Seroquel almost destroyed me.

I was also diagnosed with BPD and put on Seroquel twice, but each time, I stopped taking it because I read about it possibly causing a fatal blood disease. I have taken Paxil for the past seven years now and it works pretty well for me.

Seroquel is helping me control my fears. I still have the symptoms of my disorder when I'm on it, but to a lesser degree. It is hard for me to talk about. I still haven't come to terms with everything that is going on. Medicine helps even though I wish I wasn't on it sometimes. I try to think that creativity is in all things. And people who have a hard time have gifts to give to people as well. Sometimes I can't even get out of my car. I shake sometimes when I drive because I feel pressure doing this activity. I want to think things are OK, and somewhat, they are. Maybe knowing, or discovering our limitations also helps us discover our strengths. We can be passionate about something! I want to help people in someway. Like bring attention to the creativity in the distressed. I don't want to let things be how they are! It's hard. I think reform takes communication...

I've taken Seroquel for about six years now for an anxiety disorder, I havn't had any problems from it except for the extreme drowsiness, although I havn't had many benefits from it either.

This is one of the worst medications. You gain 30 pounds on it and sleep way too much.

I did,but stopped. i hated it, i was sleepy, and angry with extreme moods... i was on 300g a day(200 in the morning and 100 at night),the hospital i was in diagnosed me firstly with BPD but later when they transffered me to PICU, psychiatrist there said that i have bi-polar. they just say loads of crap, hate them so much. by keeping someone locked up, that makes me crazy,having no freedom, and then when you start to argue they just sedate with lorazepam...HATE THEM!!!
