I was put on 1200mg of quetiapine at the age of 15 and now when I`m 23, my bipolar diagnose was taken away and it seems that I was diagnosed wrong and suffered terrible side effects from the very beginning but gladly that hell is slowly going away cause now I`m decreasing my dose, right now I`m at 600mg and feeling great and first time in almost 10 years I feel more like myself. Update: down to 400mg now

Thank you. Currently I take 300mg XR and 125mg IR at night. I have so many side effects but I deal with them because I'm not psychotic or suicidal and I'm functional.

I have been on and off of seroquel for decades. I have bipolar 2 disorder, hypothyroidism, complex PTSD, essential tremors, heart palpitations and freaking menopausal symptoms. It’s the only drug that works for me. Several years ago my menopausal state made me an interminable insomniac. I was sleep deprived for 5 nights in a row. Lemme tell ya, it was like POW camp torturing. They blast heavy metal music 24/7 until the prisoner confesses everything. You will do anything by day 5 to get some zzz’s. My mind turned against me and I went on a trip all over the United States. I had a voice in my head compelling me to hit the road. It also told me that I was going to die soon. I did become suicidal. I truly believed the horror unfolding in my mind. And acted accordingly. I went from psych hospital to psych hospital. They even tried electric shock therapy. Didn’t work. Lithium didn’t work. Risperidone nor Olanzapine worked. It takes years to hit upon the right cocktail of meds. At 60 I’m finally properly medicated. And, for the most part I’m med compliant. I do take extra seroquel when needed. But I have the luxury of having an extra dose daily of 150mg. I take 400mg at night. I also take mirtazapine, lamictal, klonipin, propranolol, levothyroxine and estradiol. I’m an endocrinological nightmare. Hormones killed me and seroquel revived me.

Thank you for the video…..I was on quitepine for at least 10 years My dose was increased and decreased ….,I still had psychosis but not as often. My main concern was weight gain I put on 140 pound……my blood pressure was dangerously high Which caused me to have chronic kidney disease stage 3!! It wasn’t until I had to go into hospital,they did the usual checks. Long story short they would not let me leave the hospital as my BP was so high The nurse was rang my GP asking why my BP hadn’t been checked etc I had a new mental health consultant he changed the quitepine and it took me 4 years too lose 100 pound My kidneys have been stable and so has my BP😊

I started lactating and lost my period and was incredibly itchy. It turned out that the tiny dose I took for sleep gave me a pituitary gland tumour that gave me menopause at 30, the endocrinologist said I had the hormones of an 80 year old. I had to take Dostinex to shrink the tumour and spent every weekend in bed throwing up from it. The first time I took seroquel I fainted in the shower, I was 22 and I phoned the doctor saying I don’t want to take this stuff. She told me I had to so I did what she said. She also put me on Effexor 150 and that eventually gave me seizures. Then Lexapro and that gave me seizures too. I now take a tiny dose of CBD and feel great and I sleep

I take 50mg quetiapine at night. I just started taking it two days ago from coming off of 400mg of Abilify which gave me unbearable side effects. Due to me being a mail carrier with bipolar type 1 , I find quetiapine with a 50 mg dosage bearable thus far. I do feel the changes in my mood when I’m upset as a numb feeling which it’s okay. I’m not dreadful when I wake up as they say it could be but I’m guessing it depends on the dosage. I’m my opinion, dosage matter and the only reason I was having psychosis due to marijuana Usage in the past and it comes every 2 years. So I’m testing out sobriety for my own sake with a plant base diet and staying active . I feel so much better knowing that I can talk with my doctor about my health issues and benefits so we can determine what’s best for me. Be transparent about side effects, I can’t imagine being on multiple medications and living years with side effects, that’s how people give up 😢. Everyone be safe on their mental health journey

Oh wow I'm watching much more videos from this channel. This is very well done! I keep getting recommended seroquel videos after googling it. I've tried to look up medications before. But this video was very uniquely informative. Really really excellent, more thorough than any videos I've seen of this type. I took seroquel for a month and went off instead of refilling. Felt like I drank 3 drinks before bed, then hungover the next day - the hypnotic state. After a few weeks I felt it didn't put me to sleep as well so I stopped rather than increasing it. After making others changes too.

