BP2-GAD-ADHD-Primary insomnia -Boarderline Personality. Took a lot of being a lab rat. From 4 meds including geodon which almost killed me. Celexa,Adderall,Xanax,Ambiem. Don't ask me how all that works together but I was doing art, walking and Happy. Never abused any of them, sadly I have witnessed a few deaths on these controlled very addictive meds. What is so sad is that's all these prescribers consider. I understand that however used correctly I was alive. | Now after going off all of it because no doc. Fail by Doctors to look at my history. Long story I've been on everything but Seroquel, suggested replacing Seroquel for sleep no ambien. Trial 10 MG a night I cut these nasty pills in half, 3 weeks into it as I figured I woke up after 20 hours of sleep felt like I was in a coma. Sore joints, legs hurt to walk, severe abdominal problems, black hard stools, when I can because my stomach is so painful I feel horrible. Days go by different things I notice on just that small amount. Now I am certain the peptic ulcer I had @ in. My 20s, is back and perferated, Bleeding.

I am angry, yelling at objects such as a bed sheet. I rethink my purpose in life 100xs a day. Im a zombie | I was on lamotragine for about two weeks had bad side effects but i was functional...i felt rested... They switched me to seroquel because of the side effects and bumped me from 50mg to 300mg in 4 days... I havent felt like I've slept in almost a month.my daily routine is hindered because i am so lethargic..

Also was completely dehydrated when I got up to let the dog out during the night. | Let my dog out during the night and was unable to walk outside to get her due to fear of falling. Finally my neighbor stopped and helped. As I was thirsty went to get a drink of water, later that night found myself on the floor having knocked over a lamp and barking my shins. DON'T TAKE THIS if you live ALONE! | F | 61 | 1 days 150 1X day | 4/4/2015 | 1 | Anxiety and insomnia, postpartum | Horrible. I had absolutely no feelings at all. I felt stoned all day and it was very hard to function. I was confused and didn't recognize my own life. I have a 3 months old baby and a 3 year old to care for, so I was down right scared. My doctor told me to keep taking it despite my concerns. The last straw was when I took it too early in the evening (8:00) and was nursing my baby to sleep, and I basically hallucinated. I didn't recognize my own house. I hated this stuff. I took it for a week and it was the worst week of my life. | I have been off of it for two days and slept on my own fine. | F | 36 | 1 weeks 25 mgs 1X day | 12/29/2014 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | Sleep Aid | Cardiomypathy-weakening of heart muscle, Cataracts, Extreme Sleepiness, Weight Gain | Please do not take this drug. Or at least do some research on it-please see all lawsuits filed- and follow your health very closely while on it. I had no idea of the side effects was prescribed it for years for sleeplessness before I finally had to stop because of heart problems it had caused. Seroqel also caused cataracts for me which I had in both eyes while taking this drug-had to have cararact surgery to correct it. It also caused a weakening of my heart called cardiomyopathy. My heart functioning went down to 20% on this drug and my pulse ran around 102 beats per minute while on this drug. I could have died if not for a caring doctor who noticed my ekg was way out of wack and asked me why was I taking seroquel???? My heart doctor was going to put me on a pacemaker, but after going off seroquel and taking my heart meds, my heart is gradually getting back to normal with heart functiong now at 40% and pulse rate down in the normal range of around 60 beats per minute. Use with extreme caution or better yet not at all!!!! | F | 55 | 5 years | 8/19/2009 | 1 | Insomnia, PTSD, DID | Horrific nightmares, extreme panic, flashbacks increased in severity and length, wake up drenched in sweat, body would suddenly jerk, zombie feeling, no sex drive, intense weight gain then lost appetite completely, severe depression, tingling and numbness | These drug terrifies me now. I stopped taking it a week ago and my mind is clearer already. My doctor said it would help me sleep and instead I ended up in a world where I didn't know what was real or not. Then started drinking heavily to deal with the nightmares and anxiety, would rather pass out then be in any state to dream. Now I am not taking anything except Lexapro, no over the counter, no alcohol. I was in hell when I was on that drug and wanted to die. Learning how to sleep in a more natural way. Lacked desire to do anything. Would have these hideous experiences while only taking 50mg. I am so glad I found this website because it let me know that I am not alone in my reactions, I am not losing my mind. After reading this website, I took one 50gm dose and nothing else and that night, horrific panic attack, hallucinations both visual and aural, intense fear when I finally feel asleep a nightmare in which I thought I wold scream forever and woke drenched in sweat. | F | 49 | 9 months | 8/18/2009 | 1 | started out for sleep | weight gain, galbladder problems, joint problems | I started taking it right after it was released