Newly On Seroquel - Yeah Sucks !!!!

Thanks Shelly for starting this one.

Im recently been put onto seroquel, while was in hospital for suicidal and Od'ing.   Have Borderline Per Dis & Post Traumatic disorder.   The thoughts are definelty less now, so its doing its job, which is the main thing.  Side effects been extremly thirsty, putting on some weight, im a complete zombie which is damn hard when you have a child to take to and from school.   Ive also been experiencing very dramatic wierd feelings in my brain, but this is most likely my anxiety with the disorder.

I cannt take any noise. Even when i talk . I can literally feel my brain. Enormous pressure, like its going to explode. Few nights back i didnt think i was going to make it alive was so bad.  Thought i was going to stroke, which naturally added to my anxiety seeing ive stroked before, although was a toddler.   My Dr said it would be my disorder, but im curious as to if anyone else has experienced wierd brain feelings from being on Seroquel?

started on 6 a day, and now on 4 a day. Apparently im not allowed to go below 4 per day. Sucks!!!!

Take gentle care of yourselves.

    Im not taking it properly because how the helll are you suposed to drive a child to and from school!!?

    How did you live a normal life with Seroquel , while getting use to it?...... you cannt .

    Anyway, im glad to hear from you that it does get easier. I was under the impression Seroquel mill always make you a zombie no matter what.............. ok, ill be good, and take it like a good girl.

    Glad to hear youre coping better at the mo Shelly.

    weird brain feelings,,,,, BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

    that's what mine were like. it took me around 6 weeks to adjust to this medication. the zombie feelings will disappear. i started on the full dose prescribed. MISTAKE!!!!!!! i had to cut mine down to build up to where i needed to be. now, i am doing better now. much better. as far as thirsty,,,, shew i could have drank an entire lake. and sugar cravings ............. gimmie the chocolate!!!!! oh, and that's another thing that helped me adjust to the meds, i ate one piece of dark chocolate when i would TRY to get out of bed. it helps......... and i did eat about 6 dozen oatmeal cookies...... i gained maybe 5 pounds, i am just fighting cravings now

    but, i am doing better..............

    i hope your body adjust soon, this was the hardest medication i have ever SUFFERED through......... but, i am feeling really good now, and i hope it will work for you,,,,,,,,

    blessings and love
