| 3 | Bipolar disorder w/psychotic feat. | Hallucinations, insomnia when tried to be pulled off of it, crying spells, memory loss, zombie-like, excessive sleeping, irregular heart beat. | I went through psychosis from getting off of adderall and an ssri. I wasn't sleeping at all! Luckily the doctor put me on seroquel, and I didn't have any EPS which I normally get from antipsychotics. I want to get off of seroquel because I'm afraid of getting diabetes. I should be on a higher dose but I don't like the way it makes me feel. My biggest fear is having rebound psychosis. | F | 23 | 8 months 50mg 1X day | 1/9/2013 | 3 | Bipolar disorder/insomnia | Dry mouth, extreme tiredness | I slept around 14 hours a day and could not shake that groggy, tired feeling | F | 36 | 1 years 200 MG 1X day | 5/3/2013 | 3 | bi polar disorder | Restless legs, falling asleep with food in my mouth horrible horrible weight gain. While it helps with my mania and insomnia I cant help thinking how much better I felt when I was skinny. I stopped taking it for a week and I lost alot of weight quickly but I developed an intense fear of food. Unfortunately due to the stress that is my mother in law I had to go back on it. Im a good person and dont want to hurt anybody. Im also dissapointed in myself cuz i had almost no wirhdrawl symptoms. Now the fat zombie is back. | F | 26 | 2 years 250mg | 2/26/2013 | 3 | to sleep at night | weight gain sleepyness | i was on higher doses like 600 twice a day and it made me like a zombie. | F | 14 | 2 years 300mg 1X day | 10/4/2011 | 3 | bipolar disorder | very sleepy all the time, dry mouth and moody, the sleepiness is a real problem for me as I have a 5 yr old son. I've found that people irritate me all the time which could be to do with the drowsiness however my irrational thoughts (this is what my phycs calls it) have seemed to of calmed down a bit which is nice. | i hope this works! | F | 23 | 2 weeks 600 1X day | 11/1/2011 | 3 | insomnia | Habituation, lost effectiveness | used to work wonders but quickly lost effectiveness after a few months. Then it would only make me feel weird or confused but not help sleeping or have its initial calming effects. | F | 28 | 3 months 25mg 1X day | 1/19/2018 | 3 | sleep disorder | most concerned with the day after grogginess | F | 26 | 5 years 100 mg 1X day | 8/2/2011 | 3 | Depression with psychotic features | Night sweats, hot flashes, sweating | F | 32 | 5 years 200mg 1X day | 8/13/2011 | 3 | Cyclothamic Depression & Schizotype | Restless Leg Sydrome (Horrible) - Hunger ALL the time (Weight Gain) - Constipation (Had to use laxatives) - Cannot find words that fit on end of sentences - Tired ALL the time - Sleep until 4pm sometimes - Made me addicted to smoking (Because it makes you crave everything going) | This drug was ok at the start. The lower dose was very sedating and I liked it. But now I take it and I can't relax anymore because it gives me RLS kinda like foot cramps and jiggly feet. Watching a film or reading a book is pointless as my feet just anger me. Sometimes punch my feet it is THAT bad! Wake up with feet in air! Eat so many sugary foods. Start of year I was 9 and a half stone, now I am 11 and a half!!!!! Constipation makes me cry. I sleep until tea time 4pm (as I don't work due to illness). I want to come off this drug, but if I don't take it I can't sleep! It's ruining my life! | F | 26 | 4 months 200MG 1X day | 11/28/2011 | 3 | Bi-polar and Borderline | Sleepy,"med munchies",parinioa,anxiety | Worked great in the begining then made me get paroniod,fearfull,twitchy so now im starting something knew hopefully it will help. The 1st 2 yrs made a BIG difference in me and was great | F | 34 | 3 years 600 1X day | 2/10/2012 | 3 | bi polar disorder | bad short term memory problems, increase of depression, feeling worthless, weight fluctuation, tardive dyskinesia, increased heart rate when standing up in the morning, running out of breath too quickly. | I am 23 years old and still on this medication. I don't know how to talk to my doctor to get it switched to a different anti-psychotic. I have heard that all medicine in this class of drugs have virtually the same side effects. | F | 23 | 2 years 150 XR 1X day | 9/12/2010 | 3 | Mood Instability/Insomnia | Extreme