| 4 | bipolar 1; anxiety; help me sleep | Cataracts when I was 55!!! (both eyes had to be operated on) (drug company recognizes this major side effect for humans but won't publicly confirm it)Interferes with memory and cognitive processes. Drowsiness. Caused aching in legs. Headaches (mild to moderate but occur daily; however, may be aggravated by Lamictal which I take and can cause headaches. | I take the medicine reluctantly because it has helped stabilize my bipolar condition. I feel strongly that it causes problems with clear thinking, coming up with ideas (no problem before) and memory loss. Major problem with cataracts needs to be publicizing. Manufacturer's PDR entry mentions (actually highlights) that dogs had gotten cataracts with this medicine. Former doctor said she believes it causes cataracts, but my cataracts were the price I had to pay for seroquel's positive effect on bipolar. I also take Lamictal (200 mg. a day); wellbutrin 300 mg.; Clonazepam (5 mg. a day) | M | 59 | 5 years | 2/27/2009 | 4 | Insomnia | wt gain 60 lbs, hi cholesterol | F | 59 | 3 years 400 mg 1X day | 6/10/2010 | 4 | Bipolar | I’ve had no side effects . | M | 59 | 8 years 100 MG | 11/18/2018 | 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 | 1 | Misdiagnosed BP and HM | Brain Zaps, Urine Smell excessive Sweating, hallucinations, delirium excessive urination , lose of friends,family, work, insomnia,craving sugar,aching bones,misdiagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis,nightmares,overactive libido,excessive anger,lose of feelings etc | Went cold turkey in August 2014, insomnia till December 2014,brain Zaps and loss of feelings,nightmares,excessive anger and sweating. I do not recommend going Cold Turkey yet it worked for me. Some people need this horrible drug and I didn't. I'm doing fine I drank lots of water during detox. I will never take a prescribed pill again until I do the research. Please research this pill before taking it. It's the Devil in a bottle,wicked drug,shame on Dr.s who use this as a catch all drug and anyone reading this be careful as it took me 4 years to get to the point of no more, goodbye and good riddance to Satin in a pill. For those of you fighting this drug good luck and you'll get better in time, I doubted myself some days and craved sleep for weeks yet I got through it time,patience and eating right it took months for my taste of foods to return,my destroyed relationships will never return and I blame AZ,the Dr.s and myself. True Story and read as much support information you can find lots of info on the web about this crazy,crappie god forsaken drug. Be careful as the side effects are lurking and will appear one day. Weight gain and diabetes are real as well as kidney and liver damage be sure to have those checked and vision. Currently the State of Texas is suing AZ. Off label prescription and the Black Box Warning is very real. I hope those who are taking this nasty wicked pill start the research if you have loved one on this drug research it for side effects | M | 59 | 4 years 300mg 3X day | 2/2/2015 | 1 | Bi-polar and Hypermania | All Delusions, hallucinations, sleep, dry mouth, weight gain, overactive libido, mood swings Over confidence all side effects.

Bam! I'm awake all night on the same dose. Very upsetting. Probably will not sleep at all tonight. | 59 | 6 days 25-50 mg 1X day | 12/9/2014 | 1 | Bi-polar and Hypermania | Just a bad over prescribed bad drug Went cold turkey, it cost me my life, it destroyed friendships, prescribed to shut me up, this drug is used as a catch all for any ailment, I would not recommend this for anyone, I'm working through insomnia and angst for not researching this drug, nothing will ever have me take this drug again, did not dose down did not tell my doctor, just left it along. | M | 59 | 4 years 300 | 10/10/2014 | 1 | depression | horrible. wrecked my life. ruined my looks my physical health robbed me of family and friends....starting to ruin marrage. people treat me like I weirdo drug addict. i use to be beautuful successful and fun. Now ugly hiding out no emotions. Don't touch this drug. | F | 59 | 9 months | 1/13/2018 | 1 | I had a few psychotic episodes | My main complaint is a tremendous weight gain of 25 pounds in 2 years. I take so much other stuff for depression, that I can't separate out the other symptoms. I desperately want to get off Seroquel and tried tapering it, but tapering threw me into even worse depression, so I had to go back on it. How can I stop using it? | I think it works for my depression, but I'm not positive, since I also take Prozac, Antenolol, and trazodone. I need a safe way to test out which meds are working for me and which I don't need. | F | 59 | 2 years | 12/12/2004 | 5 | Mania/psychosis | Hungover if I take more and have to get up before it is worn off or else I don't sle ep at all or wake up early. Had problems w/everything. | I also take ambien 12.5 and restoril 30 and lamictal 100 | F | 60 | 10 years 300 mg 1X day | 10/20/2011 | 4 | depression | none | I have been takeing seroquel 50mg and cymbalta 60mg. About 3 mo. ago i started feeling like i was in a black hole,sad crying felt hopeless. They up my cym. and seroquel. 