3 | paranoid pyschotic tendencies | Extreme drowsiness(both after taking it and after waking up), dizziness, increased urination | I was admitted to a mental facility and prescibed seroquel for paranoid psychotic tendencies. I began with a 25mg. dose then progressed to 100, then 300mg all within the following week. It helped with the paranoia and the lack of sleep. But due to the recent information I have received I am not sure if the medicine was worth the side-effects it has been shown to cause. | F | 16 | 6 months | 2/22/2007 | 2 | Bipolar Type 2 | Severe memory loss. Ever since I've started to take it I've had to write myself reminders on the bathroom mirror in soap so that I wouldn't forget things. I have never had this problem up until I've started taking this medicine. | It's good, it really is, but I would rather have my memory than be treated. | F | 16 | 3 months | 11/19/2006 | 2 | Depression | weight gain (15 pounds so far)Dry mouth, always tired | I have had no changes in my mood since starting seroquel, the only thing it does is make me sleep alot. I take 250 mg once a day before i go to bed. | M | 16 | 23 days | 11/29/2006 | 2 | I just started Seroquel at 25 mg, then slowly up to 300mgs. The first night i look 300mg, i started having crazy muscle spazms, and jittery eye vision. I also saw things like shadows. i felt like i was going insaine... I guess it works for some, but definitely not for me. | F | 16 | 6 days | 8/24/2008 | 5 | Insomnia(anxeity) | Other then being knocked out cold within 30 minutes of taking it the first week, I've had few (unwarranted) side effects. | Used to have intermitant bouts of insomnia, where I wouldn't sleep or only sleep for 3-4 hours a night for up to a week at a time. Works wonders for insomnia caused by anxeity, have always fallen asleep within a hour after taking 50-150mg. No more racing thoughts, upset stomach, etc.. At a lower dose I will ocasionally wakeup in the middle of the night. Never have had such regular good sleep. Even better is not having withdrawls if I don't feel the need to take it. Now if only I can get off the f***ing klonopin the doc previously started me on. | M | 17 | 1 months | 4/12/2007 | 5 | toxic psychosis | i experience alot of side effects when i first started taking it right away i noticed a difference talking alot which was good butt weight gain its horrible i couldnt control it i had stopped taking seroquel when i started again it was the intake f food i couldnt control but it was my moods i was screaming at everyone wanted to fight with everyone and then i would start crying and then i`d be happy basically i also tried risperdal but seroquel for me worked | even though the side effects might be strong it all becomes worth it in the end i now stopped this drug but this drug works well and after you stop this drug the weight gain goes away but you might have trouble sleeping but now i dont feel paranoid anymore and i have more self esteem and is less withdrawn | F | 17 | 8 months | 8/20/2006 | 5 | toxic psychosis | also on thing i forgot to say about this i had no concentration so i failed my school year i couldnt stay focused | again it works great! but your always tired and dont seem to wana move and eat as if ur always high off marijuana | F | 17 | 8 months | 8/20/2006 | 5 | Schizophrenia | Sleepiness, Dry mouth. | This drug works better for me than Risperdal or Largactil and with less side effects. I take 450mg a day. I have problems with speech, memory and thinking, There's been a lot of improvement. It's helped with anxiety but the attacks haven't stopped altogether. It also helps with insomnia. | M | 17 | 6 months | 2/21/2006 | 5 | for bipolar disoder and depression | if yuo taking this medicine you might want to take something for the side effects that couse me that i coul not walk or talk or move my hands for at least 1-3hrs it last for | it does make me feel bettr and know i can even work and deal with feeling | F | 17 | 3 years | 9/21/2005 | 5 | PTSD, Depression, Anxiety | Minor weight loss, some imbalance, odd vision effects, vivid dreams, very sleepy, occasional tics | This drug has made me feel like I am myself for the first time in years. I experienced minor weight loss, like 3 pounds, maybe I will gain weight I don't know, I don't really mind. It