In reply to I HATE Seroquel, posted by Dinah on August 16, 2003, at 10:41:12
dinah, dear,
i'm so sorry you've had such a bad time with this med! it's certainly not for everyone. me, i can't tolerate ssri's. they make me feel like i'm coming out of my skin.
however, i've been taking seroquel for six weeks with excellent results. i started at 25mg twice a day and have reached my target dose of 150mg a day.
yes, i'm a little dopey sometimes, but for the first time in my life I've caught glimpses of what it feels like to be okay...good, even.
the constant, torturous, racing thoughts of doom, fear, and panic have largely abated. it's not my only problem by far, but for that gift alone, i will endure sleepiness and more.
i'm not trying to negate your opinion in any way, and i hope you find something you can tolerate better. i just wanted to include my viewpoint in this thread because i would hate for someone to avoid trying it who might be helped like i have been.
