I just stopped taking seroquel, at the recommendation of my psychiatrist and wow, what a difference. I feel like I have been in a fog for 20 years!

Pros

Helped me sleep.

Cons

Groggy all the time! I was falling asleep a lot during the day and could not function as well. I was on 600 mg a day. I don't recommend it unless you like to sleep a lot, even in church.

I have been on it for about 6yrs now and this is the only thing that helps my depression. I am on 800mg at night and it also helps me sleep

Pros

works for me and now awful side effects

I am so undecided about this one. For my mental health it did help but…the weight gain and being sleepy ALL the time. I don't think it was healthy really for me and my situation.

Pros

Helped mental health issues

Cons

Weight gain/Drowsiness

So far, this is the ONLY thing that has helped me sleep! I am up to 800mg at bedtime! Well, it also helps to regulate my mood. But right now, I have no insurance so I can't get it. It costs almost $1000 out of pocket!

Pros

It worked great!

Cons

I can't sleep right now because I don't have any!

I have taken this for about 5 years. It helps with sleeping but I took it first for mental problem.

Pros

It has worked very well for me.

Cons

If I take to high a doze it makes me all dizzy.

I saw an ad about this medication on Web MD. There were several people who said that it worked well for them.

Pros

sometimes no matter what- I don't sleep at night but with this med- I usually do and it increases the length of time and I don't get up at night for any long time

Cons

like most meds- after a long time and maxed out dose- it quits working I took it for years then nothing tried some other things for almost a year and went back on Seroquel and it works again at 100 mg
