| 1 | schizophrenia | Somatic hallucinations and visual hallucinations panic attacks and paranoia | M | 24 | 1 days 100mg | 3/5/2012 | 1 | Bipolar II / Depression | Violent fainting attacks, bloated/very uncomfortable stomach, nausea, tremor, hot and cold flushes, burning sensation under the skin, headache and a feeling of pressure in the head, excessive sweating or shivering, tachycardia, heart palpitations, insomnia, neck pain. | Last in the line of attempted treatments for my bipolar II / depression. Stopped it after only one week at the lowest dose due to nasty fainting attacks combined with random selections of the other side effects I listed. I have never felt so physically ill before in my life, and was hospitalized one night due to it. Now, almost three weeks after stopping, I feel significantly better, but still far from good. Still have occasional attacks of low to medium severity and constant insomnia. | M | 26 | 7 days 25 1X day | 2/23/2012 | 1 | Anxiety | Memory loss, shortness of breath, unbeatable fatigue, twitches | I sat and watched my roommate get beaten up by her significant other and could not get off of the floor. I couldn't move because I thought my heart was going to explode from just getting out of bed and walking 10 ft to the living room. If you want zero control of your body and a helpless feeling in the middle of the night, take this medication. I also hit a parked car while driving and trying to make it to class, because the serequel made me so groggy. I wake up, do what I HAVE to do, and then fall asleep by 5pm. Found out how outrageous my dosage was from a nurse friend, an immediately stopped taking the mess with much consequence in side effects. It has been six years since I have taken serequel and I am just now feeling normal. | F | 29 | 1 years 250 1X day | 2/22/2012 | 4 | Bipolar diagnosis | I take 400mg before bed. Dry Mouth during later part of the night and in the morning. Wake up 2x/night to drink something. Extreme restlessness on the back of my legs 2-3 hours after taking seroquel. Taking pain killers to stop the leg restlessness. Late night hunger, but that might that might just be me :). | In my opinion bettter than other medicines, less physically tramatic. I'm still not as metally balenced as I would like to be but I am able to function day to day. I make lists of things to do and check them off. I am very lucky my family has stuck by me thru this. | M | 45 | 3 years 400 1X day | 2/11/2012 | 3 | Bi-polar and Borderline | Sleepy,"med munchies",parinioa,anxiety | Worked great in the begining then made me get paroniod,fearfull,twitchy so now im starting something knew hopefully it will help. The 1st 2 yrs made a BIG difference in me and was great | F | 34 | 3 years 600 1X day | 2/10/2012 | 2 | anxiety, sleep | Hallucinations - sounds and visuals, very zombie like, nausea | M | 15 | 1 days 200 MG | 2/8/2012 | 1 | Major Depressive Disorder | Dizziness,difficulty breathing,memory loss,chills,uncontrolled muscle movements,vision changes,and paranoia. | Would never recommend it to anyone else!This drug is very addictive and can cause some major problems to the body and mental health.Heavy sleepiness and also major memory loss.Mood changes depending on how much you take or feel about the meds.Also its so strong I cant even feel emotions at times. | F | 15 | 9 years 350 2X day | 2/8/2012 | 1 | depression | restless cannot sit still feel on edge/wound up all the time,crying every day/head cold | M | 43 | 3 weeks 100mg 1X day | 2/7/2012 | 5 | bipolar, psychosis | Lethargy | F | 40 | 6 years 400mg | 2/4/2012 | 3 | Sleep/anxiety | Made me feel a presence of an "Entity", felt as tho boyfriend had someone in room, yet no one was there. Made me paranoid and turned on lights. The other rooms in the house felt as a maze, very deep, and at times un reachable. Seems to be helping me sleep tho. | F | 49 | 10 days 50mg 1X day | 2/4/2012 | 5 | insomnia/racing mind | 20 minutes after I take it and am half asleep I get up to eat cereal because I feel like I'm "starving". Slowly feel like memory is an issue (given I have been on it for 7 going on 8 yrs) | Honestly, I love Seroquel. I was given 100mg, BUT I cut them into 25mg. Sleep great! ... but I do need to get in like 9 hrs. I have have quit taking them for a month before because I ran out and it was tough but this time I am quitting because it truly does leave long term effects to your memory, and in no way want to have Alzheimer's or Parkinsons or dimensia. I am getting injections of super B complex, eating and juicing organic, I take my Klonopin as needed for anxiety and am going to talk to my doctor about going on a low dose anti-depressant. Best of luck to everyone! and feel free to contact me, I have been on every medication under the sun!!! | F | 27 | 7 years 25mg 1X day | 2/3/2012 | 1 | anxiety | Its horrible i took the by 2:44 and at 2:50 i was out cold this is day 3 without it im still sluggish and suffering memory loss.....oh and a very big appetite not a good med. Its like being sedated | F | 26 | 1 days 700mg | 2/2/2012 | 1 | Insomnia | Want to destroy your brain with this neurotoxicity drug? Should not have been given to me for insomnia. Causes your brain tO shut down serotonin and mOre. Also causes tics and depressiOn. Destroyed my brain. | F | 44 | 7 years 50mg | 1/28/2012 | 5 | Bipolar depression | Some weight gain and short term memory loss | This drug has saved my life,I have been down to the very bottom and tried several times to commit suicide. I did try once to get off of Seroquel because the weight gain bothered me but once again I dropped down to the darkest of depression along with the Biploar symptoms. I have been back on Seroquel and could not be happier. For me it is a literal life saver! Tried so many other meds did not work like Seroquel, just wished it came in generic. | F | 53 | 2 years 600 mg. 1X day | 1/26/2012 | 5 | Bipolar I Disorder | Weight gain, sleepiness, vivid dreams | I consider it to be a life saving medication. | F | 35 | 2.5 years 100 MG 1X day | 1/25/2012 | 4 | Bipolr | sadation about half an hour after I take it. I take this right before bedtime so this works well with all my other medications to put me down for a well rested sleep. | I have had little weight gain | M | 42 | 2 years 100mg 1X day | 1/22/2012 | 1 | Bipolar and sleep | I'm a 56 year old male. Seroquel gave me Type 2 Diabetes. Also suffering from Hepatitis C my platelets dropped to a dangerous range. While on Srroquel my platelets remained low. I was getting transfusions of packed platelets every other week. Since coming off Seroquel I make my own platelets. My platelets have increased without a transfusion. Seroquel is a very dangerous drug. They charge megabucks for the drug. I'm going to try to sue Astra Zenica. | M | 56 | 4 years 300mg. SR | 1/16/2012 | 5 | bipolar | Gained 30 lbs. Could not stop eating but it is the only med that helped me sleep. Quit taking it because I got too porky---can't sleep now but am slender again. Otherwise zoloft alone is good---don't need prozac 80,neurontin 3200,or seroquel. | F | 49 | 2 years 200mg | 1/10/2012 | 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 | 1 | major depression | Painful lower abdominal bloating, irritated stomach, weight gain, fast heart palpitations, memory loss | This drug does assist me with depression, but overall when you assess the overall benefit, considerting all of the side effects that I am experiencing, the benefit does not outweight the severe side effects. | F | 52 | 90 days 50 1X day | 1/10/2012 |
