User Reviews for Quetiapine

Seroquel (quetiapine): After suffering all of my life with depression and then later in life (20-33) with severe anxiety, insomnia, and a general feeling of restlessness to the point I thought I was going to "crawl the walls", I was prescribed Seroquel. I quickly found out I had to take my dose at bedtime due to being so sleepy when I took it during the day. Seroquel has been the ONLY medicine that has worked for me to ease the symptoms of my Bipolar Disorder 1. A Big Thanks to Seroquel for making life easier for me!

Seroquel (quetiapine): i recently started taking seroquel. for years I had racing thoughts, inability to sleep (sometimes as little as 3-4 hours for days), my mood was that of a ticking time bomb. My family did not know when I would have a mood swing. Worse than that, neither did I! I find that with seroquel I am able to think rationally and act appropriately. Without it, I have had a LOT of trouble with impulsive behavior that has caused an immense amount of grief and struggle for my family.

Seroquel (quetiapine): Seroquel has been very effective in clearing up my thinking. It has also helped me sleep better. I am bipolar and had a lot of irrational thinking, but Seroquel has cleared a lot of that up. I was in a terribly blue depression but Seroquel helped bring me out of that.

Seroquel (quetiapine): For many years I have been impulsive and that impulsiveness has led to a lot of serious problems in my life. (Some of which were legal) Seroquel has installed a "buffer" between the impulsive thought and the words/actions that come as a result. I am now able to fully analyze a thought process and decide whether or not to act on it. I have noticed a profound change in all areas of my life including my musical abilities. My family and I are now benefiting from a more calm, and appropriate person.

Seroquel (quetiapine): It helped me to calm my racing thoughts and get to sleep and stay asleep.

Seroquel (quetiapine): I have been on Seroquel for 4 months now. I have terrible insomnia and racing thoughts because of my bipolar disorder. This drug worked wonders for me and now I can finally sleep at night without my mind racing for hours.

Seroquel (quetiapine): I have felt 100 % better since taking Seroquel. It quiets the racing thoughts & has eliminated most of the depressive moods.Thanks

Seroquel (quetiapine): It took me down from a manic episode relatively quickly, but after the mania stopped, I just felt sedated all the time. I don't love seroquel, but it has its benefits.

Seroquel (quetiapine): Seroquel worked for me during my rapid cycling last year and really chilled me out very quickly. Only bad thing to say about it is I found the level of sedation far too much, and it left me incredibly "plastic" the next day. Was a bit like a walking zombie, although it got me through the dangerous bit. Also meant as I have great trouble sleeping it helped that side out too, so all in all was very good for me. Came off all medicines 9 months ago. Now only on zopiclone for sleeping. So hopefully no matter how good it is, wont be back on it!

Seroquel (quetiapine): My son has recently been taking just Seroguel - they took him off all his others and is doing much better. He's only 14 so he doesn't say much the family has noticed quite an improvement.

Seroquel (quetiapine): It worked very well, but it caused excessive drowsiness and also made me gain a lot of weight in a short period of time. I took it for almost a year before I switched to something else.

Seroquel (quetiapine): In the hospital, I received treatment for a significant manic episode with psychosis. I was on Geodon but it had stopped working so I switched to Seroquel. At low doses it was ineffective, however now I'm taking 600mg at night it has worked well. At this dose, after a couple of days I felt like myself again. I've noticed some drowsiness but in my experience with antipsychotics it will fade as I become acclimated to it. However, I am extremely hungry all of the time. Hopefully this will go away.

Seroquel (quetiapine): A word to the wise: A psychiatrist prescribed a small dosage of Seroquel (at bedtime) for me (25 MG) to promote sleep. After a short period of time, I noticed an overwhelming craving for sugar--pastry, candy, milkshakes, etc. During proceeding visits to my family physician, I learned that my sugar levels were rising steadily, something uncommon in my previous medical history. Eventually this rise in blood levels developed into diabetes. Once this cause and effect was established, I ceased taking Seroquel. I no longer have an insatiable appetite for sweets.

