User Reviews for quetiapine oral

my shrink put me on 300mg of this meds i have felt my schizo is better under control since being on this meds dont be worried they do work

DEVELOPED TROUBLE SOME SLEEPINESS,DIFFICULTY TO FOCUS EYES

I have been using quetiapine 200mg (seroquel) for 7 months now, and I feel alot better about myself, the days are alot less stressful. I take 200mg before bed time, I sleep like a rock, and I wake up feeling refreshed. Thank god for the VA and this medicine.

HELPS TO TO TO SLEEP FASTER BUT STILL FEEL DEPRESSED. IM ONLY ON 50MG AT NIGHT AND JUSTED TAKING IT 4 DAYS AGO.

I been taking this for about 2 weeks. 2 times i had to lay down. I felt like passing out plus my ears started ringing. The other thing i don't like is when i use to take Remeron, i couldn't keep my legs still. Later i was watching tv and i was kinda "shocked". It's called "Restless Leg Syndrome" or something like that. I just feel i have to move my legs. It's a strange feeling that i can't keep my legs still. This is when i start getting drowsy/tired on the meds. In the morning and the rest of the time, im ok. Read More Read Less

Sometimes I think it is effective, then their are days, I know it isnt as effective with the symptoms. Im only taking 50mg at this time thought, my doc wants to bump me up to 100mg.

over the last 5years i have gained 150lbs.i took myself off of seroquel for 1month and lost 24lbs.think twice be4 taking this drug.the side effects may not be worth it.

Read til happy ending: The first 3 weeks on Seroquel was a roller-coaster nightmare with severe leg twitches, increase in irritability one day then worst depression the next, with an increase in suicidal thoughts too. Sleep was heavy. But then there was a good day here and there. After 4 weeks, every day was a successful, functioning day with a more positive outlook from the deep depression. I take 150mg at 6pm and began Pristiq 50mg (changed from Lexapro) at 6am in morning. Six weeks in now and I feel like myself and have only experienced light moments of sadness. I'm amazed how much has changed and how fortunate I feel as a result of the meds.Read More Read Less

If it weren't for seroquil I would NOT sleep at all! It usually keeps me on an even "keel" in the am.

think its ineffective

Im using this drug to help with my ptsd and the night terrors it is causing. ive been back from iraq for 3 months using it for to and ive never slept better. i sometime get the groginess i hear about so much but i havent gained any weight. the extra sleep im getting is making me more will to go on those longer runs and has helped my mood

While on Seroquel I experienced significant weight gain of over 100 pounds. I also experienced significant memory loss consisting of loss of memory of more than 2 years. I had groginess, and was disoriented.

Been on it for 6mnth now, i take 200mg. I have put on 2 stone in 6mnths, i am sleeping better but no change during the day

The combination of Seroquel and Celxa is the first that have made any real difference in the 18 years that have been receiving treatment for Bipolar Disorder. The Seroquel has also helped me sleep without the daytime sleepiness that Trazadone caused me.

Very good treatment antidepressant and sleep disorder, this medication help me a lot in my mental disorder and.schizophria. I take 300 mg.

I used to sleep 4-5 hours a night and feel fine- but then i'd crash. Seroquel helps me get my full 7 hours of sleep, which probably helps with keeping me more calm in the morning. I don't like that I'm not as energetic- but then again that may just be the mania that i like feeling. i hear some people gain weight- I'm one of the few% that lost like 10 lbs. Maybe with more sleep i just eat less. I hear there's a class action lawsuit against this rx. People claim that they should have told them it increases risk of diabetes. Most of the bipolar meds do. I'm considering to stop taking this rx because I want it out of my system before my husband and I try for a baby. My condition is more mild so hopefully things will be ok without the rx.Read More Read Less

I have borderline personlity disorder. I have been on this medication for two months now and have gained 15 pounds. I can be exhausted in the morning if I don't get 10-11 hours of sleep. I sometimes feel twichy and am going to talk to my doctor to get myself taken off the medications. It does a great job of keeping me from having angry outburst and extreme frustration. If you don't have the weight gain and can adjust your life for the sleep it works amazingly well.

In addition to bipolar, I am diabetic. I have gained 60 pounds, not a good thing. Also, I have sever neuropathy in my feet and legs. Quetiapine makes the pain in my feet much worse when I go to bed at night. Once I am asleep I am okay and I do not feel especially bad in the mornings. I am not sure I am better off with this mediaction.
