Ok...ST I am currently engaged in a "lawsuit" against my pharmacy RE: serzone/seroquel mixup. I took seroquel for 30 days, I was supposed to take Serzone, and instead I took Seroquel for 30 days. THIRTY DAYS!!!!!!!!....trusting my pharmacy, I tried to ingest the side effects(tiredness, sweating, dizziness, ect,,,,) that both drugs share.I called my doctor to tell him how I felt....and he said (thinking I was on the "right" drug" these will vanish after the medicine has a chance to start working. (4-6 weeks.) I was prescribed serzone for depression, which worked form me in 1996 after the death of my father, 1 week before my wedding.It worked then...why would I doubt it now....after the birth of my second child.
For the Whole 30 days..I was sooo tired, dizzy, with no concentration. The worst part about it...is that I had TWO babies to take care of!!!/...I had to drive them to the supermarket, drive the to pre-school, and....all in a cloud of dizziness....because... SEROQUEL is a drug that is prescribed to people that are schizophrenic!!!
Well let me tell you this ...I am just a mother of two, that is a little depressed, that was inadvertantley given a drug that was not for me.
Soo....with all of the people that "fake" back/neck/.....ect injuries....mine truly was a life changing "stupid" mistake that I need to rectify "legally"ps...if anyone has a comment about injust lawsuits..think about this........the is a "warning" "blackbox" that was supposed to be given out with every prescription filled for serzone....with actually showed a picture of what the pill looked like...and I would'nt have known this until I suffered the THE TERRIBLE WITHDRAWL SYMPTOMS of seroquel, once the pharmacy "got it right" on my refill..and gave me serzone.
