| 3 | bipolar | well i had the severe dizz when i would stand up in the beginning i currently take 400 mg all though my doc wants me to take 600-no way i read the side effects and weight gain does not appeal to me especially after i lost 150 from coming off of depakote.plus 400 is plently strong to it knocks my budda out which is good for my mind but what i had in the beginng when he increased my dose to over 200 was the parkinson symptons which he said would go away-i would trip over my feet lord knows i would forgot words stumble over words and i am in sales thats just not cool. but what really bothers me now is i have noticed that when i take it at night sometimes i feel like i cant move at all i mean iam awake and tired eyes semi closed and my body wont let me move and my legs jerk to at night and sometimes my body aches to i talked to my doc he said he had never heard of this the not being able to move and such is there anyone else outthere that has felt that senesation? i also get the dry mouth bad and stuffy nose within about 45 mintues of taking it. and i get real crabby if i cant get to sleep like i am a possessed woman i have to sleep its like i have to plan my sex life around the this pill otherwise i cant get any cause my butt is knocked out. at first i had the morning hang overs here again i just make sure i get over 8 hours sleep if i dont get over 8 hours i wake up severly tired and drugged and my arms and legs feel very weak | it has helped me sleep like reallly good for the first time since i was told i had bp plus since being on this drug with zonegran and wellburtin.o if anyone outthere has had or felt like i have i with my symptons-(cant spell right now its late and i havent taken my serqouel) please feel free to email me or if you if have any other questions. | F | 25 | 3 years | 2/18/2005 | 3 | antipsychotic and antianxiety | Tired. | Good for insomnia. | M | 34 | 2 years | 2/17/2005 | 1 | Bi Polar/Insomnia | Terrible drug, experienced extremly drugged feeling at 25mg dose, slept but awoke feeling hung over the entire day. Next day cut dose in half and had extreme anxiety, tingling in my entire body, hypotension, feeling of confusion, restlessness | I thought this was an awful drug for me. I'd say if you are going to take this to try a very small dose at first to see if it effects you the way it did me. Didn't help me at all. | F | 33 | 2 days | 2/16/2005 | 2 | psychotic / depression anxiety | light headedness, dizziness weak legs on rising or going up or down stairs. Rapid pulse (125bpm). I'm supposed to be taking 600mg. of this medication (and 20mg of Lexapro). Currently taking 400mg. I am almost unbareably nervous and anxious. I don't know how long I can stand to be like this because I feel as though my whole body is trembling. I will take the additional 200mg of Seroquel to see if it helps. I feel as though I want to jump out of my skin. I cannot cope this way. Have started taking more Klonopin to kill some of the anxiety but it comes back after 3 hours. I am very frightened. Still have panic attacks after 400mg. Hope the addition of the other 200mg. Still works, but I may be couch bound. | I am scared about the side effects from this drug; I get so many spots in front of my eyes that I feel as though I am going to black out. I don't have a choice about taking this drug as I feel so out of control. | F | 52 | 2 years | 2/12/2005 | 2 | | 2/10/2005 | 5 | severe bipolar | sleepiness, tiredness, disorientation and difficulty driving at night. | I take 900 mg at bedtime and I have no cmplaints. It has helped with my insomnia and I am no longer having hallucinations. | M | 30 | 7 months | 2/6/2005 | 3 | | 2/3/2005 | 3 | Insomnia | Made me tired, but decreased the effectiveness of my other meds. | F | 30 | 6 weeks | 2/2/2005 | 3 | | 2/1/2005 | 5 | psychosis | extreme sleepiness, mild headaches | F | 16 | 8 months | 1/31/2005 | 5 | F | 26 | 6 weeks | 1/20/2005 | 1 | Hallucinations | drowsiness, dizziness, twitching, appetite inrcrease, depression... | being lethargic is the worst side affect. i can not wake up in the morning and i feel comatose throughout the entire day. im only on 50mgs, though i have been on 125mgs for over a month last year