Previously I had been treated with very limited success with: Lithium, Depacote, Triliptal, Risperdal, Lamictal, zoloft, Wellbutrin, Abilify, clonsepam, zypreza etc. My exsistance was unbearable. I went to a clinic and was taken off all the above. I spent three weeks rapid cycling with psychotic features and devestating depressions and suicidality. Within a week of starting Seroquel my sympto...

Start with 50 for 4 days and 100 6 days and slow increases. Go very slow. If you can not Get out of bed reduce a little. I stopped using doctors for mental health 30 years ago. At 71 I feel very good.

Took it for 3 weeks. Gained 15 lbs and aside from being sleepy, it did not help my anxiety at all.

This drug worked decent for about a year, but then for some reason just kind of fizzled out. It also gave me maddening RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome), which kept me awake most of the night, leaving me excruciatingly tired and stressed out every morning.

I have been on this medication for just over 1 month. It has reduced my feeling of paranoia a great deal. The arguing between the voices in my head has begun to get less and less. The voices are fading. They are now longer dominate.

I've been on this for 5 days now and all I want to do is sleep. Have a difficult time getting out of bed in the morning. I don't feel depressed but I'm still agitated with everything. I feel like I'm in a fog and cant think clearly. I started out with 50mg until last night and now I'm on 100mg. Still feel groggy and I've noticed that I can't talk without stumbling. I think I'm going to call my doctor and request a different drug. I just don't feel right on this. Have a dry mouth and throat, tired, head fog, agitated feeling, dizzy and just overall not feeling well. In the past the drugs that worked the best didn't make me feel like this at all. They worked great from the start but eventually stopped working which is why I'm on this one. Need a replacement. Read More Read Less

I have borderline personality disorder with complex ptsd, depression & gad. A couple of years ago I started taking this in addition to venaflaxine & it’s had a massive positive on my mood & anxiety. I feel so much calmer & can think more clearly, I don’t kno what I’d do without it now

I was put on this for non-bipolar depression. It made me very angry, full of rage, and plain mean beyond irritable. This was not environmentally induced, for I seldom interacted with others because of the extent of my depression.

Doctor originally ordered 100 mg. That was too strong for me. Now using 50 mg and find the effect is soothing. I don't notice many side effects. I take several meds so I often have dry mouth.

I suffer from severe insomnia and I have found that Quetiapine has helped immensely. The drug has helped me to reset my sleeping pattern and since I began taking it 3 months ago, I have noticed big improvements. Overall, I have found it very helpful and easy to take.

I thought I'd post my review on this drug as it has its benefits but for me, the negatives have far outweighed them, I'm not slowly coming off the tablets and have gone from 200mg to 25mg and should be off them totally in a month or two. I was prescribed these in May 2018 after a difficult time and they helped me for the first couple of months, however, the past few months I've been unable to wake up, I never feel rested and I have zero energy, this is a drastic change for me as I was previously a gym bunny eating a clean, high calorie diet. I was taking this alongside, Pregabalin 200mg (now stopped) and Citalopram 40mg (now 30mg). My review is just to share my experience and to see if anyone else shares the same side effects as it's had a massive impact on my lifestyle both inside and outside of work. Hopefully my GP can find something more suited.Read More Read Less

I was given the generic pill white round with F75 imprint and did nothing like the others. The generic F75 is useless as a placebo. No effect at all

Depression/ Anxiety, crying, mood swings that stayed in the no happiness range. I had been through too many horrible experienced and this year 5 more. The quietiapine has helped and been a relief. The dosage of 25 mg not enough. I find out tomorrow if this is refilled.

50 mg tabs caused weight gain, comatose feelings, dreams. I quit. Then I took one pill when I was desperate. Same feeling. I won't take anymore.

I've been on this medication for 1-1/2yrs. At first it was awesome, my moods stabilized almost immediately;about 6 mo. ago I started gaining weight, feeling listless, too much sleep and most recently more ups and downs. my dr. keeps telling me this is normal and I should just go on a diet and start exercing to keep my weight down; almost impossible when you just can't find the ambision to do so; I also have high blood pressure and high cholesterol since taking it so now i'm on med's for that too...my moods are starting to become more down than up so the dr. told me to go see a therapist. I've been seeing therapists for 5 yrs. now and they are all the same; not interested in going back to one; i'll just live with this and hope for the bestRead More Read Less
