"For my bipolar major depressive disorder, I gave 9*** only because I couldn't do 9-1/2***. My only problem is I get leg cramps, could be because I'm not doing enough exercise. Other than that, I'm not 'stuck' on the same 'situations.' I'm able to get sleep, and I have an appetite."

"Was heavily suicidal with a high amount of delusions, hallucinations, and very bad depression and anxiety for years. This medication is very helpful and has made me get out of bed for every extra thing. I am happy doing social things and these emotions come naturally. It can also be taken with Focalin, which helps with my ADHD and probably depression too. I highly recommend this medication. I experienced a couple of pounds of weight gain, but it was easily managed with diet and exercise. I also experienced some shakiness that went away, and I felt a little bit like a zombie or tired depending on the dose."

Quetiapine "Does not improve my quality of life. Depression continued and developed major cognitive dysfunction. I could not even communicate what was happening to me or for any wants or needs."

"I have taken this for the past two years, and it has helped greatly, but it has a bad effect with the drug diazepam. If I take them too close together, it causes regular sleep paralysis."

Quetiapine "This was the absolute worst medication I have ever taken. What a nightmare!! To begin with, I was taking Duloxetine 60 mg 1x a day, Wellbutrin XL 300 mg 1x a day, Valium 10 mg 3x a day, morphine 30 mg 2x a day, and oxycodone 20 mg 4x a day. I was doing just fine, or so I thought. I had a change of doctors due to the fact that my doctor left this practice. Not sure the reason for this medication. Never again!! After starting that medication, once it really got in my system, my worst fear came to reality. I totally went outside my mind to the point my daughter was so scared of my behavior she called the EMS. Upon arrival at the ER, after blood work, I was told I was overly medicated. Never, never again!!! Awful!!"
