Whats up with seroquel?!

[Elinah]

I finally got given some medication for my illness im on seroquel ive been on it for 3 days and the side effects are killing me already, but my moods keep changing, one minute im frustrated and irritated then im all laughs with everyone and in a good mood. Is this meant to happen or am i going through rapid cycling? I thought i was only ment to have side effects but it looks like it affecting my moods too...

I have been taking seroquel for 1-2 years.. at 1st i considered this my MAGIC PILL, however the sedation is a killer. I have suffered extreme tiredness, lethargy and sedation on many different meds in the past 8 yrs to treat my BP, including zoloft, lithium, epilim.. and i didn't notice it with the seroquel at 1st, but now i may as well be a zombie. I have just today changed my script to seroquel XR (the slow release). Can anyone tell me, is the dopiness any or much less on this? And hey, with the weight gain, i haven't found a single drug yet that doesn't gain lots of weight. (The only time i lost 35kg in the past several years is when i took myself off all meds for a year - and NO, i don't recommend that, lol). Thanks all

I take my Seroquel at about 7pm so it does not carry its effects into my morning, but sleep like a baby.