in March of 2003. Was having trouble sleeping, somehow I ended up taking 600mg at night. I have been weaning off for over 2 months now. I was hoping after I got down to 50mg that I could stop completely. But now I am taking 12.50mg. It's like the Beast has ahold of me, and just doesn't want to let go. I hope that in 2 weeks I can be free of it. I don't recommend anyone getting started on this drug. I am Bipolar1 with a very rapid cycling. So far, so good with this. I am really suffering with insomnia. | F | 53 | 6.5 years | 8/21/2009 | 1 | axiety | headaches, nausea, sleeping problems, menstral changes, bladder irrability, muscle spasams, lost of strength and skin rash and skin peeing. | I actually experinced the most after being off of it for several months not really when i got on it besides nausea. I never gained wait like many others but have the sweet cravings. Iv been checked and they cannot find any other medical cause for my problems. | F | 20 | 10 years | 8/14/2009 | 1 | Depression, anxiety | Sleeplessness and EXTREME anxiety | I was put on Seroquel after a death in my family. I had been on Paxil for years and I absolutely loved that drug, but it started to give me anxiety attacks and I weened off. I tried a whole mess of medications afterwards, but Seroquel is the one that caused me the most dissatisfaction. I was up all night for days.. my heart was racing and my anxiety was 10x what it usually is. It is amazing for me to read that so many people got sleepy with this medication because it has the opposite effect on me. I guess it is true that brain chemistry and the drugs it responds varies drastically. | F | 14 days | 9/12/2009 | 1 | Bipolar Disorder (Manic) | This medication made me feel like I was black out binge drinking every night and I'd just pass out an hour after taking it. I'd wake up completely confused. Can't remember anything. Thank you seroquel for turning me elderly well before my age. Fucked up my speech, have no memory,no thought process, and really slow at responding in conversations. Hair loss and slight weight gain. Addictive. DO NOT TAKE UNLESS YOU WANT AN IQ OF 3!!! | F | 20 | 3 years | 9/12/2009 | 1 | bi-polar..anxiety.sleeping, manic | Gained ALOT of wieght I was 114 now 148lbs.made it very hard to WAKE UP in MORNING..FEELING OUT OF IT TILL I HAVE HAD AT LEAST2 CUPS OF COFFEE.At night made me eat in my sleep | I am now going to try to stop taking Seroquel...cold turkey ! Hope nothing happens ..please tell me if anyone has had any side effects from when they stopped taking it !!!!! I have been on it for 3 years at 300mgs nightly. | F | 31 | 3 years | 9/8/2009 | 1 | manic depression PTSD | cannot remember dreams too drowsy to fuction in everyday life | I promise to make this as short as possible and this will be the first time telling this story completely!!! In the year of 1999 I felt my world was falling apart there were things going on in my life that just shouldnt have been happening. (needless to say it wasnt drugs...not on my part any way.) I had two wonderful children both girls and was doing my best to support them and all the while behind my back my husband (now ex) was doing crack and the money situation was tight. I was told things were getting paid when they werent. So forth and so on... Basically I ended up having what was medically known as a nervous breakdown when I cut my arms with a razor blade from my wrist to my wrist to my elbows... I do not know where the razor came from... I do not know why I did it... I dont remember doing it at all... I only remember having a feeling of "waking up" and wondering where my children were and wondering where all the blood came from and why everyone was cut up??? I had no clue that I had done it myself!!! Do you have any idea how scary that was for me. And just to make this clear it has never happened again... Anyway I was taken to the hospital but I was not locked up. (BY THE GRACE OF GOD) I cant think of no other reason why I wasnt. The E.R. DR. Prescibed me Zoloft and told me it was mandatory to see and Psychologist or Psychiatrist within 10 days. So I started seeing a local clinic in my hometown... I went to the appointment and tried t | F | 35 | 3 years | 9/15/2009 | 1 | recurrent depression | took 50 mg before going to sleep, slept for about 30 hours, no kidding, just went out of bed for going to the toilet, but was so tired, I just had to go to bed and sleep... | F | 33 | 2 days | 9/30/2009 | 1 | bi-polar/ aniexty.insomnia | Hard to wake up in morning, gained about 45lbs, spaced out ETC | My doc put me on this took 600mg nightly before bedtime, took for about 3 1/2 years um stopped on my own he said no not good thing to stop by yourself....he said I would have bad side effects blah blah blah I stopped myself took ocntrol yes I did have side effects / withdrawls from not takeing it HOWEVER I am now back down to a normal wieght lost all the weight I gained and sleep just fine also. I am not saying for everyone it will be this easy but PLEASE DONT GET ME WRONG IT TOOK A GOOD MONTH FOR ME TO BE BACK TO "NORMAL , MYSELF " It took awhile for it to get out of my system and WOW what a diff/I feel great and look great I control my mood swings ...HECK MAYBE HE THOUGHT I WAS SOMETHING I WASNT ...
