After being on Seroquel for almost 5 years, I have become so constipated that I will go days without having a bowel movement. And when I do have a bowel movement, I would have severe cramping and the bowel movement would come out so large that it would clog the toilet. I hate this drug! I mean, I eat my fruits and vegetables and I'm even eating prunes. Another day goes by, another two days goes by. And not only do I NOT have any bowel movements umm... but my fasting blood sugar and blood pressure skyrocketed and when I say skyrocketed, I'm not talking a couple points. I'm talking close to 20 points. I'm THIS close to getting metabolic syndrome! And after the blood sugar and the blood pressure, I am now dealing with ACNE!!! I have these severe breakouts that I cannot control.I'm now on a prescription for my acne that I started today. I don't get it! I lost 102 pounds in a year in a half, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs and I don't have sex. How could something like this happen to me? My doctor is a total moron and she just sits there and does nothing! I need to get off of this drug, PLEASE!!!

I agree that this drug is poison to the body. I have your side effects like extreme dry mouth, sore throat, constipation and dizziness. I have been taking it for 3 years and started out at 250mg. When I was on that amount I couldn't have a bowel movement for days and I developed a dry cough that eventually became so painful it felt like strep throat. I am down to 75mg now and bowel movements are better but still have that rajor feeling in my throat can't get enough fluids.
I am going down to 50mg for 2 weeks then 25mg nd get the hell off this stuff. Hopefully my throat and mouth return to normal. If not then I got these ass**&ole doctors to thank. I would like to boot them up with about 500mg of this stuff and see how they like it. bunch of morons...
anyway good luck on getting off this crap and maybe find something else less lethal
