Hi all, I'm hoping someone here with Seroquel-experience can help...

seroquel has ruined my life.200mg for 2 years for insomnia.Have your wife taper off of it slowly to see if the reaction stops.

i came across this post in hopes of some answers as well. i am on seroquel and can tell you i have had no luck with it from the start. it has only made me worse instead of better. your wife should not be experiencing such horrible breathing problems.i had the same,as well as every other side effect that came along with the drug. the reason being,the dosage was dangerously high. it may be the same for your wife. my doctor doesn't know i have been cutting down my dosage slowly from 300mg to 15mg over the last 2 months. i am not stopping cold turkey, but i no longer experience the side effects i had. i want to come off it completely, but i havn't been doing well with my dosage being this low either.i am going to a different doctor to help me wean off of it completely....your wife should not have any of these problems.she should get a second opinion
if her doctor does not listen to her about what has been happening now. she really should be careful about just stopping it suddenly. she may experience side effects from doing that.please tell her she is not alone with this.i am trying to find a better alternative as well...i wish her the best of luck

i have the same breathing at when I'm sleeping my husband insists it's sleep apnea, i insist since I've had the operation to get rid of the problem it worked,now with the seroguel I'm doing the stop breathing and the drowning sensation wwhen I told him he insisted on uping my dose to 400mg not a smart move on his part.

my thing is this drug seems to make me angry

my first response to anyone who i taking any medication that gives them strange side effects or simply is not fixing the mental health issue, is GET OFF OF IT! of course I mean with the help of your doctor. But don't take any medication that is just making you feel worse. I have finally figured this out after many trail runs of many different medications. I have also found that there are too many medications out there to put up with these kind of side effects. I have a stepmom who tries different things for her anxiety, and nothing has worked for her so far. She just has to know that there IS something and she has to keep trying. Seroquel has worked miracles for me. I do feel tired and I do feel emotionless, but that beats the nightmares, anxiety attacks, heart palpitations, daily crying, loss of motivation and severe depression anyday. I have realized that you just have to pick and choose your battles. Losing my creativity is the hardest for me as I like to write, paint and do photography but at least this way, I can live and do right by my family.

seraquel is a very bad drug for side effects and also to get of them is even harder i was on them for four years and i was on 300mg twice a day and i felt like my lungs could not get enough oxygen so i went to my doctor and he sent me in to get my breath tested with the air hose and a ball. they found that i could no longer stay on it. my air way was getting infected by the drug and now i still have breathing problems. did you know you can see a different doc and also get a lawyer cause there is a big class action suit on this drug because of all the problems people are having
