| 4 | bipolar type II | very little | i think these reviews are untrue in some regards i would not be surprised if the pharmaceutical companies write half of these evaluations | M | 18 | | 8/22/2005 | 1 | Cymbalta | Muscle twitching throughout the night and during the day. This greatly effected my sleep and made me very nervous. | F | 25 | 3 days | 8/18/2005 | 3 | Bipolar II | Sleepiness, but I take it to help me sleep, so that's fine. A little bit of restless leg feeling if I try to stay awake, but nothing serious. The biggest problem is it gives me the munchies, so I've gained quite a bit of weight--about 20 pounds in a year and a half. | F | 42 | 1.5 years | 8/12/2005 | 5 | sleep | You must be able to have the time for at least 7 hours of good solid sleep. | 25 mg. is best for me at 5'6 | F | 47 | 2 months | 8/9/2005 | 1 | Bi polar | Weight Gain...extreme zombiness ...anger..dry mouth... psychotic actions that i never had before | I would not take this medicine again if my life depended on it, it made me very agitated and angry and i literally would snap and not remember anything that i said or done, i havent seen anyone who has had this kinda side effect but really would like to talk to someone who has...i went to jail because the medicine made me attack someone and i didnt even remember it!!!! | F | 30 | 3 weeks | 8/2/2005 | 5 | Bipolar 1 w/ pychosis | A slight hangover in the morning and some weight gain. | it helps in alot of ways. with my depression and with my hatefull actions. makes me mellow! | M | 50 | 4 months | 8/1/2005 | 3 | schizo-effective | I was taking mega doses (up to 2 grams a day) Severe dizziness, hypotension, some panicky feelings from side effects. restless legs. Very large amount of hair loss. Feel frozen, just a part of a machine. | It helped me controll the anger that comes from being helpless against hallucinations;voices telling me bad things, i.e. | F | 55 | 4 days | 7/30/2005 | 4 | bi-polar I | I have experienced no adverse side effects. | Seroquel saved my marraige, job and life. I have been in my manic state for several months, I feel my cycle of depression beginning but have yet to suffer. I am hopeful seroquel will not only help greatly with being manic but also ward off depression. I feel more focused and alive than I have in years. | F | 35 | 5 days | 7/25/2005 | 4 | Anxiety; Panic Attacks; Depression | drowsiness a couple of hours after injestion. | 25 mg for 1 week so far....helps a lot with sleep and I awaken without that sluggish feeling + I don't oversleep. | F | 42 | 1 weeks | 7/21/2005 | 5 | Schizo Affect | Sometimes when the medicine is kicking in and I try to stay awake (at the computer TV etc...) I experience hallucinations and lathargy. I feel punch drunk etc... I take 1000mg (Heavy Duty Dose) at bedtime or thereabouts. I do this to avoid the sleepiness and knee tremors if taken during my daytime hours. For the most part I wake up sleepy sometimes I feel blunted in my awareness and emotions. Other than that this med has been much better than Zyprexa, Risperdol and definatley better than Navaine (Spelling?). I have also experienced weight gain on Seroquel. | I have at times due to the responsibilities of my life had to take lesser doses to be able to wake up earlier. I do not advocate this as my blood level has slipped too low on different ocassions and I started to experience full blown symptoms of Schizo. I take Nuerontin and Attivan as well. My doc is trying to ween me off those currently. | M | 35 | 6 years | 7/20/2005 | 3 | insomnia, anxiety | sleepyness, also made my head feel a little weird before falling asleep | I only took a tiny dose to aid sleeping, but felt drowsy almost the entire following day. | F | 21 | 1 months | 7/17/2005 | 1 | Insomnia | Severe disorientation, muddled thinking, extreme difficulty waking up, distrubing dreams. | This medication made me feel like I was falling down a well that never ended. The pill made me sleep, but the sleep was not at all restful. I compare it to the feeling of being on an airplane for a very long time. When the plane finally lands and you get off, you don't know where you are or what day it is. It's very disorienting. I had frigtening dreams. I felt like I was too heavy to move from my bed. The first time I took it, I took one pill, the next time, half a pill, finally, one