Invaluable for me for mood stabilising...I have found it treats my c-ptsd as well as Bipolar 2. Many of my friends have found it very good for C-PTSD alone. Some issues with dissociation at lower doses in the beginning and can trigger body based flashbacks as feeling hypnotic can trigger that so for folks with DID they need to be aware and monitored while building a new normal feeling in the body, and as it makes you sleepy it can make DID folks want to avoid sleep or taking meds as systems that have heavy nocturnal switching will be affected by changes to that routine but once tolerated helped immensely especially due to its versatility and not having to be on med Mary go round with new symptoms that pop up. Personally find it helps reduce orafractory and visual flashbacks that have an element of hallucination to them which can be confused with psychosis to the untrained eye and because of this its worth being under the supervision of a psychiatrist rather than a GP for maintenance for those who suffer hallucination flashbacks to avoid being on an unnecessarily high dose.

I'm on 100mg. It made my hands shaky at first, but that went away after a day. The other big thing I noticed is that I got a reasonable attention span back and could concentrate again, which was amazing and later on I noticed that I slept well every night, which with mental illness was not normal. I haven't had issues with weight gain, emotionality I'm a bit blunted and weirdly I stopped writing my diary as much or in as much detail as I have for years when I was in hospital, which was when I was put on quetiapine, but I'm was also put on venlafaxine around the same time. I now can't sleep without the quetiapine.

I take it for anxiety and it does mean I don't go experience any insomnia. But the downside is I need it to to sleep. If I don't take it I can't sleep. So if you're taking it for insomnia, you'll be taking it for life, changing to another med or getting your insomnia back when you come off it.

Do you think it's safe to take seroquel if you are not schizophrenic or diagnosed with BPD? I have ptsd and major depressive disorder, and have been experiencing long spirals where I feel out of touch with reality. My psychiatrist prescribed seroquel to boost my zoloft.

Its been found useful according to studies with refractory depression. Many docs use it off label for PTSD.

My son was taking 400mg of Quetiapine and 50mg of Haloperidol. We took him down to 2mg of Haloperidol for about a year or so; then, we just recently started reducing the Quetiapine to 375mg bc he's tired of how it makes him feel. It is the gentler of anti-psychotics but I wouldn't recommend any meds if possible. Try "neurtro-ceuticals" to help if at all possible. He has Graves Disease (hyperthyroidism) so the Quetiapine helps with that. But when we reduced just 25mg his hyperthyroid numbers got worse. I just wish that all doctors would tell you everything up front and take it a little slower. I've had to be his doctor and do titrating and everything. He gained 40lbs in about 2 months and it has been challenging to try to lose it. His bloodwork shows almost all the "rare/dangerous" symptoms. He's been on it for about 3 1/2 years and just dropping 25mg causes Akathisia and some psychosis to return. He's only 24. Very thorough and informative video btw.

Thank you for this informative video.👍 I have a couple questions. 1. How hard is Quetiapine to withdraw from compared to other antipsychotics? 2. When withdrawing from Quetiapine Immediate Release, is it a good idea to take it in two doses (morning and evening) to avoid inter-dose withdrawal symptoms due to its short half life? 3. What are your thoughts on prescribing low-dose Quetiapine off-label for insomnia? Would you say it is overkill to prescribe a drug that affects so many neurotransmitter systems when the main effect you are looking for is histamine antagonism to help with sleep? An old antihistamine like doxylamine might do the job just as well, and with fewer side effects. I'm not asking for medical advice, just your personal opinion.

1. Slow tapering is suggested . 2. Take the regular dosage. 3. It is used off label for insomnia. Chat with your GP for other options. Stay healthy.

Hi Dr. Neha paresthesia is a tingling sensation and numbness, typically felt in the extremities. It can happen as a side effect but oftentimes as a withdrawal effect of psychotropic medications.
