| 1 | Tourettes and ADHD | Brain was so wiped out the morning after taking first dose, I couldn't focus enough to read the morning news. Shortly thereafter, body had a horrible tic attack. The rest of the morning, my brain was a complete fog - sat at my desk at work and just stared at the papers in front of me, unable to read or comprehend anything. By far this the WORST medication I have ever taken. It should be removed from the market. | M | 38 | 1 days | 8/24/2015 | 4 | EUPD & Severe Anxiety | Quetiapine has helped my mental health problem loads. I'm not so caught up on negative emotions anymore and my relationships are building back to where they should be. Overall mentally this prescription drug has helped me for the better. Only side effect noted on my body is enhancement of breast size. Highly painful when increasing in size; but as I 'was' a woman of smaller proportion... this seems to be adding confidence to me as well as building my mental and emotional positivity. | I have been diagnosed with EUPD (Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder) , Severe Anxiety & previously under 5yrs ago PTSD for being sexually assaulted at work by a 79yr old. | F | 24 | 9 weeks 50mg | 7/28/2015 | 4 | Not sure | Increasing memory loss, everything seems not real, passive and compliant. Lived so long in the Seroquel world, seems impossible to think more than a few thoughts ahead as it all starts to fade and go in circles. | It has been a slow long process to unplug my brain. Now I am paranoid and not sure the medication has done anything to slow or stop the paranoia. I think my doctor is experimenting on me. Has me on klonopin, Seroquel, Temazepam. Now she has added additional 200 mg of Seroquel during the day. Only in the morning for a short time can I seem to think a little of my own thoughts in the fog of Seroquel hangover. I read somewhere these are brain disabling drugs, a chemical lobotomy in a pill form. I hope this is not permanent but the strange part is I don't seem to care anymore if it is. I used to think it weird when whe would smile when she said this will probably make you feel a little funny, don't drive, but you will adjust. What's worse the cure or the disease. | M | 63 | 3 years 600 mg 2X day | 7/26/2015 | 4 | Psychosis, Severe Depression | Dry mouth, Shaking/Twitching, Decreased Appetite, Mood Swings, Decreased Motivation, Extreme tiredness | While I had decreased psychotic episodes the ones I did have were far more intense. I, at times, would become extremely dissociated from the world, I couldn't tell if anything was real anymore. The previous statement was worsened by the extremely vivid and life like dreams that I had while on the drug. | M | 16 | 1.2 years 75 mg 1X day | 7/14/2015 | 4 | bipolar | Teleportation | It works once you get used to it | M | 29 | 2 years 600 1X day | 6/30/2015 | 1 | Mild depression. *MILD* | Only awake for 3 hours out of every day. Severe paranoia. Anxiety. Increased suicidal thoughts and behavior. Vivid nightmares. The deepest pit I've ever found myself in. This should NOT be used to treat mild depression. | I was 17 at the time, mildly depressed, and needed good counseling. I was instead pumped full of chemicals that wreaked havoc on my whole being. I did not go back to that psychiatrist. | F | 17 | 3 months 60mg | 6/18/2015 | 1 | Anxiety Disorder | Racing Heart, even worse panic attacks. Sugar problems. Weight gain. Dizziness. Spacy feeling. Always tired | I wouldn't recommend anyone to take this medicine. I'm always so tired from this pill and it causes you to be so hungry. Made my panic attacks worse. | F | 20 | 3 months | 6/18/2015 | 1 | insomnia | Extreme anxiety, paranoia, hallucinations. When I finally went to sleep had horrible nightmares. | Will never take this again. | F | 61 | 1 days 50 1X day | 6/16/2015 | 4 | Bipolar 2 | Extreme tiredness! When first taking it, I fell alseep at work, in the train to and from work. It knocked me out in 5 minutes. Am now taking the extended relief and am functional again! It has kept the worst of both spectrums at bay. | I did not gain any weight, though the constant craving for sugar is tiring. I had to cut it out all together and just started walking / jogging more. It has given me a saftely raft during some heavy storms. I live in Germany and take the generic versions, and I am satisfied. Note: if you take this, you will have to monitor your eating and take a bit of time to excercise. | F | 39 | 1.5 days 200 1X day | 6/14/2015 | 1 | Bipolar Depression / Insomnia | Took 100 MG last night. Was barely able to make it to the bed. Felt intoxicated, dizzy. Slept but had racing heart, trouble relaxing. Very "hungover" feeling this morning. Thirsty, shaky, have felt bad all day. These side effects are intolerable and this medication is number 14 for me. I won't be taking another one! | For me the side effects are not worth a night of sleeping. | F | 54 | 1 days 100 MG | 6/13/2015 | 3 | Schizophrenia | Restless while being incredibly tired. Muscle spasms which subsided after 6 months.Sleep hangover. Excessive sleepiness. | This was added to my Remeron, Risperdal, and Topamax. I had to be given Cogentin to counteract the side effects. It works great for my illness but the side effects make it too much to bear sometimes. | F | 19 | 1 years 300 XR | 6/6/2015 | 2 | Insomnia, depression | Somnolence, restless legs, increased risk of diabetes, thyroid suppression. | Added to Wellbutrin for depression and loved being able to sleep, though I didn't notice any improvement in depression (which I have had for 23 years). Cut dose in half to 25 mg due to restless legs. As the result of a routine thyroid test after 5 months, found I was at elevated risk for diabetes (other reviews have mentioned this) and thyroid, which had been fine for years, was suppressed. I weaned off over about a month and thyroid is returning to normal and diabetes marker is lower. I miss the sleep though, and occasionally take one for a night's rest, but am too scared of the other side effects to do