I was on it for about a month or so. I had to c/t off of it because I lost my insurance and couldn't afford it.  I just remember I gained a bunch of weight.

I was on seroquel for bipolar disorder for about a year and tapered down to 25mg from 300.  It does help a lot of people with sleep even though it isn't one of the label uses of it.  I did gain a lot of weight and in fact got Type 2 diabetes while on it.  Found out afterward that diabetes is one of the risks/precautions.

Hi,

 

I was put on it in the hospital for extreme insomnia, and it saved my life. started on 100mg. It knocked me out! I was on it for about 6 months, but actually lost lots of weight during that time, probably due to the klonopin. Later, I occasionally took about 25mg and even that dose knocked me out.

I tried Seroquel before to help me sleep.  I felt gross the next morning although I had only taken 25mg.  I have heard before that some people do not like the side effects.  I never tried it again.  It is in the same category as Zyprexa which helped but I retained so much water that my ankles looked like elephant feet.

 

A family member took Seroquel and blew up like a balloon!  She then worked out and cut way back on eating and lost the weight.  I don't think I have the discipline.

 

Well good luck whatever you decide.

seroquel is an atypical antipsychotic. It is very sedating. The antipsychotic effects are only achieved at around 300 to 400mg, others take upto 900mg per day. I take 25mg of seroquel to sleep a few times per week, and I like it. I tried all benzos, anitdepressants, Z drugs and this is the only one that worked for me. I doubt weight gain would be a concern under 100mg. I do notice I built tolerance to it FAST. That's why I take it as needed and no more than 3x per week.