sleepiness, some weight gain, intense desire to eat after taking the medicine. | I've been taking Seroquel for about 4 years now and while it helps me sleep (knocks me out for a good 12 hours) and provides mood stability, DO NOT TAKE THIS UNLESS IT'S A LAST RESORT! You WILL become completely dependent on it. For example I ran out for 1 day and was crying, shaking, nauseous, and a complete wreck. I do not think I could quit taking it ever. This medicine does what it's supposed to do but unless you are willing to take it for the rest of your life, don't start it. Also it will give you the "Seroquel munchies"....I have fallen asleep eating food! | F | 20 | 4 years 300 MG 1X day | 12/29/2010 | 3 | psychosis (manic depression) | morning hangover, akithisia, chewing-on-tin-foil feeling for early part of the day, concentration probs, sometimes an increase to my appetite, physical heaviness and drag | F | 40 | 18 months 350mg 1X day | 1/13/2011 | 3 | Mood stabalizer | It made me very very very sleepy. That was about it I just couldn't really function properly because I just wanted to sleep, also I remember after I took it if I pushed through the sleepiness and stayed up it was like I was high or dreaming. I didn't feel like I was in reality at all | I got off of it as an everyday drug. Now I take it on an as needed basis when I have anxiety or if I can't sleep. | F | 18 | 1 months 1X day | 1/9/2011 | 3 | Self-destructive behaviors/insomnia | Depression improved dramatically over time, insomnia disappeared, no major side effects but now after so many years somewhat concerned about long term dangers of Seroquel 300mg/Effexor XR 150mg. I plan to taper meds as soon as I move out on my own. I know still living at home under the tremendous stress/anxiety I am under, it is not a good time yet to get off meds which help at the moment cope better with my living situation. My father/brother alcoholic and my my Depressed/Borderline Blind elderly mother who depends on me for everything. Whatever you decide please consult with your doctor first. God bless us all and free us once and for all from Mental Illness. Awi :) | F | 43 | 6 years 300mg 1X day | 3/20/2011 | 3 | Borderline Personality Disorder | MAJOR WEIGHT GAIN. Heart palpitations, dry mouth, slurred speach, hang-over feeling, loss of memory and concentration, sedated, extreme hunger. | This drug worked wonders for my mood swings and insomnia. However I gained 60 pounds in 1 year! After taking 100 mg/per day for a year and a half, I was forced to stop taking it because I gained way too much weight in such a short amount of time. Now, 2 years later, I was just diagnosed with diabetes. and the doc. said its becuase of the Seroquel. I have not been able to lose the weight with dieting and excersize. i am only 23 and am now stuck with a major self esteem issue because i look like a fat cow. seroquel was great for what i needed it for - but PLEASE stop taking it if youre on it (with the help of a doctor, of course!). ist not worth the long term effects of your health.

After stopping Seroquel, symptoms improved without reoccurrence. | It did improve my depression and anxiety. From what I have researched, my side effects were very rare. | F | 33 | 1 years 200 1X day | 4/21/2011 | 3 | sleep aid for bipolar disorder | initially very drowsy and "drunk" feeling. would have to go to bed immediately upon taking it. If I take the dose a few hours late, I get nauseous. If I miss a dose, I toss and turn in my sleep and may get hyper. The next day, I feel awful: depressed, irritable, sometimes suicidal thoughts, revved up energy | Overall, Seroquel has worked well. Initially, it was a wonder drug for quieting my racing thoughts and improving my concentration. It also helped with mild paranoia. I have been lucky to not have any weight gain. | F | 31 | 4 years 50mg 1X day | 4/26/2011 | 3 | Psychotic disorder | Always tired,always hungry which is really good cause I'm a 00 in jeans so I'm happy crave tons of sweets dry mouth hopefully that's it!! | F | 25 | 2 days 50mg 1X day | 5/28/2010 | 3 | Insomnia / depression | Rapid weight gain, feeling sleepy all day long, | It sure helps me a lot for insomnia, but I'm still waiting for effect on depression... | F | 28 | 2 months 25 mg 4X day | 5/31/2010 |
