SEROQUEL  (QUETIAPINE FUMARATE):  This medication is used to treat certain mental/mood conditions (such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, sudden episodes of mania or depression associated with bipolar disorder). Quetiapine is known as an anti-psychotic drug (atypical type). It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances (neurotransmitters) in the brain. This medication can decrease hallucinations and improve your concentration. It helps you to think more clearly and positively about yourself, feel less nervous, and take a more active part in everyday life. It may also improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level. Quetiapine can help prevent severe mood swings or decrease how often mood swings occur.   FDA Approval Date: 2005-10-04 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  PTSD War Veteran Weight Gain, High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, Type11 Diabetes, Glaucoma I'm putting this here as a warning. I've gained over 100lbs and now have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and trouble seeing. My life as I knew it is over and now I'm on a road to death. My married life is no life, the happeness I once knew is over. I'm setting here crying thinking about the life I once had, Its a life no one understands. Please find another way and don't let this drug seroquel take your life and happeness, the world around you is a dream. I'm not the man I use to be, I've been on this drug for 5 years at 600 Mg. now and it controls my life, I tried getting off of the drug and the withdraw is painfull. This drug seroquel is in control and is fighting me very hard and won't let me get off. M 5 years

 1  Bi Polar Disorder I am currently taking 400mg at night and have been for 4 years. I have lost a lot of my hair.gained about 40lbs around the stomach and suffer from daytime exhaustion even after sleeping for 15 hours. I also suffer from blocked nose at night and wake in panic when I can't breath. I have no libido at all.Since reading many of the comments on the site and seeing how similar they are to mine I have decided to wean myself off of this drug. I have not had a manic episode in 4 years but attribute this more to the lithium than the seroquel This is a serious drug and Doctors should give more information of the side effects before dispensing. F 4 years

 1  minor sleep disturbances Severe pain in my chest, thoughts of suicide, wanted to kill myself, extremely depressed, extremely tired, memory problems, basically impossible to function. I now know Seroquel is not FDA-approved as a sleep aid but that's what my doctor, Dr. Andrew Sarka, gave me it. It made me really tired, but the other horrible side effects were not worth it. I came really close to killing myself.
