So about 2 weeks ago this doctor (not my usual doc I went to a partial program) took my off of 4 medicines in 3 days, I was on for years yes I was having issues as symptoms were worse but none the less he changed them to Lithium and Seroquel as medicine for my PTSD but the problem was serquel from the first night I felt out it couldn’t remember half the day felt light headed etc. I told doctor these symptoms daily in program he kept saying keep taking them. Long story short 2 fridays ago I’m driving and black out behind the wheel and wreck the car into a building I have no recollection of this day what so ever I nearly died and I walked to the psych hospital after I was discharged from ER at hospital. I highly recommend you do not take Seroquel it’s one scary drug.
Seroquel knocked me unconscious dropping my blood pressure. I hate Seroquel.
That’s very unfortunate. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I’ve tried seroquel too and didn’t like it. All I did all day was sit on the couch and eat.
That happened to me but I was driving and wreckd into a convince store
I love Seroquel. A good reminder that different meds affect different people in a different way.
It sounds scary what you went through. I’m glad you are ok now.
I hated seroquel also. I was a zombie 24/7.
Seroquel made my hallucinations worse, it’s the only one of my five meds they gave me in jail. I hallucinated so powerfully while I was on the inside, it was torture.
Damn. That must’ve been so freaking scary. I’m sorry that happened to you. Seroquel has been a miracle drug for me. I’m more stable on it than I have been in years.
What dose were you on? I was on it for a while and noticed nothing.
I don’t think ive ever taken this Medicine, Whats it specifically for? Some of these meds screw us up long term I think.
I’m on Seroquel and it’s been like a miracle med for me. The addition of Seroquel evened out my mood, eliminated my paranoia, and helped me to sleep soundly at night. It’s like a really good drug for me. It’s too bad so many people have had such bad luck with it.
I forget what dose it was. I know i was on 300 mg for awhile. I think i went as high as 600 mg.
Plus i was on a whole slue of other drugs which did not help.
Seroquel helped me but made me gain 90 pounds in one year. No more Seroquel for me!
I wouldn’t recommend driving if you have just taken Seroquel, if that is what you did.
I took the medicataction 12 hours before I drove.
Glad you are ok. Seroquel caused restless legs.
whats the generic for Seroquel?
me too. when the pdoc prescribed seroquel right from the start i had a terrible feeling and he just kept me on it and it was just awful. finally finally i got off of it. abilify is much much better for me.
judy
Seroquel has been a good med. for me too.
Like most Aps - they all affect people differently. I was terrible on Haldol and Stelazine. Chlorpromazine gave me a great tan in summer tho lol, unless it was co-incedence.
Seraquol - suits me. Im on just the right dosage that works for me 300mg.
I rely mostly on the Xeplion injection anyway - tablets are just a topup for me.
