Psychiatrist stopped me from taking it immediately upon developing diabetes. | M | 62 | 3 years 200mg 1X day | 6/29/2014 | 1 | Skitzophraniac | High blood sugar that still hasn't gone away, couldn't get out of bed, couldn't talk Almost died! Ugh | This is as bass as abilify do not take | F | 27 | 1 days 1X day | 7/10/2014 | 4 | extreme chronic long-term insomnia | won't allow ADHD meds to work, makes me extremely hungry after taking it, causes or worsens depression, Regularly having full body feelings of extreme discomfort w/sick feelings after taking dose, impossible to wake up before noon the following day, cannot fall asleep & stay asleep without taking it, excellerated pounding heart & its rate, sleep eating at times, fast weight gain, withdrawals horrific accompanied with long period of suffering, etc...... | My diagnosis' are PTSD, depression, general anxiety disorder, chronic extreme insomnia, & AD/HD. When I was a preteen, I had the HUGE misfortune of being misdiagnosed as being bipolar. I lived with this stigma up until a couple months ago, when I realized I was not bipolar ever, but had AD/HD since I was a child. Several times while growing up, I was made by my family & psych's to spend time in many psych wards. Nightmare! I was first prescribed Seroquel in 2002 for "bipolar possible psychotic" symptoms. I took it at night & all it did was help me get a good sleep every night. So, that is why I continued taking it nightly up until 2004. I stopped because I had to relocate, and the county's mental illness dept. I was going to for my mental illness' dropped me. Then in 2006, when my daughter was born, I immediately started receiving psych treatment again at the above place, because I suffered extensive postpartum depression. I was put on different cocktails of meds all the time, because none of them helped me what-so-ever. Out of all those many pills, the Seroquel was the only one I chose to keep taking. I divorced that last psych. last year, but I was prescribed 800mg Seroquel to take every night by bedtime, to treat my insomnia for almost 7 yrs. now. It is a blessing for me by helping relax my brain, allowing me to both fall asleep & stay asleep every night. I have been reading all over the web that only very small dosages help insomnia-I believe ar | F | 38 | 7 years 800 MG 1X day | 7/21/2014 | 1 | depression | it ruined my life!!!! pure poison, nobody should be allowed to take this drug! | I have been weaning off this drug and it is the most terrible experience of my life....the withdrawal symptoms are terrifying. I wish I could take my DR to court for ever giving me this drug and not telling me why or what it is!!!!! | F | 50 | 2 days 150 2X day | 7/21/2014 | 1 | Bipolar/Depression | It didn't really help with my problem, just made me tired all the time. Realized, I don't need to be on it anymore. Weaning off of it slowly withdraws are horrible, so dizzy and nauseous. It's a very serious drug to come off of! Please give yourself time to come off it! I personally don't recommend this drug at all, because of what it does to your mind and body while on it. Hope this helps! | F | 32 | 3 years 200 Mg | 8/26/2014 | 5 | Bi Polar Disorder | I love Seroquel. Seroquel helps me sleep. BUT, there are some side effects that i have noticed that are...more hit or miss. And by that i mean i have the effect or i dont. i noticed that i have an adverse side effect that feels like suffocation. My nasal passages feel as if they are completely dried out...and when i touch them (yes stick my finger up m nose) they are dry. The sensation then feels like my nose is stuffed up really bad. to the point where i cant breathe correctly. This usually comes along about 30 mins after taking my dose. I take 400 mg at night. So, along with the drunken stupor i get settled into, i then feel as if i cant breathe. Understand that i am losing all function and just want to sleep, and the stupor im in is dizzying and im slurring and my eyes are half closed; now add in the fact that you feel as though you cant breathe. Its terrifying. This is where the fun part comes in. Panic sets in...and a mini or large panic attack *depending how sever your terror is, | Other than the night and morning affects: morning stupor fine after 7am... This medication is a life saver. I could have been really sick by now. MY bipolar disorder was hell. I was sick of having to deal with it, and tired of nothing working, tired of my moodswings. Terrified i was going to break. I have a 4yr son, and the last thing i wanted was for him to see me like this or worse, lashing out toward him. I didnt want to hurt anyone, This disease is scary, and im just happy i got my life back. | F | 29 | 4 months 400 1X day | 9/9/2014 | 1 | Bopolar disoder | Loss of vision; hallucination; loss of taste. Couldn't function and slept all the time. Loss memory and loss counts of days. Worst drug ever. Don't ever take. Don't ever let doctor prescride. | F | 10 days 300 mg | 9/29/2014 | 1 | Anxiety | Woke up and felt like I was on fire. Took it 23 hours ago and I feel so groggy! Will never take it again! | F | 46 | 1 days 150 | 10/9/2014 | 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 | 3 | Sleep troubles | Don't recall | It helps you sleep. | F | 14 | 1 years 50 1X day | 10/27/2014 | 3 | schizophrenia | lingering grogginess, memory lapses, word retrieval slowness, depression, apathy. | it's a great stabilizer over time, but I believe the tradeoff of blunting mental and emotional range, can make it tempting to go off it for a while, just to see if it would make life more interesting. | M | 44 | 7 years 50 1X day | 11/15/2014 | 3 | Depression | It made me calm and not depressed anymore. The cons i had was bad dreams.I had two dreams in one week about close family members dying. I stop taking them.I didnt like waking up with those horrible dreams. | F | 31 | 10 days 50 | 11/19/2014 | 1 | Bipolar Discorder/Insomnia | This medication did not really help me at all with my problems and it very possibly may have completely killed my reproductive function. I am currently waiting to find out if my body will ever recover, it has caused me to gain weight, develop breasts, varying levels of sexual dysfunction, it has damaged my blood sugar levels, and I may have completely lost the ability to procreate. There are over 10,000 law suits filed against AstraZeneca for things like this and I may be another soon, I implore you to research the rare and serious side effects before taking this in my experience worthless and dangerous pill. | M | 23 | 8 years 150mg 1X day | 12/3/2014 | 3 | Bipolar 2 depression | Was initially prescribed Seroquel XR and it made my severely fatigued - like I was sleeping around the clock. Dr. gave me ADDERAL to help me be more alert during the day but it was still a struggle. Went off due to major blood sugar spike. After a few months off and trying other meds I am back on the instant release with no major side effects so far. It's only been a couple of weeks though but so far so good. I am not depressed - yet - as I have been rapid cycling. Fingers crossed as I have been on SO many other mood stabilizers all with bad side effects. | F | 49 | 3 months 200 mg | 12/7/2014 | 1 | Insomnia | Not able to sleep | Seroquel was working fine to give me much needed sleep then one night. 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 |
