I have been prescribed 12.5 mg of seroquel for ptsd, anxiety and depression. I also take sertraline...150 mgs. Can I hear from others who have taken this? Thanks.
I've taken it also for anxiety-depression, but at a higher dose 300mg. My experience with it well, turns out it didn't really improve anything for me, but maybe for you. It can make you extremely tired!!! I took mine at night. It can give you insane hunger!! Weight gain yes. I liked it because its a great sleep aid! Lol. If you decide to get off of it, be very careful and ween off slowly with your doctors instructions! The Withdrawl of it is not a nice experience ! Good Luck 😊
The weight gain is automatic because it changes the bodies metabolism, slowing it down. The food cravings start in the beginning, but ease off a little while on it.
Yes. Unfortunately. It's a strong drug. Used also to treat bipolar,schizophrenia ,depression, anxiety. Some other antidepressants, anxiety can also affect metabolism, but seroquel has a bigger impact.
