This medication can decrease hallucinations and improve your concentration. It helps you to think more clearly and positively about yourself, feel less nervous, and take a more active part in everyday life. It may also improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level. Quetiapine can help prevent severe mood swings or decrease how often mood swings occur.   FDA Approval Date: 2005-10-04 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Misdiagnosed bipolar NEAR DEATH All these stupid fuking so called 'doctors' who prescribe this shit should give it to their spouses and try it themselves. That would certainly put a fast HALT to the bullshit that comes along with these 'human and chemical experiments.' I am beginning to believe the doctor's have stock in the pharmacy companies. I was misdiagnosed with bipolar when I had just plain depression from 2 very close deaths. Fuk the doctors and their bullshit. This almost killed me. 'Do you hear voices?' that out of control Physician assistant needs a good quick kick in the ass along with the doctors.Proper diagnosis for plain and clear case of death related depression and wrecked nerves are just not out there. Outlaw the doctors from owning stock in these companies and people would be treated right. FOR ALL THE 20-23 yr olds...GROW UP you like to feel stoned! M 54 2 days

 1  Extreme anxiety and anger issues extreme grogginess and feeling like a zombie I am a senior male who has severe sleep apnea since 1991 and use CPAP every night. However, I have extreme daytime sleepiness. My doctor wanted me to take Seroquel to help with my extreme anxiety, OCD and anger issues. I only took the medication for two nights but I felt like a zombie. The dosage was only 25mg. NO ONE who has sleep apnea should take this drug since it will make you so spaced out you are unable to function. M 75 2 days
25mg 1X day

 5  bi-polar/anxiety/trouble sleeping The only side effects I have exerienced so far is being tired in the morning, and a little out of it. I have also experienced some trouble concentrating, but I know that is just from my body getting used to this new medicine. I have been taking Wellbutrin and Trazadone for years (although I came off of trazadone while I was pregnant). After the birth of my daughter, 3 months ago, I started experiencing deep depression. I was crying all the time, for no reason. My doctor put me on seroquel recently. I have been tired in the mornings (taking 100mg tablet at night), but my mind is so much calmer. I do not feel anxious at all, the manic phase of my bi-polar has calmed down (I have rapid bi-polar cycles). Also, as many others on this site, I am sleeping much better (and NOT having nightmares). I have tried over 20 different medications over the years, and this one seems to be working very well, even though it's only been a short time. My advice to anyone nervous about starting this medicine - HAVE A GOOD MIND SET! It is extremely important to go into something new like this with a mind set that you are going to be fine, and that this medicine will work for you. Try not to concentrate on the bad things F 34 3 days

 5  bipolar II - depression, psychosis extreme sleepiness Only been on it a short time, but after a year of swings and roundabouts on Effexor XR and valproate, this has been a miracle drug for me. It has banished the white noise from my head, and allowed me to smile, talk, walk properly. I have no psychosis any more and use the sleepiness to get a good night's sleep. However it does seem to wear off by late in the day. F 33 3 days

I have read all the comments here and I am bit concerned about not being able to get off of it later, weight gain caused by sweet craving and increased apetite, hair loss and liver problems.

 3  depression/OCD/insomnia/anxiety extreme tiredness, depersonalization, feeling really not like myself, extreme hunger, feelings of being detached from some of my previous worries, not caring or being as empathetic helped me sleep, but way too much. kind of just dulls my perceptions and ability to think so much that i can just sleep and sit somewhere and not really care about anything at all. which is sometimes a nice thing if you are a really anxious worried person...helps for sleep, and maybe helped with the depression a a little bit for some weird reason, which i didn't expect M 18 3 days

 3  Mood stabilizing I am taking 25mg at night and 25mg inthe morning. I feel as if i have the flu or something I don't want to eat at all so i have to force myself to eat a couple times a day. Then I feel as if I havn't sleped in days although i sleep usually 12 or more hours a night. I'm just atarting out so if any one can tell me if it is worth it to keep on with this drug please tell me. F 24 3 days

 3  panic disorder and anxiety none so far I dont expect to take that drug for long since it is only something I take to calm my anxiety until I start getting an effect from the antidepressant. I have to say I was prescribed 25 mg 2 times a day. 12,5 mg is enough to put me to sleep for 10 hours and if I try taking 12.5 mg during the day I can not stay awake without many coffees so I just dont understand how somebody could take 100mg of this stuff and not be in a coma! I am 125 pounds so I am not that small... Well, since the list of side effects from this drug is pretty scary I will only use it until I am stabilised on my AD and in my life which should take less than a month. F 28 3 days
