| 1 | Depression | Worked great at first but made me into a total bitch after a few weeks of taking it. Gives me back and leg pains as well as headaches. Menstral cycle is off. Severe mood swings. I didn't want to do ANYTHING except sit around and daydream. | It may work for some, but I'm not one of the lucky ones. | F | 24 | 3 weeks | 4/15/2006 | 1 | anxiety/major depression | The seroquel certainly decreased my anxiety, however, it made me so depressed that I think I was suicidal I was just too tired and my brain was too foggy to bother acting on my suicidal urges. I felt very flat and like I couldn't care less about even the most alarming things. I also had an increased appetite and intense hunger in the morning. I am glad to be off of this medication! | F | 24 | 7 days 100 2X day | 10/20/2010 | 1 | Paranoid Schizophrenia | Seroquel caused me acute psychosis, visions and voices. It caused what it was supposed to heal. Affected the dopamine-center so that it caused the effects of early tardive dyskinesia in an age of 24. Trouble urinating. Blunt/drugged down feeling through out the day. | Not a recommended medicine. Stay away if you can. WARNING: Causes severe blunt/drugged down feeling, tardive dyskinesia and Parkinsonism. | M | 24 | 1 months 350 1X day | 2/28/2011 | 1 | Bipolar Disorder, Insomnia | Overeating, fatigue, no sex drive, feeling foggy, depression | After stopping this medication, I have been UNABLE to sleep! I have taken several medications (including Ambien) and I still cannot sleep through the night. Seroquel gave me terrible withdrawls and killed my ability to SLEEP!! | F | 24 | 5 years 400 1X O | 6/11/2010 | 1 | schizophrenia | Somatic hallucinations and visual hallucinations panic attacks and paranoia | M | 24 | 1 days 100mg | 3/5/2012 | 1 | Panic Disorder/Anxiety/Bipolar | Excessive sweating, suicidal ideations, crying spells, stoned feeling, anxiety | I stopped taking this drug two nights ago and I still cannot stop sweating. It's awful. I sweat when I am sitting, doing nothing, wearing nearly nothing. I can't stop. This drug, along with pretty all the rest of the prescribed medications for these disorders, are nothing but terrifying. Seroquel in itself has 1665 side effects recognized by the FDA. It is also addictive, which is something I was never informed of. This drug did nothing but horrify me, so it absolutely did not help with my panic. It made me suicidal, so it absolutely did not help with depression. I suggest finding another option if you have any kind of nervous disorder. We are patients, not lab rats. | F | 24 | 2 weeks | 2/12/2008 | 1 | Bipolar Disorder | after 4 days of taking this med, I am getting off. I was experiencing severe drowsiness and a disconnected feeling. This was on 50 mg. When I moved up to 100, the panic attacks set in. I began sweating and became extremely nervous and paranoid. I had to drive to my mother's house to get comfort--imagine that! Whatever this med is worth, I don't think it's enough for this feeling! | F | 24 | 4 days | 5/22/2007 | 1 | ptsd,depression,insomnia,ed,anxiety | Ive experianced extream weight gain, rashes, | I take 50mg during the day to keep me calm. And 75mg at night to help me sleep. | F | 24 | 3 days | 7/16/2005 | 1 | Insomnia | Suicidal depression, increased appetite, lethargy, dry, red eyes | M | 24 | | 6/15/2009 | 5 | DEPRESSION/ PTSD | - IN THE VERY BEGINNING YOUR BODY HAS TO GET USE TO THE MEDICATION, I WAS SLEEPY ALL THE TIME AND WOULD STAY ASLEEP FOR 10 HOURS A NIGHT. WHEN I DID SET AN ALARM, IT WAS REALLY HARD TO WAKE UP. ONCE YOUR BODY ADJUSTS IT WORKS VERY WELL.TO ME ITS TO ME A MIRACLE DRUG - I WOULD BE IN A FAR WORSE PLACE WITHOUT IT. - ITS HELPED ME SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT AND HELPED MY ANXIETY SO MUCH. I WOULD DEFINETLY RECOMMEND THIS PILL. | F | 25 | 1 years 150 1X day | 7/12/2013 | 5 | Ptsd, depression, insomnia | Zombification; can't do things early mornings! Struggle to stay awake some days. Nausea. Emotional blunting (not giving a damn about anything - though not everyday ) Was hoping it would help me gain weight but no weight gain for me. | F | 25 | 1 years 25mg | 6/21/2014 | 5 | bipolar | Extreme drowsiness when first prescribed. After it gets into your system, you will feel ok. Take only when you can devote sleep time to it though. i.e don't take it, and then go driving afterward. | It eventually doesn't knock you out right off the bat, but