My 16 year old daughter has been in and out of the hospital for a year and 8 months with alot of ups and downs. She was given Seroquel xr and she is like a new person. She has gained weight from it and wanted to be taken off of it, but as the doctor started taking her off of it she did not like what was happening to her and said I would rather gain weight and be stable then skinny and angry and sad all the time. 2 user(s) found this comment helpful.

For years I suffered from severe depression, doctors must have tried every different medicine of this nature in hopes to help me, however it wasn't until I was given seroquel that I began to feel better, and sleep like a baby. At first I would sleep 12 to 14 hours after taking the medicine, then I began to get used to it. I haven't had a bout of depression in 3 years. I can sleep again but now around 8 hours a night. I can honestly say I love this pill. Even with the side effects of hunger it's totally worth it. 5 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

Everyday I was very depressed or very angery for no apparant reason. It felt like my brain was all tangled and it was really hurting me, and had been for years. So I talked with my doctor, and she put me on 200mg seroquel. Since then I can think clearly and feel happy, I love it. You start at 25mg and work up to higher doses. Watch out though, if you try to start at 200mg it can knock you out for 24hrs, or at least it knocked me out. 4 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate
