Buy Seroquel Quetiapine Online To Treat Anxiety, Bipolar As Well As Schizophrenia


Seroquel comprises Quetiapine fumarate and is an anti-psychotic medication used primarily to treat Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder [BD], and Anxiety-related disorders in adults and children. In BD, it is given to children who are above 10 years in age; while for treating Schizophrenia, it is given to children who are 13 years or older.

Generic Quetiapine belongs to the dibenzothiazepine group of drugs. It blocks the dopamine type-2 and serotonin type-2 receptors. Serotonin is associated with moods-sleep-appetite-memory-learning-muscle contraction and has a role in blood platelets where it helps to regulate hemostasis & blood clotting. Dopamine is associated with voluntary movement-reward & punishment-motivation-sleep-moods-attention-memory-learning-inhibition of prolactin production [that is involved in sexual gratification & lactation]. Quetiapine alters the balance of these 2 chemicals in the brain, which leads to a difference in thought and behavior in the patient.

Schizophrenia is an extremely serious disorder, for the patient cannot distinguish between the real and unreal, making it difficult for the patient to think or behave logically, show ‘normal’ emotional responses to others, and behave ‘normally’ in society. It can start when a child is 5 years old, occurs usually in teenage and young adulthood years, with lesser chances of occurring when people are 45 years old. This condition involves a situation when a person “hears” voices to hurt himself/herself, feels overwhelmed with helplessness, “sees” things that do not exist, is unable or afraid to leave the house, and cannot take care of himself/herself.

To make things worse, there are 5 kinds of Schizophrenia. The disease develops slowly over months, or years, with Schizophrenics being at high risk for substance abuse. According to medical science, Schizophrenics can improve with the right medicine, and gain control over their symptoms.

Depression is often confused with Manic depression or Bipolar disorder [BD]. According to experts, an estimated 20% people who are treated for depression turn out to have BD, but it takes several sessions/psychiatrists to find that out. Many teenagers and young adults between 15-25 years in age are afflicted with this disorder that is of 2 types. Substance abuse is often linked to BD. As youngsters are more prone to this disorder, they may take drugs or alcohol to help ease depression or to sleep better. There is a high risk of suicide in BD.

Individuals with BD-1 [also known as Manic depression] experience a period of full manic episode with periods of severe depression. The manic phase can last for days or months, making a person feel agitated, irritated, hyperactive with increased energy, having delusions of grandeur, racing thoughts, no self-control, indulging in reckless behavior with poor control over temper. It can lead a person to indulge in shopping sprees, binge eating and feel the need to sleep less. BD-2 brings hypomania – high levels of energy and impulsiveness, without a full-fledged manic episode.

A continuing state of ‘Anxiety’ can be serious enough to prompt medical treatment. There are a few types of Anxiety disorders: Panic disorder [PD], Social anxiety disorder [SAD], and Post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD]. SAD involves an irrational and persisting fear of social situations that can involve scrutiny or judgment by others, but the prognosis is usually good with treatment and antidepressants. In PD an individual can experience an unexpected attack of intense fear at any point of time, which can last for a few minutes or go up to a few hours, and this disorder is difficult to treat. PTSD is another challenging disorder; it can occur at any age, following a traumatic incident – it could involve war, assault, abuse, rape, and even a threat of death or injury. The trauma could be a personal experience, or related to somebody who is close to the patient; symptoms can be delayed for 6 months after the incident, which may get better within a few months, but can last for several years.

When you go for treatment, the psychiatrist will want to know if you have any cardiac problem, liver or kidney disease, a personal or family history of diabetes, seizures, glaucoma, or a bowel obstruction. Give a list of all your medicines, including prescription and over-the-counter, herbal products and nutritional supplements to the doctor so that the right dose regimen can be prescribed for you. If you have any allergies, let your doctor know, and do not combine alcohol or “street drugs” with Quetiapine, it can add to your drowsiness and worsen your condition. This medicine is not meant for comatose patients, those who have severe central nervous depression, who are being treated for Parkinson’s disease, or those who are heavily intoxicated.
Pregnant and lactating women, as well as those who are planning to have a baby must consult the doctor before taking the medicine. Like all anti-psychotic drugs, geriatrics, those who drive, or perform risky tasks, should refrain from doing so until they know how this medicine affects them and are sure of handling its’ effect.

Some of the medicines with which Seroquel interacts with include: other antipsychotic medicines, tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors [SSRIs], histamine antagonists, anti-anxiety medicines, antibiotics, anti-fungals, medicines for gastric problems, anti-seizure drugs, steroids, or medicines to treat cardiac conditions and hypertension.

The less serious side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, stomachache, headaches, blurred vision, missed period, breast tenderness or discharge, or weight gain. Serious side effects should be immediately reported to the doctor and can include: any mood/behavior changes like anxiety, irritability, aggressiveness, restlessness, depression, suicidal ideation, or hyperactivity; rapid, or uneven heartbeat; numbness/stiffness/weakness, particularly if it is only in one part of the body; flu-like symptoms; white patches/sores that occur inside the mouth or on the lips; problems with urination; or increased thirst/hunger. Likewise allergic reactions such as rash, hives, itching, difficulty in breathing, or a swelling in the face/tongue/throat means that the treatment should be stopped and the doctor should be informed at once.

Such disorders can be controlled with treatment – talk-therapy and the right medication
