i've been taking seroquel for nearly two yrs, it has changed me so much physically. not just the weight gain (6stones), lethargy, confusion, bad memory to mention but a few...
Anyone got any advice?
thanks
I would speak to your doctor about this and see if they can either adjust the dose or change you to another anti-psychotic. Seroquel can cause these side effects - weight gain and sedation are very common side effects. With all medication if the side effects are bothering you then you should speak to the doctor who prescribed the medication and see what your options are. There is bound to be something else that they can try you on which might be more suited to you.
oh man if you have managed to stay on it that long you are doing better than me thats for sure, I took it one time right before going to bed....I woke up the next morning in totally different clothes than I wore to bed and had a great big bruise across my forehead! needless to say my Doc took me off, now I just take ativan
Yeah, all of those are fairly common side effects of this medication. That's why I avoid all psychotropic drugs. The risks are far worse than the supposed diseases they are intended to treat.
It also increases the risk of suicidal ideation.
My advice? Stop the drug. Use something else if you must, but if your sie effects are bothersome, stop the drug.
Try researching natural ways to cure depression. They won't have any side effects.
