Seroquel really wore me down when I was on it. I went from a highly energetic and motivated person, to a lazy, sleepy person, who even stopped cleaning the apartment. It also gave me a sweet tooth with chocolate cravings that were so intense it was like the cravings I had when I was pregnant!

I mean, it helped a lot with my anxiety, and kept me from being depressed, but it just turned me into such a lazy person. I couldn't even get up before nine in the morning. It was ridiculous, and I gained eleven pounds in seven months.

Sorry. I really hate seroquel. Lol.

Tell your doctor it's making you too tired. If that side effect is intolerable, there are other options, or there has to be something. If your pdoc dismisses your concerns, argue with him. Be firm. Tell him it needs to be changed.

Good luck!
