Hi everyone,
Has anyone cutting down on Seroquel noticed noise becoming aggravatingly louder ??? Sometimes I feel it slightly enrages me...
Besides that, bright light is also more bothersome. Are these withdrawal symptoms?Ten days ago I cut back my usual dose of 50mg Seroquel to 25mg.
Are these effects due to the fact that Seroquel dampens physiological "input"? (due to dopamine inhibition?).
Any clues are more than welcome.
Maria

Maria,
You wrote,[...Any clues are more than welcome...].
When a human being takes psychotropic drugs, there could be a wide variety of sensual changes that could even be like you describe here.
One of the reasons is that the chemicals in the drugs have constituents that are {nerve agents}. These chemicals can shut down nerve transmissions and have been used in insecticides and the commission of mass-murder as the chemicals can shut down the heart or the lungs causing death. This is nothing new and poisons have been used for thousands of years derived from plants and other sources. One of the chemical constituents in Seroquel is piperzinyl which is chemical used to kill parasitic worms. That chemical attacks the nerves in a way to shut down transmission so that the worm is paralyzed and the animal can then expel the parasite. There are other chemicals in the drug such as a dibenzo thiazapine. As to your situation, I have no doubt that the chemicals in the drug are responsible for the changes in your senses and if you intend to rid yourself of this drug I think that those changes could be transitory.
Be advised, Maria, that I am prevented from posting here what I think could save your life, prevent life-ruining conditions and addictions, due to prohibitions posted to me here by Mr. Hsiung. But be it as it may be, others could tell you to take this drug or that drug with impunity here, even if the drug(s) could give you a life-ruining condition or addiction or death.

Maria and friends,
The drug in question, Seroquel, can cause sudden death. Let us look at this:
http://www.ehealthme.com/ds/seroquel/sudden+death
Now if you look at the stats there, you see that death is in the adverse reported events as over 3%. And the deaths happen mostly up to taking the drug for 5 years or less. Some less than a year, some deaths between 1 and 2 years ect.
Now let us put this in some type of perspective. Suppose there was a five-year university and 3% of the students died from attending that university, some in one year. some in two and so forth. And suppose there are 40,000 students there. That could mean that 1200 students died in the 5 years from going to that school? Could the school get federal funding? Would you go there? Would there not be an investigation and the school closed?
But let us look at another situation. Suppose that 3% of the hamburgers that you eat could kill you in 5 years. And suppose you ate 1 hamburger a day. How long would it take for you to be killed by the hamburger? If 3% were killed by the hamburger, do you think that the country would be allowed to sell hamburgers?
Yet today, after thousands of people are killed by psychiatric drugs each year, they are still being allowed to be sold. And they are sold to children being drugged by their parents in collaboration with a psychiatrist/doctor. What chance do they have?

I think its probably reducing your level of sedation. At low doses, seroquel is a super sedating antihistamine. At somewhere around 200 or 300 mgs (I read this once...), it starts acting as a full on tranquilizer.
So, yeah...that's my theory. Reducing your level of sedation=more reactions to stimuli.

These are typical stress symptoms that can but dont have to precede psychosis.
How long have you been taking 50mg?
It sounds unusual. It can be withdrawal i think. If nothing else happens i would say sit it out.

That happened to me when I tried going down on perphenazine, anouther AP. The answer was going back up on dose.

now that I think about it...sometimes, when I felt pre-crazy (if that makes sense), noises would seem louder and colors seemed more saturated, brighter somehow. Then I was put on 30mgs Abilify, instead of 15, and some anti-convulsants. Now I don't get that same reaction.
With your situation, though...how long have you been low-dosing the seroquel? There is "rebound psychosis" and "tardive psychosis," they're both under-studied, but they do happen. I didn't even think of that.
This is the end of the thread.
