I was told over 10 years ago I was Bipolar, a form of depression that can has extreme highs and lows and mood swings.  I have Bipolar with hallucinations.  I have been on a number of different medications thorough out the years and most worked for some symtoms and not much for others and having to deal with all the risky side effects.  A few years ago I was in the middle of a manic episode that left me not really knowing what I was doing or even remembering what I had done.  I become  so desperate for the hallucinations to stop I took another medications with out being able to remember that...

I have been on Seroquel, which is an anti-pschotic used for many things other than schizophrenia, for about ten years now.  Initially I was put on a low dose of this medication to help with my anxiety, which worked relitively well.  After a few years, my doctor increased my dosage to 400 mgs a day to help with my bipolar and my borderline personality disorders.  Seroquel has done so much for me.  It helps me sleep well at night.  It has helped control my mania from the bipolar disoder.  And it has also assisted in helping me stop my self-distructive behaviors, such as cutting.  After becoming...

Seroquel is a drug typically given to schizophrenics or patients who are mentally ill; however, in lower doses it can be effective for people without a mental illness. I am in this category. I do not have schizophrenia, but I take Seroquel daily. My perscription is 25mg, and I take 3 pills (75mg) every night prior to bedtime. I always knewthis medication was something I needed, but I wasn't quite sure why. In fact, I always felt embarassement when people found out I needed the drug. A couple of weeks ago I finally aked one of my dctors (I have Brain Cancer so I have several different doctors that...

the product that i am going to review is going to be the product as known as seroqul. given by the psych doctors all over the world. this pill varies in milligrams but the affect is the same. i was on this for quite some time and i had many muscle spasms and toe cramps cravings in mid mornings and if the dose was to high i would just dose right off. slurred speech and cotton mouth is to be expected with this product but the most negative thing this pill has to offer is the fact that you gain alot of weight taking it. i guess here are some of the side affects that i experienced. jimmy legs, is where...

I have been taking Seroquel for 5 years now.  I started out taking 25 mg three times a day and now five years later I take 200 mg once every night.  I used to lay awake at night unable to stop thinking long enough to relax and go to sleep.  It was the most horrible feeling.  Seroquel was the answer to my racing thoughts.  Not being able to sleep has to be one of the worst feelings I have ever had.  I had insurance when I started taking it so everything was great.  Then I had a rude awakening.   I lost my insujrance and when I went to pick up my rx it was like 700.00.  I couldn't belive...

I have been taking Seroquel since 1997 when i was first diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder.  Consequently, I have experienced most of the side effects of this medication.  I was never told about these side effects until I spoke with my doctor after seeing a commercial relating all the negative, dangerous side effects.

Then I began researching Seroquel and found the FDA reported side effects website.  As read the very long list of reports, I kept finding things I had gone through and never knew why.  Suddenly. I had some answers.

That was 3 years ago and I'm finally being weaned off the drug...

After being on the medication round-a-bout, I finally discovered Seroquel! I've had sleeping problems for the last 7-8 years, tried everything out there. It's complicated, because I am in recovery from addiction and alcoholism, and regardless of what the company claims, most sleep aids ARE addictive. Seroquel is a great med for people in recovery, that need a sleep aid. It doesn't start cravings, it doesn't make you feel "high", and your tolerance level doesn't increase dramatically over time. I've been at the same dose (150mg pm) for over a year now, no increase! It has an added benefit of being...

I was on seroquel for about a year for "bi polar disorder" later re-diagnosed as "schizophrenia" later rediagnosed for "schizoaffective" I have been on a lot of medication for things like this and so far seroquel is the only thing that has been successful. Given individual results are totally different- i had no problem with weight gain or any other side effects EXCEPT sleepyness. it is IMPOSSIBLE to wake up, you're tired all day, and eventually i went off of it because i couldnt stay awake in order to enjoy my life without the affects of my disorder. so what was the point?  Dont get me wrong-when...
