| 1 | depression and insomnia | The worst thing I've ever done. I want my life back. Went cold turkey because I was becoming diabetic from taking seroquel. This is my first time taking an antipsychotic ever. Anyone with suggestions please post. Feeling like a zombie everyday. I feel like myself maybe for an hour a day. People are noticing a difference in my conversation. Help!!!!! | M | 40 | 1 months 300xr | 3/27/2015 | 1 | insomnia | do not take this drug for any reason. It is pure pure evil. It was prescribed for insomnia, which works very well, but the side effects are horrendous. gained 60 pounds. walked around stoned everyday. do not listen to the doctors when they say this drug is not addictive. I have been on this drug for 4 years and the withdrawal is absolutely unbearable. it has taken me more than 5 or 6 months to get back to normal. please please please stay away from this drug. doctors will tell you this is a harmless drug. Do not listen to them. | you are in for a lot of trouble if you start this drug. at first you will be happy you're able to sleep, but believe me it is not worth the horrible horrible insidious side effects. | M | 48 | 3 years 200 mg | 3/13/2015 | 3 | Depression and anxiety | Seroquel has always worked for immediate sleep UNTIL two months ago i was up all night and then finally fell asleep around eight in the morning. I felt horrible the rest of the day. I was afraid, but took it the next night and it worked UNTIL last night I was up alllll night wide awake. Horrible. Then around eight o'clock I think I passed Out and slept until my family woke me at two. What is happening? This scares me to death. The pharmacist doesn't know. I'm scared to go to bed tonight. I don't drink caffeine, nothing was different. If anyone has had this happen plze let me know. I'm scared. | I take regular Seroquel not xr | F | 60 | 6 years 300mg | 3/6/2015 | 5 | paranoia | dry and tight sinuses with headaches | well so far I am not complaining. It has helped me . I fall asleep fast but do to my pain I have had for 20 years I awake often but I feel better than taking some potent pain meds.before, but never again. This has helped me have a life compared to being the zombie I was. | F | 64 | 2 months 50 MG 1X day | 2/15/2015 | 3 | Groggy, grumpy, cranky. | I took it for anxiety and sleep problems. It help's a tiny bit, but then after a couple days I was too cranky and moody to continue medication. Felt like I drank cheap wine the next day, kinda like Trazadone. | M | 47 | 14 days 50 MG 2X day | 2/2/2015 | 1 | Misdiagnosed BP and HM | Brain Zaps, Urine Smell excessive Sweating, hallucinations, delirium excessive urination , lose of friends,family, work, insomnia,craving sugar,aching bones,misdiagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis,nightmares,overactive libido,excessive anger,lose of feelings etc | Went cold turkey in August 2014, insomnia till December 2014,brain Zaps and loss of feelings,nightmares,excessive anger and sweating. I do not recommend going Cold Turkey yet it worked for me. Some people need this horrible drug and I didn't. I'm doing fine I drank lots of water during detox. I will never take a prescribed pill again until I do the research. Please research this pill before taking it. It's the Devil in a bottle,wicked drug,shame on Dr.s who use this as a catch all drug and anyone reading this be careful as it took me 4 years to get to the point of no more, goodbye and good riddance to Satin in a pill. For those of you fighting this drug good luck and you'll get better in time, I doubted myself some days and craved sleep for weeks yet I got through it time,patience and eating right it took months for my taste of foods to return,my destroyed relationships will never return and I blame AZ,the Dr.s and myself. True Story and read as much support information you can find lots of info on the web about this crazy,crappie god forsaken drug. Be careful as the side effects are lurking and will appear one day. Weight gain and diabetes are real as well as kidney and liver damage be sure to have those checked and vision. Currently the State of Texas is suing AZ. Off label prescription and the Black Box Warning is very real. I hope those who are taking this nasty wicked pill start the research if you have loved one on this drug research it for side effects | M | 59 | 4 years 300mg 3X day | 2/2/2015 | 1 | Insomnia | 20 lb weight gain without changing eating habits. Basically kills your metabolism. Hated it. Not to mention extreme tiredness. | F | 41 | 4 months 50 mg | 1/30/2015 | 5 | Bipolar 1 | While on regular Seroquel: Drowsiness, dry mouth, thirst, rapid heart rate a few hours after taking a dose, confusing moods and thoughts when starting (no more confusing than while in a psychotic manic state), akathisia (very bad at beginning but tapered off), moods swung when morning dose would wear off to night dose, VERY hard to get up in the morning Now taking XR: Drowsiness, rapid heart rate, thirst, sexual dysfunction | Started off at 100mg in the morning, 200mg at night. W/ every last ounce of sanity left while in a psychotic bipolar state I stayed on the med. My thoughts became organized within a few weeks but took a good 2-3 full months for the med to really shine (in a positive way). My moods however wouldn't stay stable in the evening so doc started XR. Mood is now stable throughout the day. Many complain about fogginess or being tired. XR makes