I have been on several anti-depressants over the past 30 years, but none made me feel like "my old self." Seroquel XR (I take 200 mg at night) has turned my life around. I no longer get so depressed that I want to hurt myself or others, and I am enjoying life more than I have in 30 years. I feel perfectly "normal" on this medication and credit it for saving my life.

This drug has changed my life. I have been taking Seroquel XR for 7 months now and I am feeling better than I have in years. I have had no side effects from this drug. I am able to get a good nights sleep without my mind reeling about what I did and didn't get accomplished in my work day and worrying about the next work day.

This drug has changed my life. I have been taking Seroquel XR for 7 months now and I am feeling better than I have in years. I have had no side effects from this drug. I am able to get a good nights sleep without my mind reeling about what I did and didn't get accomplished in my work day and worrying about the next work day. I have not had the urge to 'light' into people like I did prior to the medication and believe I am genuinally a better person. Thankfully, I have insurance that covers the medication entirely and feel for those that this medication is helping but are unable to afford the expense of it. I just can't say enough positive things about it.

I am no longer on this medication, nor will I ever be, as far as I can help it. With-in a week I was sleeping 20-23hours a day. When I was up I walked around like the living dead.
