The following Patient Discussions have not been medically reviewed. See additional information.
It works well for sleeping. I tend to get manic and unable to sleep. The lower dose is the best. It's important to stay on it even though the first few days are a bit rough meaning "grogginess." Published: June 12, 2008 ::
I have borderline personality disorder with high anxiety and some dissociative problems. I take a 300 mg dosage at night and it eases my anxiety and helps me sleep. Published: October 25, 2007 ::
I have been taking Seroquel for about a year. 400mg at bedtime. My doctor recently added Seroquel XL (300 mg) to my reqular Seroquel dose. Although Seroquel has been the best anti-depressant for me so far, I find myself stuttering. Has anyone else experienced this as a side-effect? Published: August 25, 2008 ::
I use seroquel at night (300) mg and it helps me to sleep and to feel less anxiety in the morning hours. It is a possibly dangerous drug to take and I had to have cataract surgery which, I believe, caused the condition. Also weight gain is definately an issue. But, weighing in the odds, I think I would choose Serouel time release as a good treatment for bipolar symptoms in general. Published: February 04, 2008 ::
Since taking this, my blood pressure has raised, my blood sugars raised, and I itch all over. Published: November 16, 2007 ::
I am diagnosed with Major Depression, General Anxiety Disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and ADHD. Seroquel has helped to relieve anxiety and depression for me; this med has also helped me to focus more clearly. Published: March 03, 2009 ::
I have been taking Seroquel for almost a year now, I'm 17 years old and have been diagnosed with bipolar depression. When I began taking Seroquel I weighed 98 lbs now I'm at 121. I take it at night therefore I sleep well but towards that end of the next day my ankles and knees begin to hurt quite severly. Published: February 17, 2009 ::
I have been on a lot of different meds since childhood this drug is the one i have been consistent with and it really helps with irritability and anxiety. Weight gain is a big side affect and some aches and pains(in the legs). Published: January 27, 2009 ::
my doctor prescribed this medication for chronic insomnia it is the only thing that has worked well for me. Published: June 09, 2008 ::
Have ben on small dose for 2 weeks at night for depression and anxiety. seemed to help get me motivated but have noticed unexplained flushing, legs going numb and heart palpitions at different times especially when I tried to increase dosage as DR recommended. Don't feel quite right. Published: March 28, 2009 ::
I was diagnosed with bipolar 1, mixed, about 6 years ago. Up until about 6 months ago I could not find the right medication that made me feel like myself again. I can finally sleep through the night and have much more focus with school and confidence> Published: March 05, 2009 ::
