Medication Question - seroquel side effects.
Ive been on seroquel (quetiapine) for many many months now.
Ive been having intense aches/pain in my toes and sometimes feet.
I have tried heat, ice, muscle relaxers....no help.
Is there something i can do??
Is 2 AM and im exhausted but cant sleep because it hurts.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
thanks

mmm i believe i remember reading in the leaflet that it can cause muscular problems - i've recently had a lot of restless leg syndrome which i think is due to the Quetiapine.
I usually rub gel (for muscular pain) into my legs - so long as it doesn't play up with any of your other meds you could try that.
If that doesn't work you've pretty much exhausted all options..if it's becoming unbearable it might be worth contacting your psych x

you already seem to have tried most things we would suggest.
if it is keeping you up then you need to speak to your doctor who prescribes it for you to see if they can offer any help.

How long have the pains been going on?
|
Well it breaks my heart to see you this way,
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me you were doing okay,
Somehow I guess they were wrong.

Hope your okay x

Something has changed within me, something is not the same, I'm through with playing by the rules of someone elses game. Too late for second guessing, too late to go back to sleep, its time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap.... Somethings I cannot change, but till I try I'll never know... *** Big hugs to all my friends on here, thanks for your constant support - love you guys
