Re: 50mg of Seroquel effect...

Hi,
I've just come off Seroquel 400mg...I didn't have so much as side effects but I have put on an enormous amount of weight since it was increased to that dosage....at first it took about an hour for me to fall asleep and once I was asleep I was out until the morning, and some mornings I felt like right poo when I woke up. It didn't affect my eating much however I did crave more chocolate and sugary things, I honestly think it's induced Diabetes although Diabetes runs in my family so this may be part of it.

Kind of a bad idea just stopping them as I'm now having really bad withdrawals, but I'm going to see my psychiatrist next week to get it sorted.

has anyone got any suggestions on other possible meds to replace Seroquel? I'm also on Lamictal 200mg

My last diagnosis[which was a year ago] was Cyclothymic Disorder however this was before I was given Seroquel so not sure if that diagnosis still stands...another thing I need to sort with the Psychiatrist.

I need something to help me sleep - but not knock me out as I have severe panic attacks, was once given Zopiclone and it terrified me as it knocked me out within 5mins of taking it and I would out for nearly 16 hours...

I would appreciate any help
