| 3 | sleeping disorder/anxiety | mild "hangover" feeling in the morning | I take 50mg before bed to help me calm down and get to sleep. It does work fairly quickly, but sometimes I had trouble staying asleep, and it did nothing to change my vivid dreams. It usually takes several hours after I wake up to shake off the hangover feeling. | F | 15 | 2 months | 9/14/2006 | 2 | Depression; Psychotic | I was very tired all the time when I took this, and I ended up sleeping very long hours. People with asthma: do NOT take this medicine. I have asthma, and by the third day I felt like I was going to die because my breathing was so heavy and whenever I heard a sound my heart would hurt so much, and everything around me was closing in like I was going blind. I needed my inhaler with me all the time. Also, in the morning I could feel my heart in my ears, and there was a slight buzzing sound coming off from the back of my head. The weight gain has been horrible--I gained fifteen pounds from it, and I am still trying to shed it all off. | It helped, yes--but the side effects were not only horrifying, but I had a risk of dying. I will never, and people with asthma should never, ever take this medicine. | F | 15 | 3 months | 7/18/2008 | 2 | ADHD/ anxiety acute Bipolar | well first i started to take seroquel and i loved it all my sleeping problems went away. until this pattern formed, right before id go to sleep and it would be all quiet i began to hear things and see things and i would have rapid nightmares. last week i woke up screaming god no's why? and because i had these thoughts i became paranoyed to sleep. the dellusions came and they would go away... but ive gained weight and i just want to tell people what happended. | great for insomnia. but not for me.... go see help if u have these side effects that happen to you.. | M | 15 | 6 months | 1/27/2006 | 2 | anxiety, sleep | Hallucinations - sounds and visuals, very zombie like, nausea | M | 15 | 1 days 200 MG | 2/8/2012 | 1 | Major Depressive Disorder | Dizziness,difficulty breathing,memory loss,chills,uncontrolled muscle movements,vision changes,and paranoia. | Would never recommend it to anyone else!This drug is very addictive and can cause some major problems to the body and mental health.Heavy sleepiness and also major memory loss.Mood changes depending on how much you take or feel about the meds.Also its so strong I cant even feel emotions at times. | F | 15 | 9 years 350 2X day | 2/8/2012 | 1 | Mood Stablization | Laziness, Fatique, Sleepiness, Non-active, Increased Appetite, Loss of Awareness. | First of all, Seroquel DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. Second of all, it's giving me the side effects I mentioned. This medication has turned me into a vegetable. I wasn't as happy as I used to be. I usually refused to participate in many things. | M | 15 | 2 weeks | 7/9/2007 | 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 | 5 | sleeping problems / schizoaffective | hard to wake in the morning, some weight loss | Extremely pleased with this drug. Eased the paranoia and actually helped with the manic side effects of the Celexa that I was taking-- I stopped hallucinating at all, and was actually sleeping really well. | F | 16 | 1 years | 3/23/2005 | 5 | psychosis | extreme sleepiness, mild headaches | F | 16 | 8 months | 1/31/2005 | 5 | Bad reaction to Paxil | This medicine saved my life! I was diagnosed with major depression and panic disorder back in 1999 at age 16 and was placed on Paxil by my psychiatrist. I experienced SEVERE mood swings (euphoria and rage), hallucinations, night terrors, and blackout periods. The final straw was suicidal thoughts. My mom called the doctor and he immediately took me off the Paxil "cold turkey" and put me on Seroquel for 2 weeks while the Paxil got out of my system. It calmed my mood swings and made me tolerable to be around again. I also stopped experiencing suicidal thoughts. I am not bipolar, but this saved me when I experienced a chemical reaction very similar to bipolar disorder. | F | 16 | 14 days 60mg 1X day | 8/17/2012 | 5 | LOTS OF REASONS | Not Too sure on too medications and am happy to and extent....mostly dry mouth, needing sleep, muscle twitches, MAJOR WEIGHT GAIN, breathing is hard | good drug like i say it might be this one or the wellbrutrin but I have no more depression i think...not sure..at least dont want to die...and i am not angry anymore so thats good, although occasionly i would like to get mad to kick some bullies ass! | M | 16 | 4 years | 1/16/2006 | 5 | severe depression, anxiety disorder | i just started to gain a lot of weight, no matter what diet i did, i coulndīt lose my weight. | it really makes you sleep, and get rid of anxiety | F | 16 | 3 months | 2/4/2006 | 5 | Couldn't sleep at night/mood swings | weight gain | it works for me i now can sleep at night | F | 16 | 1 days | 4/6/2006 | 5 | oops down | oops down | 16 | 1 years | 4/6/2006 | 4 | Bipolar, OCD, BDD, Insomnia | Drowsiness, Increased Appetite | I think that this drug has helped me greatly in overcoming my BDD, and it totally levels out my moods, but I never really feel any intense emotions... It's not helping with the OCD part, if anything it's made it worse. But I no longer freak out in situations I can't control. I'm just more organized if anything. It helps with my lack of sleep, it's easy for me to get 8+ hours a night when before I started taking Seroquel I slept maybe three hours a night if that. It does take me awhile to actually get up and function in the morning when usually I'd be up and fully alert within a minute. No weight gain as I'm good at managing my weight, but I do feel hungry ALL THE TIME. But self control helps, lol. | F | 16 | 6 weeks 100mg 1X day | 6/29/2010 | 4 | Biploar/ insomnia | I believe it has contributed to my high cholesterol (almost twice what it's supposed to be) I am at my desired weight and eat pretty healthy except for the occasional burger. I'm in the process of finding something to lower the cholesterol because I can't sleep without it. | I actually discovered I was Bipolar by taking Seroquel for insomnia. When I ran out and didn't take it for several days I found myself having a manic episode which hadn't been identified before. When I take it, it controls manic episodes and helps me sleep with no groggy feeling the next morning. If I don't take it I can't sleep or wake up freaquently. I've also atributed it to very vivid dreams. | F | 16 | 5 months | 11/30/2004 | 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 | 3 | severe depression | weight gain (alot) vivid nightmares that caused severe distress sleepy during the day | I hate it. The dreams are enough to drive me crazy and the weight gain hasn't helped at all with getting over my depression and it is seriously hard to study and pass exams if you constantly want to sleep! | F | 16 | 3 months | 9/1/2009 | 3 | anxiety | It did relax me, but my reactions were severly delayed. My speech was slurred. I also got leg cramps while on the medication. | F | 16 | 2 weeks | 4/18/2007 | 3 | shizotypal | excessivly sleepy, takes a while to wake up, Im having mood swings, dry mouth, constipated, what feels like a hangover but it can go away with a couple pain killers and something to calm my stomach, trouble concentrating, short term memory troubles | Since this is only the second day while on 25 mg a night, I'm expecting these side effects to go away, I'm not getting any of the thoughts but I'm not totally convinced so far that the side effects out way the benefits of the drug. The mood swings aren't pleasant thought, I'm either not feeling anything, feeling really low, or extremely high. I'm also taking this with concerta and I think the combination is affecting my concentration. I also have very little motivation, which sucks cause I have a history with depression and at the moment its coming back. | F | 16 | 2 times | 12/8/2004 |
