Seroquel and 19 years

Hey everyone,

I was on Seroquel since I was 19 years old and after a year and a half my doctor told me to quit, but the hallucinations and schizo feelings came back in a month. I spent 3 month constantly broke down in a hospital! Than I had Ziprexa and gained20 kgs and the doctor gave me Seroquel again. I lost 10 kgs immediately and I am very happy with 150 mg for night but - I can not lose weight - the remaining 10 kgs by any chance!!!!! And today they measured my cholesterol, and it is HIGH- 6,8 ! What is yours?

Has anyone experience with pregnancy and seroquel? Because I want to have kids and am not sure wheather to take like 50 mg or take off it - I am scared. But if you feel really TIRED in the morning, it helps when you take smaller dose.

I will be happy if you answer, Lenka from Prague

I've been on seroquel for about 5years, ive been taking 500mg a night, it was prescribed after my doctor said i had schizo effective disorder when i was 19 years old i am now 24. And i feel my life is great execpt for one thing seroquel as it did help me to sleep, and calm me down at the time of my episode back when i was 19, now it has and is still ruining my life. I gained 50kgs which im not sure what that is in pounds probably about 105pounds-ish, i managed to drop about 25kilos but am forever gaining weight and it is a constant battle just to mantain my weight let alone lose the weight, but thats not the worst thing. I am constantly tired it doesn't matter how much i sleep i am still tired i have to go to bed at 9.30pm just so i can wake up at 8am to go to work, and i am so tired all day even after that much sleep and even if i sleep for 12,14 hours i am still tired my partner says that sleep rules my life and nothing is as important in my life than sleep, because im tired my concentration is so bad and my memory is worse, im just in another world and always out of it seroquel runs my life and i hate it im am so scared to come off it, but ive decided that im going to start to do it. and finally rid my life of, this disease which was supposed to help me but has completely taken away my hold on my life, i will not be ruled by seroquel anymore.
