I used to take latuda and then seroquel as a prn type thing for a sleep aid but I haven’t been able to handle the side effects of latuda so my doc switched me to straight seroquel. Who’s on this? Is it good or bad? I keep hearing good things about how it helps anxiety and depression very well
Sorry this should be in medications
It does treat depression very well. When I was on seroquel I had no need for an anti depressant. When I switched over to paliperidone I had to go onto an anti depressant.
Seroquel XR stabilizes my mood by stopping hypomania and it also helps with the voices. It is helping me sleep also but it stopped working for sleep the last time I was on it though.
You will probably put on weight

I personally hated seroquel, but it works differently for everyone.
I hated the weight gain and being a zombie.
It made me fat and sleepy.

The extended release doesn’t make me as much of a zombie as the regular Seroquel. See if your pdoc will give you the XR.
I get super hungry on Seroquel also it puts me to sleep in a coma like state lol I take trazodone now
How bad is the sleepiness and zombieness, even at low doses?
Seroquel is my wonder drug. Sleepiness is a very small price to pay for your sanity. Good luck, hope it works well for you.

Ive had it 2 times. I see it as “a mild AP” compared to zyprexa and risperdal, it didnt help for me though. Second time i got it for sleep, didnt help.
