What side affects would seroquel have on a fetus where the mother was pregnant ?

Question

Is there a street drug during 1964-1965 that would have had similar chemical components ? Have any who are prescribed seroquel had issues with their legs or heart ?

To me this is a suicide drug in the wrong hands, and in a mother's home, a child protection issue. I have heard Seroquel is being taken to court. Does anyone have an internet link to this court issue ? I invite your comments.

hypotension:The vagus descends from the spinal cord in the carotid sheath, lateral to the carotid artery. It carries on past the aortic arch to dip inferiorly behind the left bronchus. Here it forms the pulmonary plexus, after giving rise to the recurrent laryngeal nerve.

The vagus nerve supplies motor parasympathetic fibers to all the organs except the suprarenal (adrenal) glands, from the neck down to the second segment of the transverse colon. The vagus also controls a few skeletal muscles, namely:

Levator veli palatini muscle
Salpingopharyngeus muscle
Palatoglossus muscle
Palatopharyngeus muscle
Superior, middle and inferior pharyngeal constrictors
Muscles of the larynx (speech).
This means that the vagus nerve is responsible for such varied tasks as heart rate, gastrointestinal peristalsis, sweating, and quite a few muscle movements in the mouth, including speech (via the recurrent laryngeal nerve) and keeping the larynx open for breathing.

Conversely, psychosis can occur in persons without chronic mental illness, as a result of an adverse drug reaction or extreme stress

Answer 1

The possibility of harm to a developing baby has not been ruled out. You should take Seroquel during pregnancy only if the benefits outweigh this potential risk. Remember to notify your doctor as soon as you become pregnant or decide to become pregnant.

It is not known whether Seroquel appears in breast milk, and breastfeeding is not recommended.

Answer 2

I do not have or know of a street name for this drug. It is phenothiazine type drug and is used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Examples of phenothiazines include: chlorpromazine (brand name: Thorazine), fluphenazine (Duraclon), mesoridazine (Serentil), perphenazine (Etrafon and Trilafon), prochlorperazine (Compazine), promazine (Robinul and Anectine), thioridazine (Seroquel), trifluoperazine (Stelazine) and triflupromazine (Robinul).

I found the following info from:
http://www.medicinenet.com/quetiapine/article.htm

PREGNANCY: There are no adequate studies of quetiapine in pregnant women . Studies in animals are inconsistent. Some studies suggest effects on the fetus and others show no effects. Quetiapine should only be used in pregnancy if the physician feels that it is absolutely necessary and that the potential benefits justify the unknown risks.

NURSING MOTHERS: Quetiapine is excreted in the milk of animals during lactation. Although it is not known if it is excreted in human milk, it is recommended that women taking quetiapine not breast feed.

SIDE EFFECTS: Frequent adverse effects include headache, agitation, dizziness, drowsiness, weight gain and stomach upset. Quetiapine can cause orthostatic hypotension (a drop in blood pressure upon standing that can lead to dizziness or fainting) especially during the first 3-5 day period of treatment, when it is restarted after temporary discontinuation, and after an increase in the dose. The risk of orthostatic hypotension is about 1 in 100 (one of every hundred patients who takes quetiapine). Quetiapine frequently causes tiredness (1 in 5 patients), especially during the first 3-5 days of treatment. Because of this tiredness, care should be exercised in any activity requiring mental alertness such as operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery. Less common side effects include seizures (1 in 125 patients) and hypothyroidism (1 in 250 patients).


The court issues are related to diabetes and pancreatitis. Here are two links to lawyers for the case:

Anything can cause death, including too much water. Too much Tylenol can easily kill a child, but a responsible parent will have this and other medications out of reach.

If the person is schizophrenic or bipolar, the medication may do more good than harm. My aunt is schizophrenic and has been violent and hospitalized in the past. If she goes off her meds I WILL NOT see her. I do not know what she is on now, but it is a relatively new medication and it has done wonders for her. Each case is different.

Answer 3

Thyroid disease is one of the most common health problems we face today. From a practical standpoint, there are many ways to approach this issue. Learn here https://tr.im/uexTo

Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is a very common problem, and there are many reasons for this, including drinking chlorinated and fluoridated water, and eating brominated flour.

Chlorine, fluoride, and bromine are all in the same family as iodine, and can displace iodine in your thyroid gland.

Secondly, many people simply aren't getting enough iodine in their diet to begin with. The amount you get from iodized salt is just barely enough to prevent you from getting a goiter.