quarter of a pill. It was always awful. My insomnia is terrible, but honestly, I would rather not sleep than take this medicine and feel the way it made me feel. | F | 33 | 3 times | 7/17/2005 | 1 | ptsd,depression,insomnia,ed,anxiety | Ive experianced extream weight gain, rashes, | I take 50mg during the day to keep me calm. And 75mg at night to help me sleep. | F | 24 | 3 days | 7/16/2005 | 5 | bipolar | about five pounds weight gain in two weeks and a little sleepy at first, but it went away. The doctor says that the weight gain may be due to the fact that I feel so much better. Honestly, the weight gain stinks, but I feel so much better. My hubby says the weight gain is well worth the change in my attitude and mood. | the crazy thinking/racing thoughts have just almost stopped and i feel almost normal after just being on the meds for two weeks. I was on Cymbyax for three weeks and did not feel as good as I do after being ont he Seroquel for just two weeks. I take 50mg at night and 25mg in the morning. I also take 500mg Depakote at night, .05mg of Synthroid in the morning | F | 38 | 2 weeks | 7/5/2005 | 1 | Schizophrenia | Loss of Motor Coordination. Strange facial twitches (the symptoms are very much like Tardive dyskinesia) A lot of cognitive problems with concentration and problem-solving. | All off these problems were brought upon by a overdose of the drug. I absorbed about 3000 mg with alcohol one night and have not been right since. Constant pain and suffering that is only elieved by a pathetic sence these symtoms will go away. Lost my job and cannot leave the house. Cannot enjoy anything I used to do. My family doesn't treat me the same and are constantly irrtating me with humiliating imitations. This is Hell. | M | 26 | | 6/27/2005 | 3 | Insomnia | Very tired all day. Sometimes i couldn't fall asleep and experienced strange side effects like rapid heart rate, tremors all over my body - felt like anxiety attack. Sore bones and muscles. Ringing in the ears so loud I couldn't fall asleep. Jerking of the body. High cholesterol levels, however I don't know if this is caused by the drug. | I only took 25 mg to knock me out. Decided to quit taking the drug because the effects I was having in the middle of the night when I didn't fall asleep were scaring me. | F | 25 | 1 years | 6/26/2005 | 5 | schizo-affective disorder | dry mouth. morning sleepiness. | I love this drug. I take 75mg of seroquel with risperdal, gabapentin and effexor. It has given me sleep and serenity. It has been years since I was able to go to bed and feel assured that I would fall asleep and stay asleep. I am calm during the day and social skills have improved. Less anxiety around people. Fewer hallucinations. | F | 47 | 90 days | 6/23/2005 | 2 | mood disorder | I had what first started as occasional and then became daily occurances of hypotension. My BP would drop from 120/80 to less than 80/60 in a heartbeat. It would take me 3 to 4 hours for my body and the blood pressure to recover. My Dr. has taken me off of it. Not very good for the | 200 mg 2 X daily, combined with 2 other seizure meds, UGH! I was very zombie like, although I certainly had an even mood. We were never quite sure this is what I needed. I feel better off of this. | F | 43 | 9 months | 6/22/2005 | 5 | Sleep problems, mood swings | At first, experienced agitation and very zombie-like throughout the day. Was also hard to wake up for work. Now I don't really get any side effects at all. | I LOVE this medication, it is the best Ive ever taken. My moods have stabilized and I am very positive and upbeat all day long. I sleep very very well and have hardly any side effects. all side effects went away after taking it for a week or so. I recommend it! | M | 26 | 2 weeks | 6/14/2005 | 3 | Sleep | Drowsiness, emotionless, not caring about anything, anger/agitation. | At first I started at 100 mg at night, but couldnt wake up in the morning for work. Then went to 50mg, still had trouble waking up. Now am taking 25 mg, and am ok with getting up, however, I am very stolid and emotionless throughout the day. I don't care about much and at night before I take my dose, I feel really pissed off...? The anger/agitation I feel is annoying, but I hope that it will wear off, as I have only been taking it a week or so. | M | 26 | 1 weeks | 6/8/2005 |
