Thank you. I also take Seroquel but can only tolerate 75 to 100 mgs daily. I have found it useful but I've experienced horrific(for me) side effects on higher doses and on many other anti psychotics it's the same. I am truly afraid of these medications because of my own experiences taking them yet a low dose of Seroquel enables me to sleep and seems to control anxiety.If it works for you it's all good. If it doesn't it's all bad.Good luck to you. I live in the UK.

You are my new best friend. I'm on Seroquel XR 50 mgs in am and 50 mg at night. I love it. It saved me from being suicidal. I get sleepy sometimes and yes, I've gained weight but I don't care. Seroquel has saved my life

@jrokkaaa253 like any medication it takes about a month for it to properly start working. Just stick with it.

Seroquel has also helped me alot. I suffered from insomia and depression. Seroquel has taken care of those two problems that made my life miserable.

@updownjunkie Hi, I was perscribed seroquel today! I hear voices in my head which torment me, and make me depressed. Does seroquel help block the voices in your head?

can i get seroquel from a family doctor non-psychiatrist?
I have had a positive experience as well.It took a while for me to get the right dosage.I however take 3 Seroquel 25mg every evening with 1 Trileptal 300mg .Yes it makes you sleepy,But the benefits for instance, no anxiety, no constant crying, etc. far outweigh everything I have had sucess with mine I am so sick of the complaints about it too :./

@KanameShito Now my doctor just took me off of Seroquel and is trying me on Saphris. I am very nervous about making this transition. I just started it last night. Terrified!!!! I've been on Seroquel for so long.
