was on seroquel for a few days, after trying several other antidepressants which all had led to, weight gain, no sex drive (zoloft) heart "vibrations" and other side effects more harmful than helpful. but, the seroquel put me in a comotose, translike state. could not move off the couch, could not eat nor talk, a total zombie. stopped immediately, it took about a week for it to get out of my system. I am on zoloft again 50 mg. still no sex drive whatsoever, slight weight gain. but having no sex drive is the ultimate worst, yet I don't miss it at all when it was once the highlight of my marriage. sad to say marriage iss on the rocks, due to this minor problem. would love to go off it,, but i am too stressed. have tried so many drugs i can't keep track. do not want to gain weight or have no sex life, any suggestions on an antidepressant with no side effects? I am also going through my changes, ai am 50, which does not help.

I tried seroquel a few years agoand that's exactly how it effected me. Sure, I was the most relaxed I've ever been, but I was a zombie and couldn't get off the couch. There was no way I could take that drug and keep my job. I also tried Zoloft which just made me feel flat and out of sorts. Now after Effexor for 5 years, I'm trying Wellbutrin, which many say is neutral with respect to libido and weight gain. Time will tell,and I hope you find the right meds.

My husband has been on seroquel for 5months and let's just say he's not the person I know. He has NO sex drive when he used to be very sexual. He has gained 20 pounds, and is now in a world of his own. Before he was intrested in me and our children; but know he just acknowleges us and goes about doing his own thing. I don't know what to tell you. I have been there where I needed help, but I feel he needs help from his help. It doesn't help not knowing the full story about how he feels. Maybe if I had a better understanding then I would not feelso negative.
