has anybody had side effects from missing just one dose of serequel xl? i've been well for about 4 months and i've put this down to all the meds. but this last week i feel like things are slipping and i've felt really opposed to taking meds. last night i felt so rubbish that i didn't take them (anti-depressant, serequel and another mood stabilizer) and i spent the whole night awake and feeling awful. this couldn't be from missing just one lot of meds could it?
I cant sleep without my quetiapine, which is why when i missed the chemist this morning I had to get an emergency script for the weekend :)
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...

When i first started to take it, i was affected like that but i was on a very low dose, which has now been upped so i think i may feel the affects more now if i miss a dose.
I am really crap at remembering to take it in the morning so i think i have some affects from that (I'm not stable and not sleeping great)
Sorry started to ramble....

My partner is on Quetiapine XL, Lithium and some others at night and if she misses a night dose she cant sleep. Shes not on these meds FOR sleep but they do help her sleep. Its a bit of the same for me, but I am on quetiapine (short release) for sleep and if I miss a night dose I cant sleep.
Mood stabilisers and anti-psychotics (mainly the older ones though) make a lot of people sleepy, so whats happened for you does make sense.
Try to take them, because once you stop its harder mentally to start again, and you will have to get back on them at some point. *hugs*
I get like that if i miss a dose and i have a sleepless night.
" my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you" you were carried out of are lifes into the next and when its my time to leave this life I know i will be carried into the next life with you.
I wish i had my world complete again.

Its mostly due to not being able to sleep that makes you feel that way, worst i did was three days without it and not sleeping was a nightmare i was a wreck.

Yeah the quetiapine doesnt make me sleep but if i don't take it i cant sleep

If i miss my dose of seroquel in the evening i get SO ill during the night. I shake, sweat and get dizzy. My heart races and i can't find peace. It's horrible!!!! It's definetely not fun to miss a dose.
thanks so much for all your responses. i just felt seriously on the edge of depression again the last two days when i have felt very well for months prior to that. from people's experiences is that likely to be due to the lack of sleep and not eating due to nausea or mood destabilizing cos not taken drugs?
Not eating, lack of sleep AND not taking medication will all take it's toll on your mood. If the lack of eating / sleeping happened as a result of not taking your medication then I suggest you take it again as prescribed and if you seriously want to come off it despite feeling 'on the edge of depression' then sort out a weaning off plan with the prescriber. xx
Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want?
I have side effects from missing doses. When I missed seroquel last time I had tons of energy the next day, I also started to feel pretty crappy by the time the next dose was due.
I try not to miss doses because it does normally throw me off in some way or another. Sometimes I get excess anxiety from missed doses and such.
just one night shouldn't have bad implications, but try not to miss any , and, if any, not more than three. the side effects of being pulled off of seroquel are fierce.

I can so relate to this. If i don't take my night dose i too can't sleep (tonight is an example) and the next day I don't feel tired but i do get nauseated.
