| 1 | Bipolar | OK short term, very bad long term. Experienced stiffness, complete lack of empathy and compassion, extreme exhaustion, total disinterest in everything, suicidal thinking, tardive dyskinesia,lack of emotion and a seething depression. | Withdrawal from this drug is hell on earth!! Do not stop cold turkey! Even reducing slowly I have experienced terrible rebound insomnia, sickness, itching and irritability. | F | 53 | 10 years 400 1X day | 12/18/2015 | 4 | insomnia | The main one is that I get joint pain or like an ache in my left elbow and knee, starting one hour after I take it at night, and lasting for an hour. Can't sleep till it goes away. It comes on, spikes to an intense level, then goes away for 10-15 seconds. Anybody have any ideas how to deal with this? | M | 60 | 2 years 300mg 1X day | 12/4/2015 | 4 | Bipolar and depression | Joint pain, dry mouth, difficulty waking up. | Seroquel works fine and I never had any problems with it except for the joint pain that won't go away. But strangely they don't list joint pain as a side effect at all. Wondering if anyone else has been taking it for more than 6 months and has experienced joint pain as well. | F | 30 | 2 years 200 | 12/2/2015 | 3 | Bipolar | Even when I take a lower dose it's hard to get up in the morning. If I don't take it I don't sleep at all. Weight gain . I have never been so thirsty in my life. Don't want to be sociable coz I don't like explaining my illness | F | 30 | 2 years 100 -75 | 11/27/2015 | 3 | Depression, anxiety and BPD | Massive red/purple spots appear all over body, especially face, weight gain, and swollen legs. | It helps me sleep, and seems to help a little. | F | 24 | 1 years | 11/22/2015 | 4 | Insomnia | Only 4 days but works great. Does what it was supposed to do. | All this idiots who report strange side effects after one day are bogus. You can tell by the way the reviews are written. Ignore them | M | 59 | 4 days 50mg | 11/14/2015 | 3 | Initial dizziness, dry mouth, cravings for sugary food which is why I nicknamed this drug "Sugarquel" rapid weight gain, sluggishness, et al. | The medicine, along with Trazodone 150 mg tabs and Clonazepam (Klonopin) 0.5mg tabs initially would knock me out cold, but now they seem to take longer idk why. Otherwise its a good medication. | F | 56 | 10 years 300 mg at | 11/13/2015 | 3 | Bipolar (cyclothymic) | extreme tiredness, stiffness | the weight problem goes off with time passing. the fatigue doesn't. I am currently on a 225 mg at nighttime. Kind of habit now, I get used to it. Best way is to move swiftly with 25 mg pills, ea from 200 to 225 then back to 200, 175 etc... But all the "mental" side effects are weakening (vivid dreams, vision double, sore eyes...) | M | 53 | 8 years 225 mg 1X day | 11/13/2015 Patient History | 1 | Insomnia, mild depression | Zombie like, spacy, could not do normal daily chores, could not focus | Do not take!!!!!!!! | M | 67 | 2 days | 10/18/2015 | 1 | belief of a prexisting diagnsis | Heart heavy n very hard to swallow walk. Masturbated so much. Miserable existence. Loss of years of truly getting to know who i was the list goes on | Just dont take it. Usually a mental or physical problem is caused by unresolved issues. | M | 26 | 1 days forgot | 10/16/2015 | 1 | Bipolar 2 & insomnia | fatigue, restlessness, vivid stress dreams, total lack of interest in sex, erectile dysfunction, feeling emotionally null, foggy mind on waking and getting worse throughout the day, next to impossible to wake up and get out of bed. | So hard to get any quality of sleep with bipolar. Thought this was the solution, first night I was out like a light. Every night after that just left me drowsy, irritated, foggy and restless and when I did eventually get to sleep I was tormented with stress dreams. Rock and a hard place with these medications. | M | 35 | 1 years 250 | 10/7/2015 | 2 | For sleep | Only worked for a couple nights in a row. Got anxious in daytime. Zyprexa works better. | M | 63 | 30 days 50 MG 1X day | 9/27/2015 | 1 | Insomnia | Constipation (go to the bathroom about once or twice a week), weight gain/fat increase (15-20 pounds), daytime fatigue, increased sun sensitivity (huge increase in moles, freckles, and sun spots even with VERY minimal sun exposure) | Unacceptable weight gain. Mostly