Neuroleptic drug question?


A close relative of mine has a mild case of
tardive dyskenisia. It has come from a drug they
take classified as quetiapine. Users of closely
related drugs, made by the same company,
have filed suits against their health care providers.
I read about 10,000, which amounts to a class-
action suit. To my knowledge, only one Dr.
Breggin, a psychiatrist, has assisted in civil
suits for patients. Around five have been awarded
handsomely, but sadly tardive dyskinesia is or
becomes a permanent condition for a person.
On this Dr.'s website (www.breggin.com),
the trials are documented and the drugs in question
were not Seroquel. Yet this doctor says that
all drugs of this type, dopamine blockers, cause
TD....If you know someone, somewhere, who is on
Seroquel, either answer, or I will reset to accept
IM from a 360 friend.

Quetiapine is the generic name for seroquel , I know this as my husband was on that crap for his PSTD and along with Depacote he started hallucinating not to mention all the other weird side effects he was having.I had called his psychiatrist re guarding the reactions he was having and was told that their was nothing wrong with the drugs and they would not cause these side effects.Obviously he didn't look it up in his PDR, asshole! Needless to say I discontinued these meds took him to his MD and got him on something else safer.In order to take these meds you almost have to be a pharmacist and or have your own PDR. I look up every medication I or my husband go on even antibiotics.
I can't say as I am sorry to here that the drug manufacturers are being sued over drugs like these as they also can bring on diabetes,breathing difficulties and heart problems,but who is really going to profit from these law suits,it will not be the patient that was experamented on that is for sure,only their attornies will really make out.