me drowsy only when taken at bedtime, but unlike most people's opinions I've read, I LOVE this about Seroquel. When I want to sleep, I get good, solid sleep on a regular pattern. Much easier to get up in the morning. There is no generic equivalent of the XR, it is very expensive. Like any medication it is a risk versus benefit. For me this medication is worth the risks and is a blessing. | M | 32 | 9 months 300 1X day | 1/7/2015 | 1 | Anxiety and insomnia, postpartum | Horrible. I had absolutely no feelings at all. I felt stoned all day and it was very hard to function. I was confused and didn't recognize my own life. I have a 3 months old baby and a 3 year old to care for, so I was down right scared. My doctor told me to keep taking it despite my concerns. The last straw was when I took it too early in the evening (8:00) and was nursing my baby to sleep, and I basically hallucinated. I didn't recognize my own house. I hated this stuff. I took it for a week and it was the worst week of my life. | I have been off of it for two days and slept on my own fine. | F | 36 | 1 weeks 25 mgs 1X day | 12/29/2014 | 5 | Bi-Polar / Sleep Disorder | Occasional dry mouth | I take this medication at bedtime for both Bi-Polar and my sleep disorder, 400mg does the trick and keeps me stable. This drug has been a blessing and allowed me to live a normal life. I highly recommend this medication to anyone who has sleep problems related to Bi-Polar as it is much safer than taking long term benzos. | M | 48 | 8 years 400mg 1X day | 12/22/2014 | 3 | Bipolar 2 manic depression suicidal | Insomnia, racing thoughts, blackout anger moods, Seroquel Madness, If I fall asleep in an angry mood, I will not deep sleep but will be in a blacked out state get to what the reason i am mad and commence to do what I went there for. | I think it is one of the worst things that could be prescribed to me | M | 50 | 9 years 1200mg 2X day | 12/18/2014 | 1 | Bi-polar and Hypermania | All Delusions, hallucinations, sleep, dry mouth, weight gain, overactive libido, mood swings Over confidence all side effects. I am 100 days free of this dangerous drug | It is not for everyone, it destroyed my life and the Dr.know This is an off label drug.i went cols turkey off and I don't recommend any one do as I did, my night sweats, sugar cravings, nightmares and hallucinations have ceased, struggling with insomnia it's getting better.this is a dangerous drug, please research before taking it.it helps some as for me it took my life abs soul. | M | 59 | 4 years 300 | 12/17/2014 | 1 | Insomnia | Not able to sleep | Seroquel was working fine to give me much needed sleep then one night. Bam! I'm awake all night on the same dose. Very upsetting. Probably will not sleep at all tonight. | 59 | 6 days 25-50 mg 1X day | 12/9/2014 | 3 | Bipolar 2 depression | Was initially prescribed Seroquel XR and it made my severely fatigued - like I was sleeping around the clock. Dr. gave me ADDERAL to help me be more alert during the day but it was still a struggle. Went off due to major blood sugar spike. After a few months off and trying other meds I am back on the instant release with no major side effects so far. It's only been a couple of weeks though but so far so good. I am not depressed - yet - as I have been rapid cycling. Fingers crossed as I have been on SO many other mood stabilizers all with bad side effects. | F | 49 | 3 months 200 mg | 12/7/2014 | 1 | Bipolar Discorder/Insomnia | This medication did not really help me at all with my problems and it very possibly may have completely killed my reproductive function. I am currently waiting to find out if my body will ever recover, it has caused me to gain weight, develop breasts, varying levels of sexual dysfunction, it has damaged my blood sugar levels, and I may have completely lost the ability to procreate. There are over 10,000 law suits filed against AstraZeneca for things like this and I may be another soon, I implore you to research the rare and serious side effects before taking this in my experience worthless and dangerous pill. | M | 23 | 8 years 150mg 1X day | 12/3/2014 | 3 | Depression | It made me calm and not depressed anymore. The cons i had was bad dreams.I had two dreams in one week about close family members dying. I stop taking them.I didnt like waking up with those horrible dreams. | F | 31 | 10 days 50 | 11/19/2014 | 3 | schizophrenia | lingering grogginess, memory lapses, word retrieval slowness, depression, apathy. | it's a great stabilizer over time, but I believe the tradeoff of blunting mental and emotional range, can make it tempting to go off it for a while, just to see if it would make life more interesting. | M | 44 | 7 years 50 1X day | 11/15/2014 | 3 | Sleep troubles | Don't recall | It helps you sleep. | F | 14 | 1 years 50 1X day | 10/27/2014 | 1 | Bi-polar and Hypermania | Just a bad over prescribed bad drug Went cold turkey, it cost me my life, it destroyed friendships, prescribed to shut me up, this drug is used as a catch all for any ailment, I would not recommend this for anyone, I'm working through insomnia and angst for not researching this drug, nothing will ever have me take this drug again, did not dose down did not tell my doctor, just left it along. | M | 59 | 4 years 300 | 10/10/2014 | 1 | Anxiety | Woke up and felt like I was on fire. Took it 23 hours ago and I feel so groggy! Will never take it again! | F | 46 | 1 days 150 | 10/9/2014 |