FAT gain around my stomach area. Me and my family are naturally thin but now I look TERRIBLE, and I did NOT change my healthy eating habits...in fact, I ate LESS. Gained 3-4 inches on waist eating ONLY between 900 and 1800 calories most days (usually about 1200 a day). Sun sensitivity has given me white spots all over my body (dermatologist says from the sun) and a TON of new ugly moles. Weird thing is I avoid the sun like the plague now but I STILL get new moles. Only while on seroquel. This drug is the devil. Avoid it at all costs unless you are seriously schizophrenic!!! It is also dreadful to try to get off of. | F | 29 | 1 years 12.5-25mg | 9/2/2015 | 1 | Tourettes and ADHD | Brain was so wiped out the morning after taking first dose, I couldn't focus enough to read the morning news. Shortly thereafter, body had a horrible tic attack. The rest of the morning, my brain was a complete fog - sat at my desk at work and just stared at the papers in front of me, unable to read or comprehend anything. By far this the WORST medication I have ever taken. It should be removed from the market. | M | 38 | 1 days | 8/24/2015 | 4 | EUPD & Severe Anxiety | Quetiapine has helped my mental health problem loads. I'm not so caught up on negative emotions anymore and my relationships are building back to where they should be. Overall mentally this prescription drug has helped me for the better. Only side effect noted on my body is enhancement of breast size. Highly painful when increasing in size; but as I 'was' a woman of smaller proportion... this seems to be adding confidence to me as well as building my mental and emotional positivity. | I have been diagnosed with EUPD (Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder) , Severe Anxiety & previously under 5yrs ago PTSD for being sexually assaulted at work by a 79yr old. | F | 24 | 9 weeks 50mg | 7/28/2015 | 4 | Not sure | Increasing memory loss, everything seems not real, passive and compliant. Lived so long in the Seroquel world, seems impossible to think more than a few thoughts ahead as it all starts to fade and go in circles. | It has been a slow long process to unplug my brain. Now I am paranoid and not sure the medication has done anything to slow or stop the paranoia. I think my doctor is experimenting on me. Has me on klonopin, Seroquel, Temazepam. Now she has added additional 200 mg of Seroquel during the day. Only in the morning for a short time can I seem to think a little of my own thoughts in the fog of Seroquel hangover. I read somewhere these are brain disabling drugs, a chemical lobotomy in a pill form. I hope this is not permanent but the strange part is I don't seem to care anymore if it is. I used to think it weird when whe would smile when she said this will probably make you feel a little funny, don't drive, but you will adjust. What's worse the cure or the disease. | M | 63 | 3 years 600 mg 2X day | 7/26/2015 | 4 | Psychosis, Severe Depression | Dry mouth, Shaking/Twitching, Decreased Appetite, Mood Swings, Decreased Motivation, Extreme tiredness | While I had decreased psychotic episodes the ones I did have were far more intense. I, at times, would become extremely dissociated from the world, I couldn't tell if anything was real anymore. The previous statement was worsened by the extremely vivid and life like dreams that I had while on the drug. | M | 16 | 1.2 years 75 mg 1X day | 7/14/2015 | 4 | bipolar | Teleportation | It works once you get used to it | M | 29 | 2 years 600 1X day | 6/30/2015 | 1 | Mild depression. *MILD* | Only awake for 3 hours out of every day. Severe paranoia. Anxiety. Increased suicidal thoughts and behavior. Vivid nightmares. The deepest pit I've ever found myself in. This should NOT be used to treat mild depression. | I was 17 at the time, mildly depressed, and needed good counseling. I was instead pumped full of chemicals that wreaked havoc on my whole being. I did not go back to that psychiatrist. | F | 17 | 3 months 60mg | 6/18/2015 | 1 | Anxiety Disorder | Racing Heart, even worse panic attacks. Sugar problems. Weight gain. Dizziness. Spacy feeling. Always tired | I wouldn't recommend anyone to take this medicine. I'm always so tired from this pill and it causes you to be so hungry. Made my panic attacks worse. | F | 20 | 3 months | 6/18/2015 |