there is weight gain. Workout and watch what you eat. | M | 25 | 10 months | 4/19/2007 | 5 | Mood Stabilization | none! | This med TURNED MY LIFE AROUND! Thank goodness for Seroquel!!! =) | M | 25 | 1 years | 8/8/2003 | 5 | insomnia mainly, also for anxiety | Somnolence is virtually the only serious side effect I had. But since I use it as a sleeping aid, its not really a side effect for me. It works great on anxiety during the day too - take it at bedtime. I feel rested in the morning. | No shakes, no spacey feelings, no major libido problems with it at 150mg/day. This is good given its an antipsychotic. Other ones I tried had way more side effects. | M | 25 | 2 years | 5/25/2004 | 5 | depression/psychosis | extreme sleepyness | am finding it very hard to get off this medication - i cannot sleep without it. | F | 25 | 1 years | 1/30/2002 | 5 | Sleep and Bi Polar | Dry mouth , and its hard to get out of bed sometimes. | I think seroquel is awesome for sleep! also i feel better about everything the depression has subsided quite well. I took my girlfriend home one night and took seroquel and it is quite scary so be careful. I was almost daydreaming while driving my car back to my house. Looking at the streets and places in town i thought i was back in my home town where i grew up. Almost delusional Seroquel is in a way. It takes about 2hrs to work good and your head starts to tingle and u just pass out really good stuff. My kidneys hurt in the morning because i dont pee and the med may or may not wake u so be prepared to pee like a racehorse. But all in all its awesome , oh and the weight gain is there very little it slows your metablism down a tad just work out a lil bit and your good to go! Great stuff | M | 25 | 6 months | 3/2/2007 | 5 | anxiety | The only side effects are a little dry mouth, very little weight gain (only if I eat during the cravings this medication gives), but I've also lost some weight on it. There was a problem of sleepiness when I first started, but the deep coma feeling has dissipated as my dose increased. They say smaller doses make you feel way more sleepy than larger ones. Positive side effect: I feel NORMAL again! I can be in places with people I don't know and not feel terrified! | I LOVE this medicine. My doctor recommended not reading about other people's reaction to this medicine, as not all psycotropic medicines react to individuals in the same way. Though I am grateful to know some people do not care for this drug, I also know it works for me and that's the true test right? :) | F | 25 | 6 months | 8/7/2007 | 5 | bipolar disorder | Weird, scary and awesome dreams. Feel like a zombie in the morning. Memory Loss, uncomfortable feeling in chest (sometimes), weight gain, restless legs, hallucianations | I know the side effects are bad, but for someone who attempted suicide and ended in a coma several times because of depression and impulsive acts, it really helps. I will never stop using my meds. I couldn't be a more happy person and everyone noticed the change and when I hear all the horror stories about who I was, I'm grateful for meds like this! And it makes you sleep, which I could barely do before the meds (3 out of 24 hours). Sad thing is I had to give up flying because of my meds, but it's worth it! | F | 25 | 3 years 400mg 1X day | 1/7/2013 | 5 | BP1, Depression, insomnia | I take 400 at night to start off. i've only been on it a week or so. just drowsiness in the morning a bit, but easy to deal with if i get 7-8 hrs sleep. | i would like to know about dieting and seroquel. i take Wellbutrin XL450, lamictal 300 and now seroquel 400. i read another post from someone who said a diet pill program was working, and i'm just wondering if any one else has input? please email me. | F | 25 | 1 weeks | 9/6/2006 | 5 | augmenting an SSRI (OCD) | Experienced a whole-body slight burning/buzzing sensation upon taking first dose. Felt unpleasantly forced into sleep, and woke up at 4am in an oddly subdued panic-- as though my brain had split and one side was freaking while the other was too groggy to care. Currently: slight involuntary muscle movements before sleep. | I take 20mg Celexa in the morning and 12.5 mg Seroquel before bed. Seroquel helps enormously with Celexa-induced insomnia, and allows me to keep normal hours. I no longer wake up fearing consciousness: instead I'm clear-headed, calm and functional. Five stars! | F | 25 | 2 months | 8/12/2006 |
