Up until the end of August, 2007, I was on 20mg of Abilify a day. I weened myself off of the Abilify before my wedding on October 20. Then, I went on my honeymoon to Germany. When I returned from Germany, I could not sleep. This lasted for 3 weeks, until I felt like I had to go to the hospital to get knocked out or I would die. My family doctor told me to see a psychiatrist because I went off my meds without medical supervision. The new psychiatrist prescribed Seroquel for my insomnia. She gradually increased it until I was getting about 6 hours a night. I'm now on 500 mg, which I take about two hours before bedtime. I've noticed an increase in my breast size in less than one month of use. I've also gained about 5-7 pounds. Some days, I feel hazy during the day and some nights I have difficulty taking a deep breath. I am seeing a new psychiatrist tomorrow to see about getting off of Seroquel and on something else. Its great for insomnia, but the side effects are immediate and troubling.

hi im seventeen. and ive been on seroquel for a couple of months now. and yes ive gained weight but most of it was from zyprexa. but im bloated from seroquel and i look a bit pregnant to tell you the truth.

but what ive noticed from this drug is im experiencing EXTREME muscle stiffness in my jaw and the pain is horrible. docs dont know whats wrong so they just give me tylenol 3. but when thats gone what am i to do. cos they cant give me anymore.... and nothing over the counter works. and im still in extreme pain. hopefully the pain subsides in a few days cos tonight is the last night for the 400mgs of seroquel that im on.

i heard haldol gives worse pain... true or not? let me know. does anyone know of any anti psychotic that decreases weight? other than abilify..
