Seroquel (quetiapine): I have noticed a decrease in BPD symptoms just days after taking this medication (25mg) - the reason why I gave it an 8 is because I can only take it at bedtime since it makes me very sleepy!

Seroquel (quetiapine): I've now been on this drug for 5 months. I haven't self harmed during this time. I have gained some weight, although in recent weeks I've been able to stop bingeing for the first time in years. I tend to wake up feeling down or agitated, so perhaps the pills aren't working for the full 24 hours. However, once I've taken the medicines I am calm again. The major downside is that I easily sleep for 14 hours straight and find it impossible to motivate myself to do anything. The days go by very quickly and I do little other then eat, sleep and watch TV. In the long term this has to be a bad thing, but for now I'm happy not to be feeling ill.

Seroquel (quetiapine): I am 12 months into taking Seroquel for BPD and I feel more settled happy and relaxed without the insane anger outbursts and days of crying I experienced with some other medications. It may not be for everybody, but for some of us, it does work and gives us our quality of life back.

Seroquel (quetiapine): I'm three weeks into taking 200mg of Seroquel along with my usual Effexor. I was prescribed it off label to help with the mood swings I get from being borderline. For the first time in years I am not full of anxiety. I sleep longer, am able to exercise in public without feeling self conscious, am eating more healthy foods, although still too much of them. The drowsiness was awful initially but has mostly disappeared now.
