At first I didn't gain weight from Seroquel. but after 3 years on it all of a sudden I am retaining fluid and gained 15 lbs in 2 months all water. I have stopped cold turkey on Seroquel and of course I am not sleeping well and it doesn't help that I am up about 7 times a night peeing because of all the water weight that is coming out. I think Seroquel is more addictive than Xanax or other drugs - the sleeping part was very good but who wants to keep retaining water and go from a size 12 to a 16 and it isn't stopping so I figured I would try stopping the Seroquel to see what happens = so far I think the weight is coming off (only 2 days off Seroquel) Doctors don't care about the weight gain. I wish I never went on it.

I was recently taken off of 10mg of Lisinopril and put on 20mg/25mg of Benazepril/HCTZ. Is this medication the same as Lisinopril? I am also noticing that my heart does weird flips. Is this a side affect and is it something to be concerned about? I was also taking Seroquel and stopped a month ago. This is when I noticed that my bp has increased to 144/92 from being 120/75. I am having trouble sleeping and have more anxiety now and I also feel flushed and my legs itch when I get up like I am holding too much fluid. I also take Metoprolol 25mg twice a day. Are these a good combination? I have had three Grand-mal seizures since 2002 and I am now 40years old. I work out with cardioid for 45mins and do weights for 45min three times a week. I have also gained 20lbs in the past six months and I have had tests done on thyroid which I believe are inconclusive. I don't know what I should do?

I am having tingling burning sensation in my feet, legs and hands and arms. My blood pressure was not improving on 5 mg so I upped it to 10 and those symptoms are much worse. The tingling sensation goes all the way up my left arm and up above my knees on my legs.
I have tried to take the Lisinipril before and stopped for these same reasons. My doctor does not seem to think that it is due to the Lisinipril. so I tried it again and the burning, burning sensation is driving me crazy and keeping me awake. I have to get up and stand in cold water for a while to get some relief.
I have not read about anyone with the same symptoms. Does anyone out there have these symptoms??

I was on Seroquel for 3 years for tourettes and I went off it September. I went off it because I wanted no chemicals in m body that would hurt the fetus. Since then I have been dealing with insomnia.It is now January and I am pregnant. I was up all last night and its getting worse. I have pulled 4 overnighters in the past month. I am scared because I know I need to sleep in order to keep this baby. I wish I never went on it!!
