First of all get rid of the Seroquel Extended Release. It is no good and takes for ever to put you to sleep. Ask for regular Seroquel. It puts you to sleep faster.
See Seroquel has not giving the rights for other companies to make the generic version yet. Seroquel is such a hit they are going to ride it out as long as possible for that cash. That is why they came out with XR to make more money of the name brand. Now I can't say that some people might actually prefer the XR because different strokes for different folks but if you have insomnia, the regular Seroquel kicks in faster and if you take it around 9pm or 11pm you will fall asleep faster and wake up earlier.
There is a generic name for Seroquel called Quetiapine but it is not being made yet just like I said above because Seroquel is a cash pot right not
Seroquel is not for insomnia.....Seroquel is an anti psychotic. Ambient is used for insomnia. |
An extension to a line usually doesn't extend the patent by much if at all.
As for milking the cash cow, well what do you expect?
It takes on average US$800-900 million dollars and 12 years to get a drug to market. That's a significant investment. You think drug companies just pull that out of their asses and are happy to work as not for profit organisations? |

I quite aware of this, thank you. But they seem to be extending the patent more these days. I was kinda on a rant and should have got more into detail but my point was about him taking XR. He should use regular Seroquel and also I never heard of Seroquel being used for insomnia but I am sure if you take it long enough an Ambient would be like a Dragonfly to a Vampire.
True Blood anyone :) |

You are an idiot. Trazodone is an antidepressant and has nothing to do with your stuffy nose. What you have is another symptom that is irrelevant to your prescription. Clearly...your serotonin levels are low on foods, which might cause an immune disorder, which might cause your "stuffy nose". But that is very unlikely, since Trazodone is not a tricyclic antidepressant, which could collide with your immune system. But since you don't have any constipation or rapid dry mouth, I highly doubt that the medicine is causing the symptom, or as many would say "side effect". |
He never said he's started taking the drug, so who's the idiot?

It's funny how prescription meds go out of fashion, just like heroin did post-80s. What's wrong with good old diazepam? |

The -pams are often thought of as strongly addictive, with serious rebound effects when stopped.
But it is turning out that the -clones may have quite a similar pattern of addiction anyway. |

Only true if you use it in high doses for a long period of time. It's easy to come off benzos if you taper VERY slowly.
Problem with diazepam is that it has a high as balls half-life, so the drug and/or its metabolites accumulate in your body over time.
I used to take 2mg lorazepam a night, EVERY night (as opposed to as needed) to help me sleep for 6 months. Got tapered off it over a month. |

The pam's are so much better than xanax, for me. Xanax knocks me out, gets me high as , and gets me addicted like instantly.
Never had a problem with any of the pam's. They do their job right and I can get off them easily.
xanax. |

I still can't get over the fact that doctors are giving you benzos to help you sleep. Benzos! I mean for the love of Christ on a ing pink bike :wtf:
I was actually just about to sell a new pain drug called Jurnista from Janssen-Cilag that's a hydromorphone, the benefit being that it lasts for 24hrs so the comedown is less severe.
Like the intelligent being that I am though, I opted to remain in the cardiovascular field instead. |

Before zolpidem and zopiclone came out benzos were commonly prescribed because they have sedating properties. In fact, zolpidem and zopiclone act in a similar way as benzos but at a different binding site. |

Yea but it's 2010, not the 90s. Don't doctors over there regularly change the guidelines? |
