How long have you been taking Seroquel for? I wish I could be some help in this.
I have been taking Seroquel for 6 months now, and at my admittedly tiny dose of 12.5 mg, I feel no pain. BUT - I did research on this - there have been NO studies of long-term use. Seroquel is new, has been on the market for less than four years. The product literature suggests short-term treatment only. Then again, the product literature suggests Seroquel is only for schizophrenics, which it isn't.
We are the human guinea pigs in this experiment. I guess only time will tell if there are long-term repercussions of taking this drug. Maybe research into other atypical anti-psychotics will shed some light on this? Who knows.
I'm hoping for an answer just as you are. I have to admit that I'm rather partial to this drug - it has treated me well.
