SEROQUEL

[Phogan]

As you are all no doubt aware, I have been taking seroquel for my bipolar and sleeping. my girlfriend sent me a link to follow.

I just jumped over to Google and asked for seroquel side effects and these are the ones I could tick

Feel impulsive, irritable, agitated, hostile, aggressive, restless, hyperactive (mentally or physically), more depressed, or have thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself. bit scary hey.

I don't think I can take Seroquel anymore. I am seeing my doctor tomorrow where I'll discuss it indebth with her bit scary hey. and the cherry on the cake? ... RLS is turning up every night right on time at 7 pm. Not happy Jan. Can someone please offer me an alternative

Hi,Phogan, I have PD,have for 30 yrs..all kinds of meds have been tried,seraquel being amongst many. I chose to go to a mental Health Facility.Most regular Doctors don’t seem to have as knowledge approach?as those that specialize in all different types of pshych disorders.It took a few yrs,to find what seems to help me. I wouldn’t listen to anyone,unless they are a Medical Professional!! I found that we all have different issues,and thru Mental Health, counseling, diet,exercise,,most of all, believe in yourself! There isn’t a magic ‘anything ‘,that that will solve our individual issues!! I breathe,slowly, concentrate on mindfulness,while exhaling I let my mind let everything go..you are aware you have difficulties,that’s important.Find a professional,lots are based on income..my Mom used to say,’this too,shall pass’..I believe you have amazing strength within, you will get thru,have faith..in God,in your loved ones,find a safe place within yourself..it is there..appreciate each &every little thing,try and see the positive..baby steps, and you will find joy,happiness..again..be kind to you..smile,good luck 😊 Beccav

Hi.. I've been on seroquel for over a year and it has absolutely changed my life!! Although there is no magic cure/drug this was my first step In my ongoing recovery. I have tried do many different meds over the years and Seroquel was a game changer!! Best of luck

Thanks for that. Unfortunately my major illness is Restless legs and Seroquel drives it insane. Dr says I'm having an extremely low bipolar mood and should just ride it out. Must admit am feeling better this morning.

FYI ... LOVING the sleep. After having 0-2 hours sleep every night for 60 years, one could used to this new regime of 6-8 hours/night
