Hello everyone..couldI have some help please... Im on day five of Saphris, still suffering from the debilitating cramps that withdrawal off seroquel leftme with and the cramps led to pneaumonia because I couldnt breate properly and still taking valium and endone for those. My question is....How long will the vivid nightmares and almost alive like dreams last? Im only managing 4-5 hrs night before Im awake and wake up feeling so disturbed it scares me. That coupled with the saphris around 11ocklock has brought on a panic anxiety attack every day. .....has anyone else had this or these and how long did they last? Im only on 5mg saphris and suposed to be going up to 20 but its taking 10-15mg valium and 10-20 mg endone just to keep the sife effects at bay. Will the saphris settle in your experience? I appreciate any feedback. Hugs

Hi, Blitter2014, and welcome to Psych Central! You might want to ask a pharmacist this question, just in case no one here has had your exact situation.

I hope you feel better soon! I hate withdrawal symptoms!

Talking to pharmacist....great idea.. will go and do this morning.....in about 7 hours when the sun finally comes up and I can lie down without the heartburn or nightmares!
Thank you

Pharmacist tells me the anxiety, nightmares and insomnia should settle over the next three weeks. In . meantime keep taking morphine and valium for cramps. In regard to addiction, pharmacist asked if I take valium just routine or at set time. When I said no I only take when muscles start to spasm she said that indicates no dependency and psych doc should be ok with me to keep taking. I Said I could either keep taking at home or go to docs for injections of same....but couldn't afford.

So thank you for good suggestion, I feel better about what meds are doing re side effects.

I feel sorry for anyone who has had or will have to come off seroquel......no wonder there was a law suit re side effects ( yes I put on weight- why cant any drugs have good side effects eh, reduces baldness, increases IQ that sort of thing...?)

A weel later and the nightmares are subdiding and I'm starting to get some more highs. ...at this point stage they are almost like sugar fixes. Drive pady someone don't know toot n wave, talking to strangers in supermatket, helped old guy pump his gas. ...Im looking forward to bumping meds up to 10 mg soon....as long as don't go too high.
Still having deep lows....but coming out quicker so not sure if just cycling more rapid or higher overall. Wife says Im funny to be around at moment and a bit concerned about the 10mg.....stay tuned lol

Oh but the insomnia still remains. Bed by 10.30. Out like light. Awake by 2 and give up trying sleep by 3. Plenty talk time before morning
