Diet drinks symptoms and conditions

******

Yes Seroquel can give you hair loss so I try and keep mine short, but also it is either except this danger or be sitting in the mental hospital never being happy and popping many other pills and never getting to a place of function.
I find if I am very sleepy but highly strung I will take a mild sleeping pill to take the edge of the just sleep mode, where the bad dreams happen or the falling from a building or the monsters come out to play.

The fact others describe some type of experience it shows a common in many of us,
The crave for sugar and fat foods is always on my mind, but this gives me massive head ake's, so even if diet drinks is one solution and still bad for the health, some choices still need to be made over all.
I have been on 500mg for say 7 or 8 years loss track of time but the point is do I want to feel crazy thoughts, I have had to work out what is best Vs the crap of sweating, dry mouth, skin rash's, oily skin, hair loss, sore eyes, not all side effects happen at once they do take their turn and line up to whats next, LOL.
b4 sleep I find a higher sex drive, maybe due to the relaxed state and my mind has no troubles in the world, with out the meds I can go 36 or 40 hours with out sleep, then comes the disordered thinking, so I have to make sure this does not happen much and manage my own mental health of choice to being well or feeling crappy.
When I cant poo for day or 5 days and the tummy is very heavy, I drink 2ltrs of orange juice and hydrate this is a must and many people will find their bodys need more liquids at time's than normal.
The people who get by on 50mg or 100mg for sleep you are so Lucky, I wish I could sleep on this does, but not possible.
I remember some years I went up the dose by 25 to 50mg and my body went into perspiration and feeling horny for hours on end, this went on for about a month so I went back to 500mg as per normal again.
Serquel is a drug and is also a poison either you take it or you don't but the fact is in most cases a sleeping or mental disorder exists.. and your seeking help or being helped.
Yoga and TiChi did not help slow the racing thoughts, So another choise is take the old style meds and sleep 20 hrs a day or take Seroquel and sleep 7 to 9 hours and still play a video game or go fishing more so do something with my life and work on the computer helping others.

Topamax is off label for weight loss. I was put on it after gaining about 35lbs from Seroquel. It took the weight off like it was supposed to. My dose has recently been stepped down because I'm back at my normal weight of 135 (I'm 5'11").

When I first started taking Topamax diet soda and other sugary things tasted really strange, which my doctor says he's never experienced before. I also had a numbness and tingling in my face and hands for about an hour or so after taking the pill for a while.

One more thing that I noticed about this drug is that while on it my vision went from perfect to needing to be corrected by glasses. I have read a few things about vision problems associated with Topamax but I am not sure if it caused my nearsightedness or not.

Thanks for letting me share my thoughts.

hated it. It was prescribed for insomnia and anxiety. Worked at first for the insomnia at 25 mg, then had to go up to 50 mg and barely worked then. My anxiety was worse, woke up with panic attacks. Vivid horrid nightmares. Spiraled into a severe, deep suicidal depression on it. Had hand tremors and restless legs. Currently weaning off. Never again!

Sounds like your husband may be on aspartame too. Does he use Nutrasweet products or diet drinks? If so go to www.sweetpoison.com and check out Dr.Janet Starr Hull's own almost surgery from a thyroid condition she had until she figured out what was killing her.

I do take Lisinopril and have severe itching on my arms.