and the affects never got better. it makes you lose your will to live. awful medication. | F | 17 | 2 weeks | 1/20/2005 | 1 | mood stabilizer, bipolar disorder | very sick when i didnt take it..it made me light headed...but it made me feel good...but i didnt like the effects it had on me when i didnt take it...it felt like i was withdrawin from heroin | dont take it | F | 17 | 2 years | 1/18/2005 | 4 | bipolar II | Apetite increase after night dose (450mg)Cannot control food intake--so hungry, to the point I don't care about my fat bum; like wead withought the high. Gained about 10 pounds. When I start falling asleep my body feels figgity, can't explane it very well; like if you overdosed smth... | One of the best mood-stibelisers I have tried. (Kill zyprexa, put on 30 pounds in half an year) | F | 25 | 1 days | 1/17/2005 | 4 | unable to sleep at night | Have had some weight gain, and notice that I am more hungry and wanting to snack during the day. Have had charley horses in my feet at night, but am unsure if it is caused by Seroquel, and will monitor them. | By taking Seroquel 25 mg. at bedtime, I have noticed that I am now sleeping between 6-8 hours per night and was unable to do that before. With my anxiety condition and problems with arthritis, I was a mess during the day without taking the Seroquel cause I was always tired from lack of sleep. My doctor and I agreed that not sleeping during the night was causing much stress on my joints and that's why we decided on the Seroquel. When I was taking Ambien for sleep, it wasn't working near as well, and that's why I was changed to Seroquel. It's nice to be able to actually get a full nights sleep for a change. My joints feel much better after a full nights sleep. | F | 2 weeks | 1/15/2005 | 4 | chronic insomnia, manic depression | was the only medication that helped me sleep, gained about 25 lbs which is very good in my case... I'm about 155lbs now.Chronic ringing and hissing in the ears, blurry vision. | I believe i was the first one to overdose on Seroquel in summer 2002, i took 9000 mg one night, 3 hours later i went into a deep sleep and 15 hours later i woke up in the hospital ICU and here i am, i survived it and glad i did because no matter what every day above ground is a good day. | M | 3 years | 1/11/2005 | 3 | Bipolar & Insomnia | restless legs & weight gain | This medications works like a charm. I sleep great and it stabilizes my mood well. However, the weight gain is terrible and it won't come off no matter how much I watch what I eat & exercise. Also, it gives me wicked restless legs shortly after taking it. Its like a surge of adrenalin rushing through my legs until I konk out. Its also tough to wake up. Im going to ask my doctor to take me off of it. Too bad since it works so well. | M | 26 | 6 months | 1/5/2005 | 4 | Chronic depression/anxiety | increased appetite, occasional drowsiness/tired, improvement in sleeping, over-full sensation, continuously snacking. | In 2003, I had major surgery for a pancreatic tumour (Whipple procedure), so I am not 100% sure about the side-effects as I have difficulty in digestion. What I did notice is an increase in hunger and an extremely full feeling after eating, and extreme hunger pains avery 2-3 hours. I sleep all-night now, but, have some pretty wild dreams and occasional dizziness. | M | 39 | 2 weeks | 1/4/2005 | 5 | Schizophrenia | Tiredness, Dry mouth, Excessive Weight Gain. Been on the medicine for just under 5 years, have developed some light twitching.. being taken off of it due pancreas problems and diabetes like symptoms. Doctors think I may be bordering diabetes and the seroquel has taken a tole on me. | This medicine has helped me TREMENDOUSLY but now it's found that it may have been harming too. I have to switch meds now. Not sure what to think.. was a child when I was put on it, I was told 5 yrs ago long term effects on children weren't known, so I took that risk williningly... | F | 18 | 5 years | 1/3/2005 | 5 | Insomnia | Had to stop taking it when hubby works. I don't wake up when the baby cries. I sleep right through everything. Fire Engines and police outside apartment building one night and I NEVER heard them. | F | 27 | 2 weeks | 1/1/2005 |
