This a photo of the collection of Seroquel boxes I have gotten over the past year. Most of them are empty. I have tried taking this medication every way possible. Including once a day, twice a day and three times a day. Unfortunately it tortures me. And big weight gain. @anon35166066 @zeno @anon9798425

Nice collection man. I save all my cigarette packages to know how much I smoke. P. S. I think I have the same TV.

Try something else. I did poorly on risperdal. Gained weight. Had poverty of thought and generally a rough time.
Got on zyprexa and never looked back. Till I tried abilify to lose some weight …lost a few years on that frustrating experiment but back on zyprexa and looking good!
I don’t mess with shite now!
Seriously. We are all different and a varying your med can be beneficial!

Yes I made another post about it. I am going the doctors next week to change it to Clopixol injection which I was on for over two years in the past.

And why did you switch?

Basically it was because I was on a community treatment order for two years and was forced to get the injection. So I wanted to try something else when the CTO ended, because the Clopixol is all I had ever taken. I didn’t stop Clopixol because of side effects. Is that a good enough explanation for you?

I also keep one box of every med I have been on. Just one box.

I take the extended release seroquel, and I gain and then I lose. It made me really tired at first, which was good at night. During the day I had little energy, until 2 weeks ago. Now I can’t fall asleep easily, and voices are back torturing me. Sleep is crappy. Getting depressed. I switched from regular seroquel because I kept waking up with breathing issue like gasping for air. That went away, but things getting worse again. Waking up in panic again in morning and voices keeping me up until 4am. I see dr aug 3rd, trying to just wait and see if it gets better. I may try a little regular seroquel at night to see if it helps. I have some left. I just don’t want that stupid breathing issue to come back, freaks me out!
i have a nice collection of different dosage risperidone bottles, cogentin bottles, wellbutrin bottles, and an invega bottle. all that and I’m finally stable
Seroquel tried to kill me.
what is “poverty of thought”? i could look it up online, but i’d rather connect with a hooman.
zyprexa, for me, did a lot of good for me back in 1999/2000, but i cannot remember the other meds i was being prescribed, and my brain chemistry was different back then. every time i try to get back on it, i just cannot deal with the drowsiness it causes, and all i want to do is eat all the time that i’m not sleeping.
those two years though, i was the happiest i’ve ever been in my life. i found the love of my life (took me 11 years to forget about her), i was able to hold two jobs, i got employee of the month twice in the same year, i was respectful toward others, i felt close to my Faith, and my family was not scared for me at any point.
I love seroquel and wish I could still take it, but it makes me panicky
Can you explain what you mean by panicky? Did it give a feeling of panic soon after you would take the tablet? I wish to continue Seroquel. I made a another post about it.
More like a swallowing issue, which made me panicky.
Yeah it has made it difficult for me to swallow food in the past in the couple of hours after I took it. I think it is a pretty common side effect. I don’t get that anymore now that I have been taking it for a long time.
