| 1 | Bipolar disorder | I became a zombie, extremely suicidal, irritability, headaches, severe depression, increased anxiety, increased paranoia | I wish my doctor would take me off of it, I hate the drug. It's not worth taking, it will screw you up more than it will help you. | F | 15 | 9 months 500mg | 8/1/2016 | 1 | Depression | It's blocking my receptors. I am like a zombie, meaning that I am emotionally blunt. | I need to know if there are any medications that could reverse the side effects of Seroquel. | M | 31 | 8 years 100 mg | 7/15/2016 | 1 | Misdiagnosed BP and HM | Horrible Drug: To anyone taking this drug read the Black Box Warning and there are YouTube videos and read all the ratings of 1 on this site page and all the symptoms will become evident | WICKED DRUG, DO NOT TAKE FOR THE SIDE EFFECTS AND WITHDRAWAL ARE HELL ON EARTH. RESEARCH AS MUCH AS YOU CAN FOR IT WILL MESS UP YOUR NUEROTRANMITTERS AND YOUR LIFE. IT IS A NASTY WICKED DRUG .BEWARE,BEWARE,BEWARE | M | 60 | 4 days 300mg 1X day | 6/29/2016 | 3 | Misdiagnosed bipolar | Gained thirty pounds | It's good short term (3-6 months) until a proper longer term plan is developed. It's been described as a 'dirty drug' because it affects so many neurotransmitters. Should only be used with psychosis. The benefits of this drug would only outweigh the most extreme cases of mental illness, I believe. | F | 39 | 1 years 150 | 6/25/2016 | 1 | What my doctor calls "hypomania." | I HATE the way this stuff makes me feel. It's terrible. It makes me feel groggy and drowsy, but it doesn't help me sleep. It makes my restless leg syndrome worse, just like antihistamines do. I also feel sick, kind of like a bad hangover. There's also kind of a jitteriness in the way I feel. It's like my muscles have been sedated but my nervous system hasn't. There's just as much anxiety as before taking the drug, but you feel so groggy and letharic that you can't do anything to ease the jitters. This is a terrible drug. My doctor prescribed it for a condition she calls hypomania, but after taking just half of a 50 mg pill I can tell that this is not what I need. The grogginess and lethargy might be okay if the drug actually helped me sleep, but it doesn't. It's like it both sedates and excites my nervous system at the same time, so my body and my mind are confused as hell. I couldn't wait for the effects of that 1/2 pill to wear off. | My doctor said that she has had patients who take a 600 mg dose of this drug. I think 600 mg would kill me, seriously. The effect from just 25 mgs was almost too much for me to bear. If you decide to try this drug, be very careful. Better yet, don't take it. | M | 48 | 1 days 25 mg | 6/24/2016 | 1 | Filed complaint against police offi | Addictive, passing out if you stand up, mental and I motion al impairment, weight gain, unable to defend yourself, difficulty walking and standing, racing heart 180 bpm, read the time/cnn so many PTFE trooped dying within one year of taking it they called it a plague. SEROKILL | New assassination drug but I was warned to get off medicine by two plain clothed women when in hospital. I went from being one of the most capable people on earth to a cripple. Was experimented on with military weapons, Microwave MEDUSA Weaponn, V2K, Heat attack, mock execution, forced suicide using voice cloning and MEDUSA. These are sick people and there are huge kick backs for prescribing this drug. Addiction, weight gain, loosing use of legs, passing out....off for 10 years and still struggling. I own a robotic company for 9 years before this built two homes and now I'm crippled. | M | 57 | 6 days 1,400 1X day | 6/20/2016 | 1 | Filed complaint against police offi | Addictive, passing out if you stand up, mental and I motion al impairment, weight gain, unable to defend yourself, difficulty walking and standing, racing heart 180 bpm, read the time/cnn so many PTFE trooped dying within one year of taking it they called it a plague.

