Seroquel Medication Review

I was prescribed Seroquel awhile back because I couldnt sleep and I am one of the unfortunate people of the world to have bipolar disorder also known as manic depression they just found a new word for it.I want get into the emaning just know it is an alternate for manic depression.This drug is an antipsychotic used to treat this and it is one of many.This one is unlike most of the rest this one is far different.These come in pill form all the way up to 800 miligrams and if you cant sleep then this is the drug of choice for you.The first time I took this I became violent and I got so mad that I threw the vacume cleaner just because I was so high and couldnt come down that it aggrivated me.This pill will make you higher than any pain killer or any street drug that you can find and  it is all thanks to science and the miracle cure.I called my doctor because no one wanted ot be around me.I was so mean and everything set me off.They called me in and upped the medication even though on a small dose it caused me to be totally enraged.Then the higher does the 300's would make me high for long,long periods of time and my heart would pound so hard that you could see it through my clothes.30 minutes after taking it,it was time to go to be for hours maybe 14 before waking up and if I didnt go when I barely felt the tiredness coming on then by the time I got upstairs to my room barely makin it I would just fall and that was it.I slept where I landed on the bed but most of the time across it.I was in such a deep sleep that I couldnt be woken up.My husband would hollar at me to wake up ,shake me and there was no response what so ever.I slept so deeply that I wouldnt even feel it if I had pee at night so after the long hours of sleep my bladder would be aching and for days from holding my urine so long.Then after I woke up for two to three hours afterwards you could not cut on the tv,talk loud or make any kind of noise or I would get so pissed off.One time my kids said I had slept walk.I had woken up came into the living room and told them to get the belt because they were getting a whipping and then I went right back to bed and didnt even remmber it.People would say I slept walke and had phone conversations that I never recalled.This stuff caused all of the nightmares that I had about people coming to kill me and the scariest part was one day I was home alone on a friday and my husband use to work half days and I drempt someone was coming to kill me so in my sleep I went into my kitchen and got a knife and when he walked through the door he seen me and yelled Jewel.I woke up and dropped the knife sticking straight up in the floor by my foor.Another time I was home asleep and I drempt the samething and I sleep walked and got a knife and went back to bed and trie to stab them in my sleep and cut myself because of course there was no one there.I am telling all of you this because this drug is extremely dangerous and it causes in some people all of these things and more.The whole time that I took this stuff I never even loked in the mirror.Each time I went back to the psychiatrist he upped the dose.They knew everything but no one would take m off it or switch it.I gaine so much weight I just looked awful.This stuff plays with your blood sugar so that in itself was a nightmare.It cause your cholesterol to go up and in some people it has even caused them to be homicidal.I went through all of this stuff to a point and then I had enough.I stopped taking it immediately,cold turkey I didn't care.I know I was not going to place mine or my families life in danger anymore and no psychologist was going to convince me otherwise.I stopped and the first night I woke up jerking and shaking.The first week I was puking like a heroin addict.I could not stand straight,I had shock sensations running all down my hans and through my finger tips and this went on for a month and did I forget to mention the pain that overwhelmed my entire body so bad I wanted to scream and the bad thing is nothing was going to help.Nothing but time for this shit to get out of my system.I starte exercising alot,drinking alot of water and I walked and walked and walked some more.When it was completely free from me  for the first time in a long time I relaized I could survive drug free and still lead a good life and i have.I have been seroquel free for over a year.I walk alot and I dotn sleep to much but I am alive and not putting my life or anyone else life at risk.Just being me has been so amazing and I do alot of reading and stuff and I find ways to keep myself in check.I want ever again take anymore mental drugs and dotn suggest it for anyone.Bipolar people are as normal as anyone else the only difference is we may be hyper like me so we have to stay busy and we dont end to sleep alot or some of us may really get depressed.They say it goes back and fourth but I have never found myself so severly depressed that I wanted to end it.My husband got his wife back and my kids got their mother back and all of us could not be happier.If your thinking about using this drug think again.This stuff will make you sleep but it has alot of bad side effects and it is not for anyone and in my book no one.You have to make that decison for yourself but I am telling you this shit is bad and I have never known anyone that has taken it and i have known a few people that have that has not had the same side effects in one way or another so just beware.One other thing if tou want to keep your pancrease then say no because this stuff will destrot it causing diabetes and God knows what all else.Why should people pay to be ok.I am ok and I dont take nothing.
