Hello Everyone. Has anyone else experienced high Glucose and Cholesterol with the medication Seroquel (Quetiapine) at a 300mg dose daily? I have Bi-Polar and take 40mg Paxil and 900mg of Lithium carbonate as well as Thyroid (Thyroxine) at 0.225mg (thyroid is stable as are All other meds for Bi-Polar). I understand that any of these meds can raise cholesterol and glucose levels, however I was wondering if Any of You have heard about Seroquel (Quetiapine) having any advanced effect upon these blood levels? Thank-You for reading and considering this. I appreciate any replies.

YES....per the following website: "Common Seroquel side effects include dry mouth, dizziness, high triglycerides (determined by a blood test), and headaches. While side effects, if they occur, are typically minor and easily treated, some problems may require immediate medical attention. These side effects of Seroquel that should be reported to a healthcare provider right away include abnormal muscle movements, SIGNS of DIABETES, and rapid weight gain.."
