| 2 | schizoaffective bipolar | dry mouth, constipation, nasal inflammation, increased heart rate, weight gain, elevated serum cholesterol, livid dreams. | I didn't know about the heart rate and cholesterol connection until my doctor commented that they had both dropped to normal levels shortly after discontinuing seroquel. I'm on gedon now, just have to take it a good six hours before bedtime, or it's up all night. | M | 52 | 1 years | 6/22/2004 | 5 | insomnia mainly, also for anxiety | Somnolence is virtually the only serious side effect I had. But since I use it as a sleeping aid, its not really a side effect for me. It works great on anxiety during the day too - take it at bedtime. I feel rested in the morning. | No shakes, no spacey feelings, no major libido problems with it at 150mg/day. This is good given its an antipsychotic. Other ones I tried had way more side effects. | M | 25 | 2 years | 5/25/2004 | 2 | Bipolar disorder | Swelling of hands and feet | This medication did nothing for me. | F | 51 | 3 months | 5/19/2004 | 3 | Depression with anxiety/worry | lightheadedness, drowsiness | I take 25mg in the am, 25mg in the afternoon and 100mg at bedtime- the drowsiness it causes is great at night but sometimes I don't take it during the day for the same reason. I believe it does help to calm me as I don't eat out of anxiety as much as I did before. | F | 28 | 4 weeks | 4/20/2004 | 2 | mood stabilizer | muscle twitching in head and neck, extreme fatique, short term memory loss and inability to concentrate. Also extreme symptoms with late or missed dose such as dialted pupils, rapid heart beat, dizziness, fainting, weakness, anxiety, hyperactivity and restlessness. | I have been taking this drug for over 2 years and am still not sure that it has done anything positive. I've been on a combination of drugs however so it is hard to be sure. I've been expieriencing muscle twitiching for the last couple months, which is a symptom of tartive dyskenisia so I am currently tapering off. | F | 18 | 2 days | 4/12/2004 | 4 | Bipolar Disorder | Drowsiness | Made me extremely sleepy at first, but now I can take 50 mg before a meeting or when I anticipate being stressed to prevent a panic attack. I take 200-300mg at night and I sleep great all night long! | F | 32 | 4 months | 4/8/2004 | 4 | schizophrenia | restless legs | F | 33 | 3 years | 3/28/2004 | 3 | schizophrenia | Wait gain was the largest side effect. I'm short guy and I've always hovered around 130-140 lbs. But since I've been on seroquel (about 12 mos) I've gained nearly 10-15 lbs. I've gained four pants sizes. I hate it. Secondly, it makes me way too sleepy... after an hour after I take the medication I'm usually unable to move about without tripping and falling. On the flipside, without it I can't sleep, and if I do sleep, it's like a 2 hour nap. Not fun. | If you decide to discontinue use, gradually do it and see your doctor first. I've noticed if I go even a day without taking it, I won't be able to relax, often catching myself pacing back and forth, or having grand delusions. | M | 24 | 12 months | 2/14/2004 | 3 | Bipolar I. dissorder | The main side effects I have experianced are dizzines and drowsiness | M | 24 | 4 months | 1/30/2004 | 1 | major depression | tired,confused,emotional numbness, dizzy, ringing in ears,hangover feeling in morning, dry mouth,weight gain,etc. etc. | garbage. I am tapering myself off. | M | 48 | 3 months | 1/12/2004 | 5 | bi-polar/anxiety/sleep disorder | drowsiness, dizziness | i have used several anti-psychotics including abilify,geoden, and zyprexa---I have the least side effects with seroquel and is an effective medication in assisting with sleep and prevention of psychosis | 6 months | 12/23/2003 | 3 | major depression,psychosis | dry mouth,some memory loss,dizzy,unusal moods,emotional numbess,exhaustion,ringing in ears | have been on 400mgs a day for a month.dont know yet if the benifits(less anxious,less easily upset,moodswings lessen)is worth the side effects. | M | 48 | 4 weeks | 11/28/2003 | 3 | to sleep and prevent psychosis | extreme sleepiness, increased appetite | i have to take more than i did at first to be able to sleep, and i have gained some weight | F | 21 | 8 months | 11/17/2003 | 5 | Schizophrenia | Sleepiness, twitching of muscles. | F | 20 | 5 years | 10/18/2003 | 5 | Mood Stabilization | none! | This med TURNED MY LIFE AROUND! Thank goodness for Seroquel!!! =) | M | 25 | 1 years | 8/8/2003 | 5 | schizophrenic | Very sleepy for the first month. Since then no side effects of any type. | Thanks to Seroquel I've been stable and symptom free for five years now. | M | 32 | 6 years | 7/26/2003 | 4 | drug induced psychosis | initially fatigued | fatigue wore off quickly and anxiety dropped | M | 27 | 5 weeks | 6/9/2003 | 3 | anxiety, sleep | drowsiness | 28 | 1 years | 4/28/2003 | 2 | Sleep disorder, anxiety | Agitation, Anxiety, Zombie like feeling the next day, insomnia. | M | 40 | 4 weeks | 4/4/2003 | 4 | anxiety | Dry mouth, drowseness. | Helped in slowing me down.
