Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 Seroquel, an antipsychotic, can cause tardive dyskinesia which is a movement disorder, a periodic limb movement disorder if you wish. Effexor and Seroquel together or separtely can lower the seizure threshold. Odd movement at night can be a form of nocturnal seizures. What do you need as evidence? Both these explanations should be common knowledge for doctors (but unfortunately isn't) and the information about TD and seizures is discussed in the prescribing informtion for both drugs. > > I am looking for evidence that effexor, serequel, or combos will cause > Periodic Limb Movement at night.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 BTW, for what diagnosis is someone taking Effexor and Seroquel? My reading has lead me to believe that most of the time when I see that combination, the person was put on the Effexor first, developed adverse reactions for which the Seroquel was prescribed. Seroquel will NOT stop an adverse reaction to Effexor. Only stopping the Effexor will do that. > > I am looking for evidence that effexor, serequel, or combos will cause > Periodic Limb Movement at night. Thanks. > > > Quote

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 This might be a good time to once again tell everyone how they can access on line the FDA approved prescribing information for most of the drugs we use. The precribing information is also known as the label or the insert and is what is published in the PDR. It is the very same information that doctors or pharmasist use. Start at www.google.com. In the search engine, put in " [Name of Drug] prescribing information " You will get a lot of hits. Look for the ones that are on websites that are the name of the drug (for instance, Abilify's is one it's web site at www.abilify.com), the name of the drug manufacturer or at rxlist.com. They are usually the best source. For the first two, you usually need Acrobat Reader on your computer though more and more are being posted in HTML. (If you don't have Acrobat Reader, all the sites have a link where you can get it.) Very occassionally you may have to go into the part of the site marked for professionals. I recommend the Rxlist if you have never read one of these before. They have it divided nicely so that you can find doses or adverse reactions or warnings, or contraindications, etc. I use the search or find option on my browser or the Acrobat Reader a lot to find specific information. For instance, if you want information about use of that drug by children, search for " Pediatric " . You will find a mind boggling list of adverse reactions for all the drugs. Keep in mind that every single reaction listed has occurred, usually in the clinical setting. It includes the most common reactions and the rare ones. It is what has occur for some people taking the drug. And there is generally a comparison between the drug and the placebo used in the clinical studies. Remember the difference between the percentage of people experiencing the adverse reaction while on the drug minus the percentage on the placebo is the percentage of people on the drug who will be expected to experience that reaction.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 Almost all of the prescribing informations are available on line.... all of them if you can figure out how to use the FDA site. In fact, the on-line versions are better than the paper versions because the on-line ones are more up-to-date. Those little paper inserts may have been sitting on the pharmacy shelf and not reflect a change that was made.....say, last month. The PDR you find may be out-of-date. Many of the on-line versions are set up with a table of contents so you can click on those the adverse reactions or contraindications. Some are merely scanned copies of the paper inserts. RxList.com is set up with the vaiouse sections tabbed. You use the search function to find specific information. I keep one browser tab open to google and one open on the prescribing information. If I find something I don't understand, I simple copy and paste it into google, then checking either the definition or other sources that come up. There is a formula for these things and they all follow the same order pretty much. After you read a few, you get the hang of them. > > The precribing information is also > > known as the label or the insert and is what is > > published in the PDR.
