information relating Seroquel (Quetiapine) to Mitral valve prolapse, I did find "fast or irregular heartbeat" to be a severe side effect associated with this medication. I do wonder though if this side effect, in and of itself, can eventually lead to Mitral valve prolapse? If you're experiencing any unusual or disabling side effects by taking Seroquel, then I would recommend asking your doctor about switching medications or opting for a more natural alternative to the drug. You may also want to take a look at Seroquel's list of side effects, for reference: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001030/#a698019-sideEffects I hope this helps! ## Can you take seroqel with a prolapsed hea...

Should Seroquel be used on a 98 year old dimentia patient? ## I am sorry, there are no medical professionals on this site and only a doctor who is familiar with her medical history can decide what medications can best help her condition. ## I have seen it used for the elderly but not with increased confusion and high probability of falls. I am a nurse so i can not diagnose. Only tell you my observations.

I gained 30 pounds on this drug and I hate it. My Dr prescribed me a high dose of 400 mg at night and then 25 mg three times a day a day for anxiety. Well I decided to stop taking it and taper myself off. Right now I'm down to 50mg at night. ## Hello, Pyper! How are you? Yes, many of these types of medications can cause weight gain as a side effect. How are you doing with such a drastic dosage cut? Any withdrawal symptoms, such as worsening depression or anxiety? How long were you taking it? ## Verwon I have been on Seroquel for one year. Yes I am experiencing a little increase in anxiety and depression, but its nothing I cant deal with. Besides, I already lost three pounds. Yippee..

My grown son began taking saphris 17 months ago.Although it helped him mentally very much,he gained over 50 pounds during this period and most important for people to know,he now has Type 2 diabetes caused by the saphris.This was stated by his doctor.His blood glucose levels were normal before this medication. PlEASE,anyone on this med,make sure your weight and blood glucose levels are monitored every 3/4 months. If you become very thirsty and have a continuous weight gain see your doctor and slowly stop taking it. Now my son is on 2 diabetes meds. Had his blood glucose been taken after a few months on saphris, if it was rising,he would have immediately been put on another medication. There should be very strong warnings to always monitor blood sugar levels even without a weight gain. #...

So I found this pill, It's not seroquel as it doesn't match any of the pictures. It's small round and white, marked 50 on one side, it's blank on the other. The face and back aren't flat like the seroquel pills, they're rounded. I believe it may be Tramadol, though some posts online have said hydrocodone. I really would like to know as my brother is supposed to be clean of opiates and I hope he hasn't relapsed. I hope he isn't abusing anything, but opiates especially! Any help is appreciated. ## Hello, Liitke! How are you? Is the 50 pressed into the tablet? If so, I believe you may have found a 50mg Quetiapine tablet, it's an atypical antipsychotic. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, weight gain and somnolence.

Does anyone have information on withdrawing abruptly from Fanapt after taking for over a year! ## Hello, Maija! How are you? Fanapt contains the active ingredient Iloperidone, which is an atypical antipsychotic that's used to treat various mental health conditions. Learn more Fanapt details here. And while some people don't have any problems stopping them, doing so can cause rebound effects, so it's best done via a slow tapering schedule. What has your doctor advised? ## tapered off Fanapt but having extreme anxiety is this normal? I was diagnosed with Bipolar 13 years ago and feel i dont need this anymore.. so far moods are stable... but just lots of anxiety. went from 24 mg to 12 mg to 8mg to 6 mg now to nothing in a years time.

I take 150 mg of Trazadone and 400 mg of Seroquel XR, and have just in the last week started taking 10 mg of Brintellix. I feel nauseated, shaky, and keep looking flushed it has been 6 days should i stop taking it? ## Yes, please contact your doctor immediately! The Trazodone increases the toxicity of the Brintellix via a serotonin reaction, you may be developing serotonin syndrome, which can be life threatening. How are you doing?
