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..

Ive been on Seroquel for quite some time now, I asked my doctor too get me off. I am also on Lithium and Welbutrin. I have lost 45 pounds. Which isnt a horrible thing but with out Seroquel I am awake all the time. I stay up for days. After day three i break down and take a Seroquel and wake up with the worse body aches ever. It feels like someone beat me up with a metal bat and put me back in bed. If I don't sleep for at least 11 hours I cannot get up and function much less do any daily activities.It also makes my depression worse, on top of my lithium. The bodyaches I cannot do any more.
