Started on Seroquel, took it a couple of weeks and then took some Ultram for back pain and within two hours had a Grand Mal Seizure. If you are on Seroquel at the very least make sure you talk to pharmicist and Dr. about med combos when changing around prescriptions. I personally believe it works quite while for many people, but…be careful when meds are getting changed around – neither seroquel or tramadol is any med I will take again. I will not take the risk of having a seizure while driving and killing someone plus how horrible I have felt since the seizure.

I started taking seroquel about 6-7 years ago when I was in a mental institution in florida. Within 4-5 months after taking the drug I became a diabetic with extremely high blood sugars. I was on 300mg a day for about 2-3 years before I found out it causes diabetes. I am presently in a lawsuit against the company. I am only 45 years old and since my diabetes started from what I believe is from seroquel I have had two amputations of my left leg, I have coronary heart disease, had to have a stent in my heart, my neuropathy is so severe I constantly burn myself on my hands, I have been hospitalized 3 times with pancreatitus, my stomach no-longer digestes food properly and vomit rotten food on a daily basis and because of this I can hardly keep my sugar levels up now. almost daily my sugar drops below 50.listen to me people, I am only 45 years old and have a very grim future because of seroquel, please dont let it happen to you. the drug manufactures cannot give me enough money for the amount of pain and suffering ive gone through and it will only get worse. The sorry part of it all is I probably not live long enough to see anything from it. My wife and children will hopefully get it for the suffering they have gone through as well. I cant even wear my prostetic leg hardly ever cause I get sores and of course because of the diabetes I dont heal…PLEASE>>IF YOU ARE ON SEROQUEL< GET OFF IT AS SOON AS YOU CAN!!!MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL……….. chad

It’s very unfortunate that the hospital Drs. so readily prescribe these damaging antipsychotics. They are lethal drugs that should only be used in emergency situations. The mental practitioners should not assume that long term use of these drugs are warranted if someone is not psychotic ie danger to himself/others/gravely disabled. Even then they have the potential to make a person worse mentally. Just read the tiny label. Seroquel is a dangerous drug that causes heart disease, diabetes, and possibly cataracts and addiction.

I have been on Seroquel 50 mg for about two weeks for OCD. My legs and now arms and fingers are jerking and twitching. I feel like I want to crawl out of my skin. I just discontinued this on my own. I’m hoping these side effects aren’t permanent. Scary stuff.

My son was taking 300 mg of seroquel 3 times a day for about 2 years he is now 9 years old, he no longer takes seroquel but is taking Zyprexa. He gained a whole bunch of weight has severe leg cramps and craves carbohydrates all of the time which has me concerned too because I am diabetic. He is now in the hospital for a manic episode in which he tried to kill himself, how do I get involved in the law suit to make those SOB’s pay for what they have done to my son

I was a firm believer in this medication and was on it for several years with outstanding results. That is until my doctor screwed with my medication dosage. Now I cannot take it and I wish that I could.

i’ve been on 600mg seroquel for 3 yrs and don’t like the side effects weight gain,diabetes,fatty liver and muscle weakness and lack of energy. i can’t sleep without it but am thinking of asking for sleeping tablets..i have no emotions and memory imparied. once on seroquel the drs think you have to stay or go to hospital.i would gladly report it to atty if had finances.
