Several articles coming in concerning AstraZeneca hiding information. I know quite a few people here take it. I take 200mg for sleep. myco had some great information concerning the possibility of a counterproductive strategy using an sri and and a atyp. antipsychotic. I really would like to get off this one. I may ask my pd about Trazodone to work with with my sri for the calming effect/sleep.
AZ buried unfavorable studies on its antipsychotic drug Seroquel, according to an internal e-mail unsealed as part of litigation over the medicine.

Hi Relapse,
May I ask why you want to bail on Seroquel? 200mg is kind of high to induce sleep isn't it? I only take 25mg...you can afford to lower the dose and augment with something else for sleep can't you?
Traz is a good option. Wasnt for me on nardil though...sucked at 25mg then 50mg no sleep and uncomfy, seratonin syndrome-like (unconfirmed by doc), feelings.
I prefer the natural approach for most augmentation if I can (many herbals/supplements for sleep out there - some are actually good). This is why i'm persuing L-Tyrosine. I hope (not sure if my logic is correct though) it will "boost" (lack of better word) DA. It also boost NE but thats unneeded by me I think. According to what i've read seroquel "lowers" (i think?) DA and SE. So tyrosine should, in theory I hope, up the DA that seroquel is "taking away". Then I would add something like tryptophan or 5-htp for the added boost in SE from seroquel's messing with it. I'm not sure if all this thinking here is correct. wish someone would weigh in here *nudge nudge*.
Anyone know of an rx med for this augmentation strategy here? somebody? anybody? lol

Hi!
I take both Seroquel (50 mg) and Trazodone (25 mg) and the combo works pretty well!
Love,
Maria

Hi Maria
Sweet combo...what kind of sides, if any, do you get from it? Is it hardcore drying?...since both dry me out alone.

In reply to Why bail on seroquel RELAPSE? lower the dose » Relapse, posted by myco on March 1, 2009, at 15:05:38
I have a quick throw in,
This medication, at 100-200mg feels almost, i feel...dissociate, in another reality. Plus "stoned" but not at all "pleasant".
It does relieve, some "thoughts" that get your nerves, depending if that person has those irritating "intruding" emotions. It does take of that, definetly. I dont want to propganda it, but it does have some "dissociate" effects, i've never taken a psychedilic(whatever you call it)
But this, has a very mild effect, and i think it's because it hits the Histimine h1 receptors, which causes sedation, then also blockage of dopamine at the transporter in the nerve synapse.It just really depends on the person.

This information is pretty shocking, or it should be! They hid the fact that seroquel is less effective than haldol or another antipsychotic! Then they put out a press release that essentially said stop using the old drug Haldol and start using the more "effective" new drug seroquel. All to make the zillions of bucks!
I hope they pay big time for this.
