What is a side effect seroquel?

Answer 1

Answer

It could kill you. Don't do it. It is a central nervous system depressent and has been linked to Diabetes. It is an excellent drug to treat schizophrenia and bipolor disorder, but should not be abused. See a psychologist to treat your addictions.
Only the people that take a high does everyday (so basically the people that are prescribed it) get diabetes due to weight gain which is one of its side effects. It is either because of over eating or because it slows down your metabolism, they don't really know.

Answer 2

Seroquel side effects:

Seroquel is an atypical anti psychotic medication that is used for the treatment of schizophrenia and Bipolar disorder. While it cannot cure these conditions, the medication is generally successful in helping to manage symptoms. Seroquel comes in tablet form and is believed to block or lessen the effect of certain chemicals in the brain. Possible side effects include dry mouth, headaches, and dizziness.

Common Seroquel side effects include dry mouth, dizziness, high triglycerides (determined by a blood test), and headaches. While side effects, if they occur, are typically minor and easily treated, some problems may require immediate medical attention. These side effects of Seroquel that should be reported to a health care provider right away include abnormal muscle movements, signs of diabetes, and rapid weight gain.

Answer 4

the active chemical in Seroquel is a benzodiazopine compound. benzodiazopine compound tend to be mildly addictive so depending on how long you have been on Seroquel the effects may range from nothing to symptoms common to all addictive drugs these include but are not limited to sweating, shaking, drug cravings, nausea, vomiting, etc

Answer 5

Severe weight gain and drowsiness. I gained 10 lbs in one month taking 50mg 2 times a day.

Seroquel is a horrible drug. It dries up every part of you; no tears, no nasal mucus, gross inability to move bowels. It makes you very sleepy anytime during the day. If it's supposed to be a sleeping pill it should not be taken during the day at all. It also makes you fat and you can't lose the weight.

FROM MY EXPERIENCE: I'm 19, began Seroquel for bipolar disorder at least 2 years ago. Seroquel has made a huge difference in my life, yes it makes you groggy but it depends on when you take it, the dose, and how long you've been taking it. I take 600mg every night (along with some other meds) an hour or so before bed. The only complaints I have ever had were sleepiness for the first 4 to 5 days of a new dose and some minor muscle twitching. Weight gain is a side effect with many antidepressant/antipsychotic drugs, I'm losing weight just fine while taking my meds. And Seroquel IS NOT a sleeping pill, it's used to keep a person calm or relaxed not to take before bed to sleep. One 600mg at night lasts me all day. So to say that Seroquel is a horrible drug and to assume all of the side effects are present with everyone is a biased thing to say. Every person is different, every dose is different. You shouldn't let a few side effects scare you away from a medication that could help you tremendously. If it's not working then ask your doctor to take you off of it. You won't know until you try.
