Anyone Experience With Lexapro/seroquel Combination?

[CalmCarly2017]

I am taking klonopin .5 mg during the day, Seroquel 50 during the day and at night. I also take Lexapro. It has been a month and I'am as calm and happy as I have ever been. In the past I was a worry wart, anxious and severely depressed.

The only thing is at night with the Seroquel you get restless leg syndrome and/or jump in your sleep. Just relax and you will feel so much better after your body gets use to it.

For once in my life, I am calm, relaxed and not anxious. Medication is different for everyone you have to try combinations and see what works for you.

Seroquel takes time to get use to. The dosage should start out at 25mg. Eventually you can increase it so you wont be over sleep. Once it gets into your system it take the anxious feeling and panic from worrying away. You also have to practice breathing techniques and calm down which is easier said than done.

Good Luck

Is it Seriquel or Seriquel XR? Very different! Seriquel is immedate release and Seriquel XR is extended release.

If its immediate release, it is supposed to make you sedated. Thus why it is prescribed for insominia. I didn't have daytime drowsiness with it I don't believe. It also did NOTHING for my anxiety.

Seriquel XR is another story. It made me sedated for a few days. It started to stop making my sleepy and about every month or so (would have to look at my thread about it to give you an exact timeframe) we titrated up 50 mg at a time. Very slowly. I am now on 200mg Seriquel XR (where I stopped) and almost fully off my anxiety meds, only taking a .5 (was on three 1mg a day and my anxiety was over taking that) at night for some night time anxiety I have. No longer making me sleepy even at night and it has done an amazing job of stabalizing me.

That said, I wouldn't take Lexapro with it and Lexapro did nothing for me. Absolutely nothing.