Seroquel (quetiapine): I am 53 years old and was put on this drug just over a year ago. I was diagnosed with severe bipolar disorder 13 years ago, I new something was wrong with me when I was 17 but bipolar was not really to known back then. This drug is by far the best thing I have taken ever. Don't worry about the weight gain after a year it will go away, it is a small price to pay for sanity. Everyone will get the munchies from this I eat grapes at night they do the trick have some in a bowl by your bedside this will help keep the weight gain down. Stay away from ice cream and eat yogurt with preserves in it or just fruit when you get the munchies 1 hour after taking it. I also take temazepam at night 100mg.

Seroquel (quetiapine): This medication brought me out of a long manic episode very quickly (which was a huge relief) but I couldn't bare the tiredness and lack of tolerance I had because I was so tired. I felt quite grumpy most days. The sugar cravings were wild and I lost all restraint with cakes and sweets. I guess I'm just one of the very few people it doesn't agree with.

Seroquel (quetiapine): After a year of insomnia, I can finally sleep.

Seroquel (quetiapine): She is a new and exciting person. After 60 days on Seroquel it's like having our daughter returned to us. New and improved...Happy and Engaged in Life. Thank You So Much.

Seroquel (quetiapine): I was recently perscribed Seroquel, and I can tell the difference already with my bipolar. However it made me so drowsy and lethargic that I can only take it at night. It has helped me think more clearly and has lessened my manic and depressive episodes to where I feel almost "normal" again.

Seroquel (quetiapine): I have been taking 150mg XR Seroquel for a year now. It is fantastic for knocking me out and taking all those racing thoughts and wild thinking away at night. I have very odd and random dreams but I don't mind it. The only troubles I have is that I lack all motivation to do anything. I have been doing worse in school, and my relationship has been falling apart. I just let everything slide. It seems like I just am in my own world and that I could care less for the people around me.

Seroquel (quetiapine): I use it along with other medicines to treat my severe Bipolar Disorder. It helps me sleep and keeps the "thoughts" associated with this disorder in check. I'm not constantly thinking bad, self destructive thoughts when I'm taking it. The only bad thing about it is the grogginess and the always hungry feeling.

Seroquel (quetiapine): Seroquel has helped me better than any other medicines for sleep and some of my bipolar problems. I highly recommend it.

Seroquel (quetiapine): I was diagnosed with Bipolar One about a year ago and originally took Abilify, until I realized it gave me severe anxiety. My doctor changed me to Seroquel which I take before bed. It did take a while to adjust to how sedating it was but it relieved me of my insomnia. However, I have been gaining weight steadily since beginning Seroquel with an insatiable urge to eat about an hour after I take my medication. No matter what I do to lose weight - 15 pounds gained since Seroquel - I can not lose the weight. I love the fact that it seems to work well with my body and cures my insomnia, but there's got to be something better for me that doesn't cause me to gain so much weight.

Seroquel XR (quetiapine): I have heard all kinds of bad things about Seroquel but to me this medicine has saved my life. I was diagnosed with cyclothymia with racing thoughts and extreme hypo-manic phases followed by intense depression. Not to mention I would get so paranoid sometimes that I couldn't leave the house. I had tried everything including lithium but then I went to a new doctor. She said I could try Seroquel XR but I probably wouldn't like feeling sedated. I said sedated? fine! The funny thing is that I have had more energy but it is calm positive energy. I made a huge turn around and life is back on track. I thought I had ADHD as well but now I have great concentration, no anxiety, and can sit still for hours. I highly recommend if your symptoms sound like mine.

Seroquel (quetiapine): I have been depressed most of my life. I have tried several medicines over the years, even tried not taking medicines. Racing thoughts of suicide, worthlessness, irritability, crying spells led me back to taking medicines. I started taking Seroquel about a month ago and take 25mg at night. It has helped me sleep and I have not experienced any side effects, yet. I have noticed feeling better during the day, not as many inappropriate thoughts as before, hardly any crying spells. I'm looking forward to enjoying life again, right now I take one day at a time and can make it through the workday - mostly happily.

Seroquel (quetiapine): Seroquel is extra effective for me. It really helps my sleeping, bipolar disorder, hallucinations and my ADHD. Thank you Seroquel.
