I have a very good friend who has schizophrenia who takes Seroquel.
He develops Seroquel induced diabetes which a number of patients have developed who were unload those amounts of Sarah Quill for sleep issues. I’m not saying this is a bad drug and should never be used however it should be used with extreme caution and did my own personal opinion only in extreme cases. The potential side effects are indeed dangerous. Some people may try to convince you that because it’s a second generation drug that it is safe, if that’s the case don’t believe them. It may be safer than some first generation drugs true and now however it’s still a very powerful and dangerous medication with potential lifelong irreversible side effects that may actually threaten your life.
Please be cautious,
Jake

I've been on 600mg of seroquel for 19 years...I have been diagnosed with prediabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetic neuropathy...I'm weak and tired all the time...20 years ago I was admitted into the hospital for suicidal ideation...the Dr there started me on 800 mg of Seroquel...I've been through several psychiatrists since...I've been with the one I'm with now for 3 years...he is suggesting for me to ween off of it...he said 6-8 months...when I was put on it I weighed 125 in 30 days I weighed 190 and twenty years later I weigh 300...I really want off of this medication I feel that it is slowly killing me...but on the other hand I'm scared.