gives me the most vivid dreams which I enjoy, though they are strange. I usually remember them very clearly. It leaves me very sleepy, though. | F | 17 | 2 weeks 150 1X day | 3/28/2010 | 4 | Phycosis | Sleepyness, weight loss, dry mouth, freqent urination, involuntary movement of mouth. | I think Seroquel is the most wonderful drug that I have ever been prescribed. My sleep has greaty improved and I wake up less aggitated. I have become easy to get along with and has stopped SOME delusions that I have, and has helped with some of the obsessive compulsiive things that I do. At the time, I am taking 900 mg every night, but as I take them at night I become EXTREMELY tired and I hardly make it to my bed in time. ( will fall asleep on floor if bed is too far) Overall I think that Seroquel is an amazing drug that has greatly helped me with my phycosis. | F | 17 | 4 weeks | 5/27/2006 | 4 | Mood d/o nos, anexiety, sleep | the biggest one is weight gain, i have to take at least 600mg at bed time for it to work. | I am currently trying to come off it, but my anexiety has been through the roof, and even 2mg of extended release xanax isnt working | M | 17 | 1.5 years | 7/4/2007 | 3 | Anxiety and Mania | Increased Hunger, no libido, muscle weakness, brain fog and apathy | Other then the side effects it helped the mania, per say, but instead of feeling at a normal level I felt apathetic. For anxiety it helped 100% | M | 17 | 3 days | 1/3/2008 | 3 | Schizoaffective disorder | terrible sleepiness, couldnt get up in the morning. always thirsty, and hungry. Zombie like states. Always off balance. TERRIBLE time waking up. Missed tons of school because of this | didnt gain weight because i caught myself eating a lot and held myself back. I would have gained quite a bit tho. | M | 17 | 1 years | 6/2/2006 | 3 | Depression | none | It helped me sleep, but didn't do anything for the chemical imbalance. | F | 17 | 3 months | 2/6/2007 | 3 | "symptoms" | After increasing 100 mg to 400 mg instantly- my dad was mad at me- I experienced a sudden reaction to my computer light flickering. I started screaming because I was having some type of epileptic like symptoms- or seizures. I couldn't go into the hallway because the light was making me go into a painfull shock and then I went downstairs- it continued- I was ready to call the police- then I sat down and started hallucinating- I was seeing lucid spikes circling on the couch. After I had to calm myself down I continued on 400 mg. Then, at the psychiatrists he said so how are we on 100mg. Totally forgot he even increased it- then we told him, he decreased it to 200 mg, then recently just increased it to 300 mg. Which is fine. I still get these tiny shock feelings sometimes. It was a terrifying experience. I basically hallucinated because of increasing this medication. I thought I should share this because no one else seems to have had this symptom. | It helps me sleep well and so far- being the only drug I take- guess it helps my "symptoms"... | F | 17 | 5 months | 10/30/2006 | 3 | Depression, insomnia | Sleepy and groggy to the point of not being able to function throughout the day. Appetite increased. Loss of memory. | I take 150mg of seroquel every night and it does help me sleep, i dont wake up every hour anymore. My anxiety has decreased as well. | F | 17 | 2 days | 5/2/2006 | 3 | Depression, insomnia | Sleepy and groggy to the point of not being able to function throughout the day. Appetite increased. Loss of memory. | I take 150mg of seroquel every night and it does help me sleep, i dont wake up every hour anymore. My anxiety has decreased as well. | F | 17 | 2 years | 5/2/2006 | 3 | Psychotic episode, insomnia | Sleepy | F | 17 | 3 months 150MG | 9/29/2013 | 2 | Psychosis, paranoia, MDD, DID | Extreme drowsiness..I fell asleep in class. My neck kept twitching. Muscle stiffness and spasms..I couldn't straighten my arms. Vision problems - could see flashing all of the time. Made me EXTREMELY depressed and suicidal. Made me eat like crazy and confused. I've never felt so awful. | It did, however, take away my paranoia and visions.. and had a deep, long sleep...BUT wasn't worth the side effects for me, it might be good for some people..but definitely wasn't right for me | F | 17 | 2 days 25MG 2X day | 8/18/2011 |
