Anyone who has taken th drug Seroquel??
Question:
Answers:
I love Seroquel. I am Bipolar and I take it for mania and to help calm my head and sleep. It has been the best medication for calming myself down.
I did gain weight (but I take other meds too so it is probably all of them). And Seroquel is also known to alter blood sugar. Scientists are not sure if it is because people gain weight and the blood sugar changes or if because Seroquel is the real cause of the blood sugar changes.
Also, I take it at night. If I take it real late, I am kind of drowzy the next day. I need to take it early in the evening, like at 7:00 PM.
It is very stong, but has worked wonders for me.
I have taken it, but I don't remember how I felt. Just don't drive or do anything that could be dangerous. Take it when you can relax at home until you have taken it for a few days or weeks. Don't drink alcohol with it. It should help you not be as nervous once it is in your system.
I hated Seroquel. I was on 300 mg a day for bipolar depression. It did not help; it did, however, make me gain weight and sleep eighteen hours a day. I could not function on it.
what are you taking it for? When you first take it you will feel as if you have been hit by a bus. But the sedation effect of the medication wears off over a few hours and you will adjust to it over several weeks. best of luck
I took it for a while and it was supposed to calm your mind down. It actually made me feel like I wanted to sleep all the time. I was wondering how anyone can live a productive life and carreer while taking this. It was discontinued and I was put on celexa. I have heard that it does work for some people very well though. You just have to find the right medication for you through trials.
