| 5 | INSOMNIA | ALITTLE FOGGY IN THE AM BUT NOT TO BAD WORE OFF WITH BREAKFAST AND A CUP OF COFFEE. | I ONLY TOOK 12.5 MG AND THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS!!! I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO SLEEP FROM AMBIEN, LUNESTA, XANAX, LIBRIUM AND NOTHING EVER KEPT ME ASLEEP!!! THIS DRUG MAY NOT BE FOR EVERYONE BUT IT WAS THE RIGHT MEDICATION FOR ME!!! MEDICATION WORKS DIFFERENTLY FOR EVERYBODY ...IT MAY BE WHATS RIGHT FOR YOU!!! | F | 33 | 3 months | 2/8/2008 | 5 | Insomia | 100 mg at bedtime. The first week drowsy the first few hours of the morning. | Now, after 3 months...I sleep soundly 7-8 hours a night, wake up with an abundance of energy and no weight gain...actually, a weight loss due to increased cardio daily. | F | 45 | 3 months | 11/6/2007 | 5 | Bipolar | i speed excessively and want to eat all the time. | Seroquel isn't so bad, i sleep like a baby, and i don't think violent thoughts toward people i don't know. If you can master being hungry all the time, then this drug is amazing. Within the first two months of talking seroquel and zyprexa i put on 30 pounds. After struggling to get into my pants, i decided i'd just have to deal with being a little hungry all day long, its a small sacrifice for its benefits. | M | 21 | 3 months | 6/26/2007 | 5 | bipolar with psychosis, insomnia | weight gain | I love this med. I hate the weight gain, but it has helped with depression, mania, psychosis, insomnia. My tics are gone, but they are transient so hard to say. I just wish I could do something about the weight (25 lbs in 3 months). | F | 27 | 3 months | 6/1/2008 | 5 | Bipolar/Insomnia/Anxiety | angry a bit-headache | I personally LOVE seroquel, it makes me sleep(which i never can) during the day it makes me feel great, im all relaxed and giggly, I kinda feel like I did drugs on it.It dont make me hungry or anything it just makes me feel like im floating | F | 28 | 3 months | 7/11/2008 | 5 | insomnia stress high blood pressure | Rapid heart beat(only first dose), alittle nausea(first week), daytime tiredness. Does lower blood pressure(prescribe for that too). | Death in the family, Teenager leaving home, over-worked, overstressed, and really poor diet! Also, four times the normal coffee consumption. I used to say, | M | 45 | 3 months | 10/22/2004 | 5 | IBS caused Anxiety & Insomnia | Still taking seroquel @ 50 mg at nighttime. Sleep very well, Anxiety eased but restless leg a problem at nightime. Taking Meripex to ease the restless leg. | Could not tolerate other Anti-Anxiety drugs. Seroquel used as an off-Label use for Anxiety & Insomnia helped a great deal. | M | 51 | 3 months | 12/1/2004 | 5 | psychosis | very sleepy at first, but this wares off find its best to take equal amounts morning and night i take 200 night and 200 morning | I am very pleased with this drug. no psychotic symptoms and it doesnt give that wierd zombie feeling like other anti psychotic ive tried. Very important to take equal amounts morn and night i tried taking more at niht and less in morning but made the drowsyness LOADS worse but this is completely gone now. | F | 24 | 3 months | 10/7/2006 | 5 | Bipolar -Mixed | I was suddenly staying in bed 10 hours and when I woke up I ate everything in sight. But I have a calm inner space . Anxiety is gone and feel being gentle with the world | The seroqul's effect was quick | F | 40 | 3 months | 1/17/2007 | 5 | Bipolar, Anxiety, Insomnia | Dry Mouth, Rebound effect if I do not take at least a small dose the next day. | I took Zyprexa for many years, and I cannot say it helped all that much, but if I missed my bedtime dose for any reason , I could not sleep. I stopped the Zyrexa over two years ago and still had really bad insomnia. Seroquel has taken care of that, and I actually have dreams at night again - good dreams, not the nightmares I get from the benzos or Lunesta ! | M | 49 | 3 months | 2/17/2006 | 5 | severe depression, anxiety disorder | i just started to gain a lot of weight, no matter what diet i did, i coulndīt lose my weight. | it really makes you sleep, and get rid of anxiety | F | 16 | 3 months | 2/4/2006 | 5 | bipolar II | Sleep 10 hours a day; hard to wake up; a little spacey; gaining a few pounds | I love this drug! It really