Seroquel Medication Review Summary

Mood enhancing drugs have their place and Seroquel is one drug that has helped many people cope with their emotional ups and downs. Reviewers point out that Seroquel is useful for sufferers of depression, bipolar, and general anxiety. It is also good for those who suffer from insomnia and need something to help them get to sleep. Seroquel is “Effective for Mania and Helps You Sleep” in the mind of one reviewer but others point out that Seroquel is far from harmless, like one consumer who states that this product is a “Horrible Drug- Caused My Diabetes”. With differences of opinion and outcomes this varied, consumers need to be careful with Seroquel and follow their doctor’s advice. It is a good Prescription Medication, but it has not worked out well for all reviewers.

horrible drug, caused my diabetes

MAR

This drug caused my Type 2 diabetes. It did this because one of the side effects is weight gain. The weight gain from this med made me gain over 50 lbs. even though I had watched what I ate. I had taken this med in 2003, and started off at 25mg. I gained a little weight, but lost it. Then when my Doctor... review »

The dosage can make a difference in taking this medication.

anxiety sufferer, have panic disorder, a worrier, not able to turn my brain off, depressed

If the dosage is to high you will sleep allot. Yet, if taken correctly it can be a great tool for getting a good night sleep. You can wake up feeling refreshed from a good night sleep. I have found this out only by having the doctor mess around with the dosage level I was taking.

Effective For Mania and Helps to Sleep

anxiety sufferer

APR

2008

I have been using Seroquel for about 4 months now to help a mild bipolar problem that my doctor thinks I am suffering from. The med does help prvent highs and lows in behavoir and emotion, and with an increased dose at night allows me a deep and sound sleep. There are several side effects associated with this drug. Feeling a bit groggy the first 30 minutes or so upon waking, dry mouth at times, and heart burn are some of them. Another strange effect is that it seems to make my feet sensitive shortly after ingestion. Not a tingling or pain, but just very sensitive to pressure. This drug is effective... review »

Finally something to help

depressed, have bi-polar, have ADHD, Mother of 5, anxiety sufferer

NOV

2007

My doctor put me on Seroquel to help with the constant Mood Swings and Depression from the Bi-polar. We have had to increase the dose twice, but now I finally seem to be doing better with the mood swings (at least for right now). My husband has noticed alot of improvement and with 5 kids at home I can't afford to have constant mood swings.

Seroquel is a great drug. It is classified as an atypical antipsychotic. Its used for several different reasons. It is very helpful in the treatment of Bipolar Disorder. It helps with the depression often associated with Bipolar Disorder and also works as a mood stabilizer. On top of that, It is also useful in treating anxiety and its sometimes perscribed as a sleep aid. I have Bipolar Disorder and I have problems with anxiety and trouble sleeping. Seroquel has helped me tremendously. Seroquel has helped me with my 3 big problems. ......I sleep better, I am less anxious, I am happier... review »

It works for me,especially if you need help sleeping.

anxiety sufferer, Bi-polar

I have taken seroquel for many years now for bi-polar disorder and anxiety as well.I find that for my anxiety it doesn't work as well as it does for my Bi-polar but all in all it is a good medication,and also helps insomnia sufferers.Be advised though it does have the potency to knock you out with in a half hour even in low dosages.It also helps you stay asleep without the grogginess of most sleep aids.