more than that. Plus even on 25 mg I get a little sleep "hangover." | F | 62 | 5 months 50mg/25mg | 5/30/2015 | 1 | mood swings,depression,anxiety | I pass out and cannot wake up. I feel like ive slept 1 hour when i sleep 8. I am angry, yelling at objects such as a bed sheet. I rethink my purpose in life 100xs a day. Im a zombie | I was on lamotragine for about two weeks had bad side effects but i was functional...i felt rested... They switched me to seroquel because of the side effects and bumped me from 50mg to 300mg in 4 days... I havent felt like I've slept in almost a month.my daily routine is hindered because i am so lethargic.. I feel dead like a lost corps roaming the earth...im not here and it scares me | F | 30 | 3 weeks 300 | 5/19/2015 | 1 | Insomnia | My Therapist of 15 years died, We finally found a combo that didn't make me sick or like I was in hell. BP2-GAD-ADHD-Primary insomnia -Boarderline Personality. Took a lot of being a lab rat. From 4 meds including geodon which almost killed me. Celexa,Adderall,Xanax,Ambiem. Don't ask me how all that works together but I was doing art, walking and Happy. Never abused any of them, sadly I have witnessed a few deaths on these controlled very addictive meds. What is so sad is that's all these prescribers consider. I understand that however used correctly I was alive. | Now after going off all of it because no doc. Fail by Doctors to look at my history. Long story I've been on everything but Seroquel, suggested replacing Seroquel for sleep no ambien. Trial 10 MG a night I cut these nasty pills in half, 3 weeks into it as I figured I woke up after 20 hours of sleep felt like I was in a coma. Sore joints, legs hurt to walk, severe abdominal problems, black hard stools, when I can because my stomach is so painful I feel horrible. Days go by different things I notice on just that small amount. Now I am certain the peptic ulcer I had @ in. My 20s, is back and perferated, Bleeding. This needs to be dicontinued it will kill you. | F | 46 | 1 days 10 mg | 5/18/2015 | 5 | Bipolar | I am on XR and 25 mg 3x a day of regular seroquel. Since October, I have had excruciating, non stop pain in both hands and feet. Has anyone had pain with this med.? | This was the only medication my doctor has increased/decreased in the past year. Doctors can't figure out my pain. Please let me know if you have had pain on this medication. | F | 43 | 2 years 150 | 5/15/2015 | 5 | Unable to sleep | Every now and then it is like I have taken a sugar pill. I joke that for every bottle they put 5 or 6 sugar pills in just for fun. I have to take Restoril with it or I don't fall all the way asleep. It's like I am asleep sort of but I can remember all of my dreams and I kind of turn into a movie director. I finally got to the point where if this continued on for too long I could say in my dream "ENOUGH." I had to think about it and tell myself this is what I was going to do for several weeks before my brain remembered to to say that while I was in that state. As long as I take the Restoril with it I actually fall asleep and have at least at short period of time where I am completely "unaware." | Something happened to me 9 years ago where I can't fall asleep on my own. I also probably had a nervous break down at the same time. The dr never really knew what happened to me. Before that I never had any problem sleeping. I don't know what I would do without Seroquel. Probably go crazy. I am very grateful to have it. I will say this. I am off all medication for depression an anxiety. I take a calcium/magnesium supplement and it takes the edge off and actually works better than the Zoloft of Wellbutrin that I took. When I was taking the Zoloft I had what they call vivid dreams. It was worse than what I described above. I've read about people who try to have vivid dreams. I think they are nuts. I also sweated a lot at night. Once I was finally off the Zoloft the night sweating and vivid dreams went away. Just saying that to say I knew then it wasn't the Seruquel doing it. If anyone has questions about the use of the Restoril along with the Seroquel you may email me. | F | 44 | 9 years 200 mg | 5/14/2015 | 1 | Bipolar Disorder | Seroquel can cause tardive dyskinesia. I was diagnosed with it at 19. It's an unbearable, potentially permanent and disfiguring neurological disorder that destroys lives. I do not recommend it. | F | 19 | 2 years 500 MG | 5/9/2015 | 3 | Panic Disorder, GAD, Depression | The morning after taking: - Very sore throat - Severe night sweats - Croaky cough - Difficulty swallowing - Burning/watering eyes - Chest tightness/wheeziness - Upper body and back stiffness and pain | Fairly fast acting as far as having a sedative/anxiolytic effect. Did not have issues when taking this medication at 15 years of age. However, the side effects may be a polypharmacy issue as I am now also on desvenlafaxine 250mg, clonidine 100mcg, modafinil 300mg and orphenadrine. Also have a history of sensitivity to most medications. | F | 23 | 2 days 25mg 1X day | 4/24/2015 | 1 | Afghan\veteran | Became Diabetic\lost half eye sight, Damn drug pushing pysch doctors. Down from 800mg to 200mg in 24hr period, remember 73% of brain receptors are, in the stomach, symptoms of withdrawal are cold sweats, hot flashes, irritability, if your too sick to eat please drink water all day, last people who go cold turkey usually need anti-anxiety meds thruout your future years. Thats all, Thanks for your stories… | M | 43 | 1 years 400mg | 4/11/2015 | 1 | Severe long-term depression | Unable to walk around safely during the night due to dizziness. Also was completely dehydrated when I got up to let the dog out during the night. | Let my dog out during the night and was unable to walk outside to get her due to fear of falling. Finally my neighbor stopped and helped. As I was thirsty went to get a drink of water, later that night found myself on the floor having knocked over a lamp and barking my shins. DON'T TAKE THIS if you live ALONE! | F | 61 | 1 days 150 1X day | 4/4/2015 |
