"I've been using quetiapine for 7 years now, mainly for insomnia and Tourette's syndrome. I started on 25 mgs a night. This worked great for quite some time, then as with most treatments, I had to increase the dose to 50, then 100, and sometimes 150. At times, I would still be awake five to six hours after taking this amount. The side effects I felt were extreme hunger, uncontrollable eating, increased insomnia, restless legs, and twitching in the hands and feet, irritability with extreme mood swings. I have never fallen asleep naturally since taking this med."

"Also used for paranoia, OCD, and PTSD. It definitely helps. Makes me feel sedated, so I take it at night. If I take it too late, I do get nauseous in the mornings to the point of being ill."

Quetiapine "I am trying Seroquel for Tourette's and have noticed no difference. But my general level of anxiety has decreased and my sex drive is much higher! When I first started Seroquel, my obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms became much worse, but they are now better than they were before I started taking it. I feel more in the moment during the day. Bad part: I get goofy after I take it (I have to take it at night because it knocks me out), and I am having abdominal pains every day and mild diarrhea, so I will have to stop taking it soon. I don't know if this is a side effect or not, but at night when I am lying in bed, I have started getting weird sensations in my hips, and then my legs will kick out violently. This happens every minute or so until I fall asleep."