Wanted to hurt others. | Tried Seroquel 300 mg. a day again. By the 3rd day, I wanted to kill myself. I even got a hose for my car exhaust, and a roll of duct tape to seal the window. I emailed my friend and said I was going to kill someone. I knew these thoughts were "not the real me", and realized it was indeed the Seroquel making me think like that. Stopped Seroquel immediately, and within a week, I was my happy self again. Will never take this drug again. | M | 53 | 3 days 300 MG 1X day | 6/9/2016 Patient History | 1 | Depression and Anxiety | Lethargy, apathy, fatigue, weight gain, I just didnt care much about anything. I couldnt. | This drug along with other anti psychotics shouldnt be taken as a first option. Although it seemed to mask/dull the anxiety and depression, it made me a zombie. I wanted to sleep all of the time.. I gained 50+ lbs over the 12 years I was on seroquel. I was told that I could never get off of this stuff, but 16 months ago, I quit cold turkey. Weening off was not an option for me, as it made me feel more anxiety, and more 'crazy'. I went through 3 months of withdrawal from taking seroquel. I would never recommend that anyone take it..ever. I now have permanent damage done to me mentally..I have tremors and small 'tics' but it was worth getting off, for sure. I can FEEL again! | F | 44 | 12 years 100 1X day | 6/4/2016 | 5 | Insomnia and anxiety | Deep sleep 7-8 hours per night. Less anxiety. No negative side effects at all. | F | 47 | 3 months 12,5mg | 6/3/2016 | 4 | Depression, anxiety, suicidal ideat | Extremely drowsy in the morning it I don't get 8-10 hrs of sleep. Dry mouth. I'm 34 but feel like I'm 90 after taking this med for 3 weeks. Doesn't matter if I do anything strenuous or sit around all day. My whole body hurts. | My depression, anxiety has toned down alot since taking it. | F | 34 | 1 months 150 | 6/1/2016 | 5 | Bipolar | Weight gain,lethargy | Started on 300mg per day then gradually reduced to 25 mg taken at night.Can increase dosage when needed which gives almost immediate relief from symptoms.I do find I have less energy than I used to but that is better than a mind and body on overdrive.Seroquel has made me calmer but you have to compliment it with life style changes.No drinking alcohol,caffeine,late nights and try to avoid any trigger situations.My kids call it my magic pills and I will continue to take them for life. | F | 46 | 4 years 25mg | 5/18/2016 | 4 | borderline PD, psychosis, anxiety | appetite increase, weight gain, infrequent blurred vision, lethargy/fatigue | started taking for unstable moods and psychotic episodes. helped stabilise my moods somewhat and vastly reduced frequency of psychosis. also made me feel much calmer and reduced how often i have panic attacks. improved my quality of sleep, helps me get to sleep much faster than without it. the weight gain is very hard to deal with as this medicine makes me more lethargic | M | 20 | 2 months 150mg | 5/13/2016 | 1 | Added to ssri for major depressive | Weight gain,35 lbs, 286 cholesterol, and type two diabetes. | Successfully tapered off seroquel one month ago. W/d symptoms were, anxiety attacks, mood swings, suddenly depression out of nowhere. These symptoms weren't constant thank god. Itched myself till I had bruises. And Some BLURRED vision. Symptoms almost gone after one month. Clarita works to cease itching. Doc gave me halcion for sleep temporarily and tranxene for anxiety. Never had any GI symptoms, thankfully. I feel great! Lost ten pounds already. My appetite is back to normal. This can be done, if weaned off slowly. I will never take a antipsychotics again, really should read about all drugs before taking them, don't just take docs advice. Never experienced W/D before, ad hope to never again. Seroquel messes with your brain chemistry and not in a good way! | M | 50 | 1 months 100 | 5/12/2016 | 2 | PTSD | When the effects first started, i was drowsy, almost like i was drunk. I was woozy and falling over my own feet to lie down and i couldnt keep my eyes open. I woke 3 hours later with EXTREME rage ready to take on the world and I'm normally very withdrawn. Im sensing bad things will happen if i continue taking this drug thats making me so enraged. I began taking it January of 2015, stopped in July 2015 and was on 25mg x 5 daily (125mg total). I was in a unit when i first started this drug so I can't really remember much about it i was that zoned out. After taking just one, i think i'll pass this time. | Never again. | F | 22 | 1 days 25mg | 5/8/2016 | 1 | anxiety and insomnia | gained 60 lbs within 3 months, high blood pressure which i now am taking meds also for, slept great while on it but not worth the side effects stay away from this med | withdrawal is hell | F | 31 | 6 months 50 mg 1X day | 5/1/2016 | 1 | Insomnia, Schizotypal Personality D | Increased appetite. Massive weight gain of 100+ pounds. Development of type 2 diabetes. Development of sleep apnea. Fatigue, lethargy & apathy. | I have been on this medication for around 15 years now. I have tried going off it many, many times. I even slowly tapered it down to 6.5 mg, but always ended up back on it because without it - I wouldn't sleep at all for days, until I would usually start hallucinating and feeling like I was coming apart at the seams. Nothing else seems to work for my insomnia. I am fed up with constantly feeling tired all day and am sick of being so overweight. I went cold turkey 7 nights ago & have only managed 8 hours of sleep TOTAL since. I'm exhausted, but OK mentally, in part thanks to being on Prozac & in part to being so determined to get off of it for once and for all. While it guaranteed sleep for me, it simply wasn't worth the side effects. | F | 48 | 15 years 6.25-500mg 1X day | 4/12/2016 | 5 | Anxiété généralisée et dépression | Au départ somnolence constipation troubles de la mémoire prise de poids augmentation de l'appétit et grosse fatigue. | Ça fait 3 ans que je prends ce médicament qui m'a changé la vie. Je dors mieux je suis stable et beaucoup moins anxieuse. Je suis passée de 300 à 200 mg récemment et je n'ai quasiment plus d'effets secondaires. | F | 39 | 1 days 200 | 4/4/2016 | 1 | bipolar | Very little quality sleep, weight gain, tiredness and diabetes. Now I'm trying to get off it but can't sleep at all. | It's hell. Don't take it. | F | 3 months 300 | 3/30/2016 | 1 | Bipolar 1 | Sever Itchiness over whole body | All drugs work differently for everyone when it comes to side effects. My whole body would itch for hours. | M | 21 | 300 1X day | 3/4/2016 |
