User Reviews for quetiapine oral

Only 25mg of this drug completely resolved my insomnia and anxiety! I'm eating less and can actually sit still and relax. It took about 5 weeks to acclimate to the drug and for the side effects to subside.

take 50mg daily pluss lithum 250 mg twice daily after some early side effects dry mouth toilet ect in first 2 months i feel new person thise docter saved my life after years of other meds by docters but he does have me have blood tests every 3 months hope helps

My doctor prescribed this for me after I had taken 20mg of Lexapro and still felt upset now and then. She told me to take 25mg PM but it made me sleep all day long so I changed to take 12.5mg. It really made me feel more peaceful and calm, and I can go to work now. However, getting up is still difficult for me, and although I have been exercising hard and dieting, the 10kg I gained is stubborn.

Bipolar II, think in remission... Low Dosage 1x/day: 7.5mg 30 days, 15mg 30 days, 25mg 30 days then 37.5mg 30 days. Can not take it at bed time, I'm awake 3 to 5 hrs. Started taking in the morning with Lamotrigine 200mg 1x/day. Just realized this time of day will not work for me. I nod out sitting on the toilet or when I'm on my computer after the 3 to 5 hrs has passed. Will start taking with my dinner meal and see how it works. Effectiveness - wow! Disabling depression is in the past. Started to have "desire" again to get out, enjoy, do things of interest and even get more focused. Main thing is just having feelings again. Low ratings for ease of use is due to figuring out the timing of when to use this med. Thus, little bit lower satisfaction. Recommend this if you're able to handle all the drowsiness!

My throat-got-soar,my tongue came out and it was like hanging me,i stammered as side-effect.Doctor came after begging for help many hours late and gave 2-Parkin-2mgs and phenorgan Injection.Please notify me if its possible to stop the medicine and avoid side-effect.

Im going to lose my job. Im taking 25mg from last 3 days

It has done wonders for my bipolar disorder, im sleeping better, im not waking up or going to bed with anxiety anymore. I would suggest this medication to anyone suffering from bipolar disorder or any other mental illness

Started taking 200mg along with Lamectal. Within 20 minutes I was so tired I could hardly talk. I no longer had high/low but I felt like a zombie-no emotions at all, always tired and dragging, no desire to do anything. Decreased to 100mg and felt emotionally better but still had a hard time completing tasks. Here it is 7 years later with a new doctor. After learning more about the side effects I decided I had had enough. We made a plan to get off quetiapine- SLOWLY to prevent a manic/depressive episode. It took 6 months and I am totally off it. I had to retrain myself to fall asleep drug-free but I did it. I feel 100% better! My head's not foggy, I have energy, projects are actually getting completed. This does not feel like the manic highs I've experienced before. I just feel good. Like a new lease on life. Do your research and talk with your doctor before taking this drug.Read More Read Less

This medication is a God send, it totally controls my mania (I do not do depression at all but I do extreme mania with aggressive tendencies) In addition this medication aids in sleeping through the night and I still dream...however on some days there is a bit of a groggy feeling for a couple hours I would not operate heavy equipment during this time...Namaste'

My son was on Seroquel for less than a year. In June 2016 he had a stroke then two seizures. He was hospitalized and was still given this medicine. With a week after getting out of the hospital he had another stroke and two seizures. He is now in a nursing home and unable to talk, read or think straight. This medicine ruined his life.

I'm at the two-week point. And while it's still a bit painful to get out of bed, once I do I no longer feel "stoned." There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Days one through five were as follows: 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, 400 mg. Then it was a matter of getting my body acclimated to 400 mg, which I thought would never happen. If you are able to take vacation/sick days/medical leave, I do suggest it. I did not. Either way, just know it does get better within a matter of weeks.

take 1 50mg for sleep along with 1mg of Xanax. Have not had any problem having a few beers...been doing it for years.

This works for me as far as stabilizing my mood. However, I am extremely tired most of the time. For me, this medication requires that I get a minimum of 10 hours of sleep otherwise I simply can't get out of bed. I'm also thirsty frequently.

IS THIS CONTROL SUBSTANCE

Has worked very well-just don't care for the drowsy side-effects. However, without it my mania keeps me awake so I think its a fair trade.

I can't review this drug because after reading the reviews I've made a decision that I can't afford to have my father gain anymore weight so the side effects outweigh the possible positive effects. I appreciate everyone's comments they were very helpful. Please understand I am not suggesting that you not take this drug just for my father I believe it will not be in his benefits is he is already on the heavy side.

My father was given quetiapine by the family doctor. Family now believe it was used to stupify him. It stole his soul actually, and ultimately killed him when the decision was finally made to withdraw him from it. Coming off quetiapine is easier said than done. I would urge people to think twice about using this drug or administering it to loved ones.

What a terrible drug. Made my insomnia and depression worse. Had horrific nightmares and I thought about going to the E. R. Can't believe my dr. gave me this for sleep.
