Unbelievable. You know maybe the pharma people should look into the bottled water industry.
We could choose Li water, or Seroquel water.
Just open a bottle in the morning, drink up and it will cure what ails you.

G-R-E-A-T post. I had an idea about Seroquel making it into the water supply, but Stephany clearly beat me to the point. One must wonder how many of these studies are designed to show anything useful versus how many of them are designed to make neat journal article reprints with which drug reps can "educate" physicians. Of these many studies, some will not show results in Seroquel's favor, and one has to wonder if these results will ever see the light of day.

This is nauseating.

Personal trial of Seroquel as monotherapy.

It failed miserably.

Now at the 7 week mark, this is where, I, if part of an official trial would have checked myself out of the study.

Anxiety: worse.

Insomnia: returned, even on higher doses. Seems to be that the longer on it, the more I needed to get decent sleep.

Bipolar mania: increased. Suicidal ideations increased, with use of Seroquel.

Heart issues and ER visit: check the box that says YES. I have never been to an ER except for stitches. Never went to an ER thinking I was having a heart attack. This happened while on Seroquel. Anyone else suspect the Seroquel as the culprit? I do.
This stuff sucks. Anyone who said so, is right.
Wish I didn't have to find out the hard way. I can hardly wait to see how fun the withdrawal is gonna be.

I have to get back to you, but listen to this: I "graduated" to Seroquel about eight years ago.
It's "better" than Risperdal. I am a 47-year-old
with a voracious appetite for sex, but nowadays
I never seem to achieve. The medical and the
substance abuse establishment will be happy to
tell someone like me that my problem "achieving" is due to alcohol use. Better to blame that problem on spirits than blame it on cutting-edge
psychiatric drugs like Seroquel and other drugs
in that class. Anyone know how that class-action
suit against Astra is going, the one about possible carcinogenic effects in Seroquel? It's probably better for me than aspartame.

Can some people deal with alcohol and other drugs better than others? WBR LeoP

thanks for your article. i have taken seroquel for about 3 years , i started on thorazine in detox and then they put me on seroquel in rehab.. waking up at times is reminiscnent of my hangover days tho i don't credit seroquel for my sobriety. I know that they say its not habit forming but i tried to get off of it on my own and i was only taking 100mg at bedtime and i was nearly suicidal.. i went back on after about 3 weeks because i could NOT SLEEP.. I SLEPT HARDLY ANY IN THREE WEEKS. That was about 5 monthes ago. Now like the good bi-polar drug addict that i am.. i discovered i had some Thorzine in a cabinet and I have been at least for about 2 weeks taking 50mg of thorazine with 50mg of Seroquel.. i Sleep great and I feel much calmer through the day. much better than with the seroquel only... Plus AstroZeneca has some nerve for what they charge. . .. I comptley disagree on giving this drug to a small child... I am the practice manager for a well established Pediatrician and he won't he even monitor the med for a psychiatrist if the kids is not at least 12...

I have been on lithium since 1992 its basically the only medication that has leveled me with bipolar. I am now experiencing long term and short term memory loss. What happens when it gets to where i don't remember my name, do i have to be institutionalized? They warn about these things on the medication bottle but never heard of any cases please if anyone has experinced the same things please email me.
