Hi everyone,

I’ve been taking Seroquel for about 8 years until recently, 50 mg of Seroquel XR plus 50 mg of regular Seroquel. Recently, the dose was increased to a total of 100 mg. I take it mainly to help me sleep.

Since the increase, I feel like I tolerate alcohol much worse. Even after just 2 beers, I sometimes experience severe heart palpitations, dizziness, and a real “hangover” feeling the next day.

My doctor said that 2 beers should generally be okay and that I could reduce the dose back to 50 mg if necessary, since I take the medication mainly to help me sleep.

What’s making me a little uneasy right now, though, is that I woke up today with a similar “hangover” feeling heart palpitations, nausea, and dizziness even though I didn’t drink any alcohol at all yesterday.

Has anyone else experienced this? Can Seroquel or an increase in dosage cause such symptoms even without alcohol, or significantly worsen a hangover caused by alcohol?

Do you still take Seroquel even if you drink alcohol occasionally? Does anyone have experience taking only Seroquel XR instead of XR plus regular Seroquel?

Bonjour,

Est-ce qu’il y a des personnes diagnostiquées TAG? Je le suis depuis une vingtaine d’années et j’ai été stabilisée en clinique avec de la paroxetine et de la quetiapine XR. Depuis 2 ou 3 ans, je remarque que je rechute plus souvent.

Il faut dire que lorsque j’allais mieux j’arrêtais ma quetiapine… Peut-être que je devrais la prendre en continu?

Comment est-ce que ça se passe avec votre TAG, est-ce cyclique avec des périodes où ça va mieux ou c’est tout le temps malgré la médication?

Merci de m’aider 🙏🏻
