Seroquel Users , does side effects go after stopping the medication ?

i am 18 with bipolar disorder , mixed state , i got that hand shaking and muscle movement ,i've been using it for 2 months now , with lamictal and feverin ,
my doses are
50 mg lamictal > twice a day
100 mg Seroquel > twice a day
50 mg feverin > once a day
i got that hand shaking and i heared it doesnt go off even after i stop the medication , can anyone tell me from personal experience > not from searching the internet please !

My fiance was on Seroquel....He was only extremely sleepy from it....but definitely side effects of these kind of medications are individual. However, it is very possible for them to cause shaking...but were ur hands shaking before?
If so maybe Seroquel can only make it a worse....but eventually stop. BUT these meds are very heavy....and as no doctor can look inside of ur brain and discover which one would work better and make u have no side effects at all....as some of them can be pretty serious! And yes, they can stay after u stop the med! It is important that about ANY movement problems u tell to ur doc, because most likely he will change ur medication or dose. Most of these kind of medications can make u have Dystonia, Essential Tremors, Parkinson's disease etc.....but there are really rare cases....still it happens, so u need to keep ur doc very much informed on any changes so he can react on time.

Just to add....do NOT stop it on ur own, as it needs to be graduatly...just contact ur doc and he will know what to do :)

Hope this helps!

no not at all. I took 200mg for 6 months and stopped cold without any affect,I just did not get to sleep as easy for the first day or two,so I took some over the counter sleep aid and everything was fine.I don't know about the other stuff your on ask your doc about that. I take lexapro, and it has worked great. good luck

My brother died about 3 months ago at 19 and he was bipolar and taking Seroquel.

This isn't going to answer your question but I want to stress to you the importance of taking your medication. It can take years to find the right combination of medicine that will work the most effectively to treat your bipolarism; it's important that you do not get discouraged or give up because you feel you will never get "better" or feel "normal" again. You WILL feel better it just takes time on those antipsychotic medications. Suicide if often an end to people with Bipolar Disorder..just please take into consideration what I am saying?

yes... Seroquel and maybe it could have been Abilify that caused terrible problems for someone I knew..... I don't know her dosage.... but once the dosages were adjusted or she was taken off of them she became much much better

I was on Seroquel 600 mg. the only trouble I had with it was some involuntary mouth movements that I wasn't even aware of.... talk to you doc....

after stopping seroquel you will not feel good at all for a few days..then you go back to how you were before you started...this is a good drug for bipolar 1..I've got the same thing it helps me alot....but I'm also manic....you will feel bad 1st week....sleeping problems,upset tummy,anxiety.,...you really should keep taking it,,unless your doctor says diff...anyways GOOD LUCK MAN TAKE CARE...

I took one seroquel And my blood sugars were elevated , So i went off of it .

I was on seroquel for seven years and all the side effects went away after I'd been off of it for a week. I've known several other people that have taken it as well and all of their side effects ceased after discontinuing use.

Keep in mind, though, that everyone reacts to medicine differently. For instance, I never experienced the hand shaking while I was on seroquel, but my father did. After they took him off of it, his hands quit shaking.

It's possible that the effect may or may not go away after stopping the medication, but best bet would be to work with the doctor on getting off of this medication and trying a different medication.
