@farmboy- Morning. It's good to hear from you. Please call your doctor about the new medication. Did you know that serquel is an anti-psychotic? Is this what your doctor thinks? Maybe there is an interaction with Effexor? Either way you shouldn't have a headache. Have you called her already?

@farmboy, I was given one dose of Seroquel. I took it at 4 pm. When I woke up the next morning, I could not open my eyes. I was fully alert but just could not open them.
As the day progress, my motor skills just seemed to get worse and worse. By noon, the nurses insisted I use a wheelchair.
When the doc came in at 4 pm...that drug was discontinued.... I would not have taken it anyways cuz I could see the challenges it was giving.
This is my recovery. I live a very successful life...why??? Because I REFUSE TO BE A SHEEP TO JUST BLINDLY FOLLOW ALONG.
As ever, Bright Wings

@mepreb I won't be able to call her until tomorrow. She isn't in on Monday's. I will get ahold of her tomorrow and tell her what's going on.
