Seroquel

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 😊

Thank you. Is the weight gain automatic or just from not eating right and exercising.

[UFC80 in reply to Hidden]

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.

Is the weight gain really automatic? That’s frightening...

[UFC80 in reply to Hidden]

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.

Well if it stops the thoughts in my head it will be worth the extra weight.

It worked for my bipolar depression when I was rock bottom but I gained 25 lbs on it that I'm still trying to shake off.

How many mgs were you on? If it was helping you, why did you come off of it? Are you taking something else?
