I was prescribed this drug in a very low dose to help me get the sleep I need. As a business woman and parental caregiver my life is full of stress. This drug seems to allow my brain to rest at night when I go to bed to sleep.

Knocked me out everyday. Leveled out my mood somewhat, but even at a small dose disrupted my life too much to continue.

it sucks, it did not help me sleep. also I am pissed that no one told me about the weight gain. It is not a good drug if it makes you more depressed because of how fat you put on

I was put on Seroquel to help with my anxiety and my impulsive self harm. Overall, I found that the meds did help me to curb my problem, only because it knocked me out, and I was extremely lethargic and 'zombie' like through my whole therapy with this drug. I asked my psychiatrist about this, and she simply stated: "well, you can't hurt yourself if you're not awake. So, it's doing it's job".

It made me have black out periods and I barely remember at all being on it and what I did. I had to go into the mental hospital, when I did not have initial symptoms to go, before I started taking the medicine. It was a nightmare for me.

This medication was perscribed for my son 11yrs old. He would not sleep at night and had someone anxiety issues. We had to sleep with him or he would wake up. 1st night he was asleep by 10 and slept all night.All by himself in his own room and his own bed. It was great. As a parent you want your childern to get as much rest as possible for school in the am. before this medication he would not sleep until 3am and that was with someone sleeping with him. And then he would go thru the entire day without any rest.Read More Read Less
