  And, of course, the docs will say, "... but don't stop taking it." Funny how everytime yet another drug is shown to have potentially fatal side effects that's the line that gets trotted out by some shill. What's really sad is that people diagnosed w/ so-called mental illnesses can't get a second or third opinion even though shrinks are the most likely of all docs to be self-medicating.

  I took Seroquel for four years and started with acute pancreatitis, then it progressed to the chronic condition. I have to deal with IBS, Oteoporosis, and the painkillers. The pancreatitis is the idopathic kind, non alcoholic, my liver is perfect, the cause is the intake of the Seroquel, they will try to say you're an alcoholic, not true, 900 mg a day will mess up your pancreas.

My former psych. closed down and did not release my records to my lawyers. I am part of a lawsuit too.

  Oh my gosh ! My brother has been taking Seroquel. He had told his doctor he did not like the side effects. Just this past weekend he was admitted through the ER with overdosage / improper combination of his meds. I fear the Seroquel played some part in his medication emergency.

  I was diagnosed as a type II diabetic two years ago. I had been taking Seroquel for approximately a year prior to the diagnosis.
