Seroquel and panic attacks

Will turn you into an emotionless, lethargic, drunk, apathetic zombie that has no more creative or human spark than a turnip does. Throw this crap in the garbage - NOW! I was prescribed this devil spawn drug from a PAIN MANAGEMENT doctor who told me it would help potentiate the Tylenol 3's he gave me. Drink a case of whiskey and smoke a crack rock the size of a buick and you'll essentially reach the point I was at after one of these pills. I started saying crazy things to my Girlfriend, started rearranging the refrigerator, slept for 10 hours (and I normally only sleep 4-6 hours) and woke up with these thoughts in my head like "What am I doing with my life? Nothing is going right, Everything I touch turns to hell". By about 10:30 in the morning at work, it finally started coming out of me and I started waking up and realized just how bad it was. DO NOT take this medication unless you are so severely psychotic that you simply can't make yourself stop killing squirrels. Why the hell a DOCTOR would prescribe this evil in pill form for Pain Management is so far beyond me, it's like wiping before you poop, just don't make no sense.

My husband ran out before our wedding and couldn't get more till a few weeks after we got back, the first few days were hard, after that if was like he wasn't BiPolar anymore. Against my wish he went back on it, and he seems to be dependent on it. His son's birthday triggers and episode every year, and this year was bad (he lives like 4,000 miles away~ and haven't seen him in 4 months) even then was for the wedding (he was in town for 3 days) He started to take more what was prescribed a lot more. and now he is trying to start taking it normal again however he is taking half the dose. Now he feels like he has NO ENERGY AT ALL! Is this normal?????????

What can I do to help him?
part 2 when he doesn't take it he sleeps like a baby. where as when he is on it he has massive panic attacks and is up on and off during the night.

After being on Seroquel for almost 5 years, I have become so constipated that I will go days without having a bowel movement. And when I do have a bowel movement, I would have severe cramping and the bowel movement would come out so large that it would clog the toilet. I hate this drug! I mean, I eat my fruits and vegetables and I'm even eating prunes. Another day goes by, another two days goes by. And not only do I NOT have any bowel movements umm... but my fasting blood sugar and blood pressure skyrocketed and when I say skyrocketed, I'm not talking a couple points. I'm talking close to 20 points. I'm THIS close to getting metabolic syndrome! And after the blood sugar and the blood pressure, I am now dealing with ACNE!!! I have these severe breakouts that I cannot control.I'm now on a prescription for my acne that I started today. I don't get it! I lost 102 pounds in a year in a half, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs and I don't have sex. How could something like this happen to me? My doctor is a total moron and she just sits there and does nothing! I need to get off of this drug, PLEASE!!!

I am sooo down because of this stupid seroquel,
Reading all of these, I'm starting to connect a lot of
what all you guys are going through, and I'm also
the same. The most frustrating one, is the weight
gain, I was 115 when I left a rehab center for psyches,
and in 4-5 months I've gained 20 lbs just eating
normal food, and I don't over eat, It's soo frustrating,
I would eat 500 ca. a day for some month, and
I would gain weight because of that! I have at least
a fast metabolism so when I exercise it does decrease
my weight really fast, (take vitamin B if you're suffering
from weight loss, it quickens your metabolism) but
besides that, I've lost coordination skills, tripping all
over the place, dropping items. Panic Attacks, trouble
breathing (agina) Dry Eyes, Thirst, Nausea, Depression,
Fatigue, and mostly what I've lost the most, mental
intelligence, I can't think anymore like I used, to.
Its frustrating to not be able to think as fast, I think
real slow now..

hated it. It was prescribed for insomnia and anxiety. Worked at first for the insomnia at 25 mg, then had to go up to 50 mg and barely worked then. My anxiety was worse, woke up with panic attacks. Vivid horrid nightmares. Spiraled into a severe, deep suicidal depression on it. Had hand tremors and restless legs. Currently weaning off. Never again!