works for my bipolarity. Everything has calmed down. I used to take Ambien and Lunesta for sleep, but now I don't need to. I take 100mg every other day, and 50mg every other day. This way I'm not so spaced out in the morning (well, afternoon!). I'm gaining some weight, but I didn't know that this drug makes you hungry until I did some research. So, I'm going to just watch my diet and get to the gym. | F | 36 | 3 months | 12/17/2006 | 5 | Sleep Disorder | Loss of Appetite. Loss of sex drive. | I am overall happy with Seoquel. My sleep has improved. Before Seroquel I had nightime Myoclonus that would wake me up, sleep walking, night time eating, sleep paralysis and I did not dream. I have been on several different types of Atipical Antipsychotice and sleep medicine. I found this to be the best. I no longer have Myoclonus, Sleep walking, night eating or sleep paralysis. And now I actually dream...and love it...I never knew how awsome it was to wake up in the morning and remember in vivid detail, what I dreamt during the night... THANK GOD and Thank You Seoquel! | F | 31 | 3 months 100 MG 1X day | 11/21/2010 | 5 | Psychotic, Bipolar, OCD, Borderline | Constipation, increased appetite, SEVERE drowsiness | I love this medication, I feel like its the only thing that calms my brain from psychosis and panic attacks. It makes me chill and sedated, I love it. Best drug I've tried so far and seriously the most helpful. I was extremely tired at first so I decreased my dosage and it got better. I tried to go up to 300mg but couldn't lift my head out of bed, gradually decreased to 50mg where I still feel the sedation needed but its not overwhelming as it is at a higher dose. | F | 28 | 3 months 50 1X day | 10/17/2011 | 4 | PTSD, Major Depression/insomnia | F | 44 | 3 months 25mg 1X day | 4/10/2012 Patient History | 4 | Night time anxiety & hallucinations | So far there has been tiredness on waking, and sleepiness during the day. My hallucinations are gone at night (which is great) but I still actively dream, and wake feeling very tired and stiff. I have dry mouth and some constipation as well. | F | 43 | 3 months 100mg 1X day | 1/10/2012 | 4 | Bipolar1, Anxiety, Sleep Disorder | Constipation, short term memory loss - Seroquil??? Not sure | I started taking the fast acting seroquel. Gained weight quickly. After being on Abilify for two years gaining 60lbs with high cholesterol, my doctor switched it to fast acting formula, I experienced severe drowsiness immediately. Thats fine for me, but I was gaining wait and waking up groggy. So she switched it to the XR formula. I feel better than ever, actually loosing weight and not groggy in the am. Still wondering about slight confusion and very short term memory loss??? | F | 39 | 3 months 50MG XR 1X day | 12/14/2011 | 4 | bipolar II, ocd, dysthymia | dizziness the next day even if you take it at night (only at first though), extreme photosensitivity (you end up wearing sunglasses even on cloudy days - doesn't go away) | I am taking 600 mg of trileptal, 100 mg of welbutrin, 50 mg of seroquel before bed, and 25 mg of seroquel as needed. this regimen actually really helped me become a normal person for the first time. i have never been this happy, focused, and confident, ever. this saved my life. i was also experiencing physical hallucinations (sharp pains that bore no physiological evidence or cause) which have now stopped since beginning this regimen. that part is especially great!! **i changed from xanex to seroquel for anxiety and sleep and it has been 100% better - no irritability, no hangovers, no headaches! | F | 20 | 3 months | 10/15/2006 | 4 | somnolence. hard to move around. unmotivated. | M | 47 | 3 months | 4/11/2006 | 4 | Bi-Polar | Vey sleepy in the morning. Hard to get up no matter how long I sleep. Dry mouth and overall muscle fatigue especially when I wake up in the morning. Also, weight gain. I have gain 15 pounds in 3 months. | My insomia has gone away!! I can think clearer. My question to others is whether anyone is also taking depakote? Depakote in the pass caused tiredness and fatigue in the afternoon. It also caused weight gain. Now that I am on both Seroquel and Depakote, my weight gain seems to be faster. No fun... | F | 44 | 3 months | 2/20/2007 |
