| 1 | PTSD War Veteran | Weight Gain, High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, Type11 Diabetes, Glaucoma | I'm putting this here as a warning. I've gained over 100lbs and now have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and trouble seeing. My life as I knew it is over and now I'm on a road to death. My married life is no life, the happeness I once knew is over. I'm setting here crying thinking about the life I once had, Its a life no one understands. Please find another way and don't let this drug seroquel take your life and happeness, the world around you is a dream. I'm not the man I use to be, I've been on this drug for 5 years at 600 Mg. now and it controls my life, I tried getting off of the drug and the withdraw is painfull. This drug seroquel is in control and is fighting me very hard and won't let me get off. | M | 5 years | 7/16/2008 | 1 | insomnia anxiety | Became color-less & out of it most of the day. Unable to wake up at normal hours. Binge eating at night. Gained 16 lbs in 4 months. | Coma like sleep. It never occurred to me that this drug caused eight gain. It's a good drug if you only sleep or eat when you are not sleeping! | F | 41 | 4 months | 7/14/2008 | 1 | anxiety | WEIGHT GAIN!!! 130 to 175 in less than 3 months!!!!! | HORRIBLE WEIGHT GAIN!!!!!!!!! | M | 35 | | 7/14/2008 | 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 | Anxiety | I liked it, I have never done hardcore opiates, until I tried Seroquel. It made me nod if I was not moving around. I recommend it for anyone who wants to nod without the itchiness. I do realize it is not an opiate, I guess? | M | 32 | 2 days | 7/10/2008 | 4 | Insomnia, Depression | MAJOR APPETITE; BOTTOMLESS PIT; CAN'T STOP EATING. It's driving me crazy. | Gaining weight very fast. | F | 38 | 2 months | 7/7/2008 | 3 | Bipolar I | Tired. Weight gain. | M | 38 | 6 years | 7/7/2008 | 1 | coming off other meds | very dopie in am take it at night | fear being able to stop taking it | F | 49 | 7 years | 6/21/2008 | 3 | Bipolar | I have gained 35 pounds in 2 1/2 years. Also, I find it difficult to fall asleep without it. | Seroquel works really well for my bipolar disorder, but the weight gain has been horrible. | F | 30 | 2.5 years | 6/16/2008 | 5 | extreme anxiety/insomnia | I had one case of syncopi in the beginning, also gained 10 pounds. My cholesterol jumped some, but overall, this medication has been a Godsend and has helped me remain centered, focused, able to sleep at night, reduced panic attacks, and has definitely improved my quality of life. | When lipitor was added to treat my cholesterol, I developed terrible joint and muscle pains. I've been off the lipitor for 6 months now but my doctor wants me to try Zocor because my cholesterol has jumped up again. :( | F | 56 | 7 years | 6/12/2008 | 1 | anxiety | I was a walking zombie! I couldn't think straight. I was tired all the time. I stopped taking it. There was no way to function while taking this medication. It made me sicker than the anxiety! | This stuff should be banned! It is dangerous! | F | 52 | 5 days | 6/7/2008 | 1 | anxiety, insomnia | lethargic, couldn't focus or think straight, rapid heartbeat,achy muscle in neck,feeling flushed all the time | great for sleeping, but had trouble getting up. all the side effects weren't worth taking this med. back to my trusty ambien. didn't get the ravenous appetite others had problems with, actually lost a few pounds.. i believe due to the rapid heart beat. | F | 51 | 3 weeks | 6/3/2008 | 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 | 3 | Bi Polar | Huge weight gain, muscle aches | Works well for my moods, helps with sleep some, got to do something about the weight gain! 100lbs | F | 57 | 6 days | 5/30/2008 | 5 | depression, anxiety | sleepy | F | 59 | 21 days | 5/28/2008 | 1 | Anxiety | extreme paranoia after reading the potential sides effects. other than extreme sedation, no physical side effects. | This drug is great if you ever decide to take up drooling on yourself as a hobby | M | 28 | 2 weeks | 5/27/2008 | 2 | bipolar | extremely tired, take at night, sleep 10-12 hours, short term memory loss | M | 57 | 2 years | 5/24/2008 | 5 | Insomnia & mania | Sugar/carb cravings, minor weight gain | I'd heard horror stories about the horrendous weight gain, but then nothing could be as bad as Depakote and Zyprexa. Anyway, SQ KR is FABULOUS for calming me at work and 400 regular SQ is FABULOUS for helping me sleep like a baby with minor AM grogginess. The weight gain is countered by the Topamax I'm taking for alcohol abstinence. I like this; I like this a LOT. I am just hoping that I don't get the other horrendous side effects that I've heard about, though; the possibility of diabetes, cataracts, etc. I've been taking this since October and so far no problems with my eyes, but I'd really rather be safe than sorry. | F | 44 | 7 months | 5/21/2008 | 5 | b-p, anxiety, dep, extreme paranoia | 1st week included fits of anger, slept 12 hrs per day, dry mouth, shakes, mild muscle spasms, loss of appetite | the first week/increased dosage is the worst. Plan to sleep at least 12 hours. Didn't crave carbs as others reported but do smoke a lot more. I drink 100 oz of water daily to keep the dry mouth under control. Started noticing some differences in the mid of week 2: woke up happy. Lots of energy, happy, similar to manic state without loss of control. Shakes and mild muscle spasms after eating a grapefruit. Overall, I am pleased with this drug. Paranoia kept to a minimum, moods regulated, seems to be controlling anxiety/depression. Still haven't tried going into any crowded places (but consider it) which is a huge step. This appears be the drug I have been waiting for... | F | 31 | 3 weeks | 5/21/2008 | 3 | bipolar disorder | | 5/21/2008 |
