[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 383497, member: 1963"] Well, she's on a low doseage of Seroquel, but if you do some googlling on APs and swallowing difficulties...you should find the data there. I had a feeding phobia from 17 until about 25. Ilived mostly on carnation and ensure. My phobia was about solids and was triggered by an incident in which I nearly choked to death on a peice of cheese. I was very lucky that my husband to be was there and knew the Heimlich maneuver. Even with the feeding shakes, I still lost a lot of weight. I still remember that time. In fact, when I described my current problem to my psychiatrist and attributed it to my anxiety having gotten really bad, he told me it was from the medication. I was lucky in that once I came off the seroquel, not only was I able to start eating normally, but a lot of other UGLY CNS side effects, like my knees buckling and the like also quit. I'm on a low dose of Haldol and take benzatropine for the Haldol tremor. So far no signs of tardive dyskenesia, which is good as I will NEVER take another atypical modern antipsychotic. I simply cannot tolerate the side effects of the medications. Now, I was on a much higher dose of Seroquel than your daughter is on, but it mightn't hurt to take that into consideration especially as the feeding issues seem to have gotten worse since she was placed on the medication [/QUOTE]