90 mg cym. and seroquel xr 150mg. I started feeling better in a week.Still have a way to go. Going back to dr. today. I wouldnt wish this on nobody. | F | 60 | 8 months xr 150mg 1X day | 8/23/2010 | 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 | 3 | Depression and anxiety | Seroquel has always worked for immediate sleep UNTIL two months ago i was up all night and then finally fell asleep around eight in the morning. I felt horrible the rest of the day. I was afraid, but took it the next night and it worked UNTIL last night I was up alllll night wide awake. Horrible. Then around eight o'clock I think I passed Out and slept until my family woke me at two. What is happening? This scares me to death. The pharmacist doesn't know. I'm scared to go to bed tonight. I don't drink caffeine, nothing was different. If anyone has had this happen plze let me know. I'm scared. | I take regular Seroquel not xr | F | 60 | 6 years 300mg | 3/6/2015 | 3 | Chronic Pain, Sleep, Depression | Zombie, Spaced Out at times. Reduced sex drive. Memory problems. | Calming. Limits initiative and drive. Time travels fast. Find I can't remember names, places, things I should know. Concerned about long term brain damage? | M | 60 | 2 years 100 2X day | 9/3/2011 | 3 | Depresson and Sleep | Memory problems, blunted, zombie | After one year, still mixed about this medicine. I am concerned about long term impact and wonder if this has made permanent changes to my brain. I am complacent about things that used to bother me in the past. I know and remember but don't care about them. I am not a good medicine taking person and I think this may be why my doctor gave this to me. I am definitely compliant now and don't care. I have mixed feelings about this but seems that the drug wins out in the end. It is good to be able to relax but this drug at least for me takes away most of your emotions and zombie would be an exaggeration but since i am now very compliant and accepting person with little interest in or desire to resist anything. I guess I would say that it makes me more pliable and just happy to be and let the world go by. Since I remember how I was, wonder sometimes if this is a good think long term. Needed cogentin to combat some muscle problems. | M | 60 | 1 years 100mg 1X day | 12/26/2011 | 2 | Bipolar I | Pisa Syndrome(please google) *weight gain* | Seroquel is a very effective drug for me. I am now getting off Seroquel. It's the weight gain thing. If your genes are set up for you to gain weight on this, you will, probably very quickly. I've had enough and I usually put up with most side effects. At 60, putting on 40 pounds is dangerous. Really at any age. Hopefully Lithium and Lamictal will keep me afloat because I'm not gaining another pound on this. | M | 60 | 2 years 300 mg 1X day | 4/1/2013 | 1 | suppossed bipolar manic | caused QT prolongation, severe arrythmia, had to have heart defibrullated. Doctors don't care prescribed to me again in emergency room, of course I didn't fill it. Caused me to have weight gain problems, had to take more blood pressure meds because of it, memory problems permanently from it. | I was told by another pissed off psychiatric abuse survivor, it's the elephant tranquilzer. I've had nothing but side effects from 4 different kinds of bipolar, I refuse all psychiatric meds, they can fly men to the moon, do heart surgery by robots, but, they can't make drugs without horrible side effects. I am now a member of mindfreedom.org. I told the psychiatric to practice medicine on himself, and when he almost dies, see how he feels about taking more psychiatric drugs. I am not popular in the mental health field, and I don't care! | F | 60 | 3 months 200 1X day | 9/6/2012 | 1 | Anxiety | Bad side effects | M | 60 | 200 1X day | 1/30/2011 Patient History | 1 | Misdiagnosed BP and HM | Horrible Drug: To anyone taking this drug read the Black Box Warning and there are YouTube videos and read all the ratings of 1 on this site page and all the symptoms will become evident | WICKED DRUG, DO NOT TAKE FOR THE SIDE EFFECTS AND WITHDRAWAL ARE HELL ON EARTH. RESEARCH AS MUCH AS YOU CAN FOR IT WILL MESS UP YOUR NUEROTRANMITTERS AND YOUR LIFE. IT IS A NASTY WICKED DRUG .BEWARE,BEWARE,BEWARE | M | 60 | 4 days 300mg 1X day | 6/29/2016 |
