User Reviews for Seroquel XR oral

Aids in sleep disorders but has caused a great deal of weight gain.

I can sleep at night and I am not thinking about things bad that have happened to me or what I should have said to someone in a disagreement. Not thinking of past experiences is the past during the day.

I have been on a lot of different meds since childhood this drug is the one i have been consistent with and it really helps with irritability and anxiety. Weight gain is a big side affect and some aches and pains(in the legs).

i have been taking this for bipolar ,it has been working great .I have noticed weight gain.

While using Seroquel i've been able to sleep, and my anxiety and depression havent been anything like they were. Although if im in a crisis my mood seems to go beyond the help of this medication. But its because of the medication I have less Crisis's.

it makes me very sleepy and not focused whatsoever

I have just started taking this medicine, having very bad headaches. Will this go away once in my system? I've taking 100 mg at bedtime, but today I took a 50 mg about noon, it has eased my headache. Dr. is just trying this on me for depression possible manic depressent, bipolar. I took Effexor for years, trying this has messed up my body. Hoping after a week I will feel better, just headaches are so bad! Turning 50 soon, can not handle stress anymore. Anyone else going through this?

i am a bi polar i started taking this med 2 weeks ago it works great but i have a rash and my body itches all over

at 40, helps with sleep (make sure you have 8+ hours to sleep); drug has lessened extreme depression lows-but also has hindered feeling "up"; noticed weight gain

wasnt really diagnosed completely correctly? Gave me zeprexa for a couple of yrs, then tried seroquel... Worked fro several yrs.... ive gotten much better, through therapy and a better life style change... gained 10-15 lbs on it also... def couldnt get motivated at all, for the gym.... statrterd feeling flat again... getting even more depressed... ive been tapering off seroquel now for about 6 months..its been a process, up & downs....ready to rid of it... long process.. sean-Atlanta

How long does the stomach pain last when quitting Seroquil cold turkey

Works fairly well. I may need an adjustment due to feeling depressed (not all the time). Im on 200mg per day which i take in the morning.

i have noticed since changing medications from seroquel to seroquel xr that i have been stuttering during a conversation that lets say last longer then 2 minutes. but i do not stutter when i am on the phone. in person is where ive noticed the change... mind you before this medication i wouldn't have been able to hold a conversation longer then 2 minutes.

i have been takeing seroquel 300 mg for about three years. and it has helped me greatly. i sleep good at night and wake up refeshed. its the best medicins i have ever taken for my condition bipolar is hard to get a handle on but serioquel has done it for me thankful in mo

I have been taking Seroquel for about a year. 400mg at bedtime. My doctor recently added Seroquel XL (300 mg) to my reqular Seroquel dose. Although Seroquel has been the best anti-depressant for me so far, I find myself stuttering. Has anyone else experienced this as a side-effect?

I have been taking this medication for almost 7 months. It has been hard on me due to leg pains. It keeps me up and in pain until I just cant take it anymore. However, I do sleep better on it then without it. I still have pain in my legs for about 3 hours after I take it but it is not as bad as it was when I first started it. As for treating my condition, I have been on so many different meds that I feel this one have worked better then the rest. It has helped my mood swings. I don't have as many manic attacks however they are still there at times. Read More Read Less

It works well for sleeping. I tend to get manic and unable to sleep. The lower dose is the best. It's important to stay on it even though the first few days are a bit rough meaning "grogginess."

my doctor prescribed this medication for chronic insomnia it is the only thing that has worked well for me.

I have been taking Seroquel XR 400mg for seven months. At first I had severe dry mouth and kept drinking lots of water, however chewing gum and having hard candy around helps more. I did "break through" the lower dose of Seroquel and had a manic episode. My doctor increased the medication and we closely monitor this dose.
