Seroquel/Cymbalta Question?
Hi, I am on 60 mg of Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia, and 25mg of Seroquel. (it used to be 50 i've been cutting my pill in half for the past few weeks) i am trying to wean off of seroquel & eventually cymbalta. i have gained a lot of weight on these meds & i hate it. However, when i dont take seroquel.....i cant sleep. and i excersize a lot. i burn 1500 calories each day swimming laps. i eat really healthy. about 1200 calories a day. this doesnt make sense i know. its really annoying. and i cant get off seroquel bc when i dont take it i feel horrible....any advice for getting off it? ):
you're an idiot you cant die from it unles you're on like 2000 mg and u just stop. you cant die. and i have been talking to my doctor its her idea to get off iglt genious.
its called exaggerating. and the nda has proved it you wont die . you'll just have unpleasant sideeffects. your a dumbfuck.
thats not true i have been on 250 mg and stopped instantly and im perfectly okay. just stop. dont even reply. you just made an ass out of yourself. stop right there

1. Do not wean yourself off Seroquel without medical help, you could die.(I take Seroquel so I know)
I am not an idiot. 2000mg would kill someone by itself. No one takes 2000 mg
the most seroquel a person can take is 900mg at one time. I take 150mg and I was told I could die if I just stop (by a doctor)
Proven how? You have unpleasant side effects UNTIL you die.
2. i take seroquel. i didnt know you could die from stopping. i havnt took mine in about a week. i feel less hungry and i feel better about myself because im not over eating!!!
BUUUUTTT . im in the same boat. cant sleep. i stay wide awake tilll around 5am just sitting there... sometimes later,.... im hoping it will all weir off. but i havnt been taking them..... im on 100mg of seroquel -.-
yikes, i didnt know you had to come off them slow! i seem to be okay though
3. are you sure its BOTH meds causing weight gain...i have heard of people gaining on cymbalta but the official word is that it usually causes weight loss
you could consider savella as an alternative--less side effects
look into trazodone for sleep (only take at night)
be sure they are checking in your thyroid
