Thank you guys so much for your answers <3
And I don't mind at all Emma for asking your question :)
I am being weaned off Seroquel 300mg down to 150mg and then starting 5mg of Aripiprazole tomorrow too, so will be on both for a few weeks like you.
I know that my psych said it can be quite risky to stop completely, and can make symptoms worse, so needs monitoring very closely for the first few weeks to make sure your mental health state doesn't worsen or other symptoms arise. <3
I have experienced heart problems (I suffer with heart problems but worsened on Seroquel) with Seroquel, so my psych said this medication is much less likely to affect my heart,
however, I've read quite a bit on google about this and it says a lot of side effects can cause problems with the heart,
which I didn't know at all,
so I wanted to know what the statistics are for heart problems,
or if anyone has experienced heart problems on it.
I said to myself NOT to google it as it'll make me anxious to take it, so as soon as I saw the side effects about heart problems, I stopped, before I looked into it too deeply and freaked myself out,
so I thought I'd ask here?
xx
