@heidirahk I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience with Seroquel. I would think that given the side effects you were having, your doctor should have kept you at the lowest dose until you either got adjusted to it, or stopped it. Increasing the dosage certainly was inappropriate, in my opinion. I've had reactions to meds, and the doctor had me stop taking it and changing to something else.

Six weeks is a short time to have taken a medication, along with the fast increase, so I hope that you start feeling better soon without it. Is withdrawal worse than what Seroquel was doing to you?

I took Lyrica for a month or two when I had a serious reaction to it, and I was in the hospital for 3 days. They had me stop taking it immediately.

If you still have serious problems, and your doctor doesn't call by tomorrow, I think you should go to the emergency room. The symptoms you describe shouldn't be ignored. As Jake suggested, it might be a good idea to take someone with you, or better yet, have them drive you to the closest ER.

Better to be over cautious than to delay getting help and having serious problems. In fact I would recommend going to the ER tonight, and not wait another day.

Do this for yourself. It's not a selfish or silly thing to do. When I had the reaction to Lyrica, I'm glad I went to the ER.
