Seroquel/quetiapine side effects?

I am considering switching to seroquel to Reduce side effects. Have you noticed any with this one? Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!

Particularly: sexual dysfunction and hunger issues? Thanks

I take 600 mg/day, and I haven’t noticed any sexual dysfunction. Not sure about hunger.

Seroquel works really well for some people on this forum,

I was not one of those people.

I gained about 70 lbs on seroquel and felt like a zombie the whole time.

Medications work differently for each individual, so I can’t say that would happen to you,

It may work great.

Very true. I am on risperidone and I gained 40 pounds but I ended up losing it. I feel like a zombie as it is. I also have sexual dysfunction. I’ve heard good things about seroquel. That’s unfortunate about your reaction to it. I hope you found something that works for you!

Seroquel didn’t work for me. I went bananas on it. It nearly killed me.

Meds are just personal trial and error.
