#seroquel

What no one tells you about seroquel is that you’ll take it and 30 min later you feel like a bottomless pit that just wants to eat eat and eat. You can even feel your stomach being full but it does NOT stop the hunger. The only thing that stops it is when it puts you to sleep

just wanted to let anyone starting Seroquel (quetiapine) know that it is the only med I’ve tried so far out of over 12 medications that has worked for me and gotten me out of full blown mania and rapid cycling bipolar. I am on the max dose of the extended release and that works for me. You’re probably going to hear a lot of bad or scary things about the side effects of the medication and it’s important to remember those concerns but you don’t need to be afraid. It could work very well for you and there are ppl out there whose lives have been saved by this drug. I have no real side effects from the medication these days. I was very tired the first three times I took my current dose (albeit that was for the better considering I was manic and sleep deprived) and had a hand tremor for a month after they upped my dose, but after I adjusted there were no side effects. You do not need to be afraid just be aware of how it makes you feel and if it works for you all the better. Have a lovely day :D
