Hello all! I am new. I was wondering if any of you took Seroquel and felt like crap? I started it about 4 months ago. I have been ignoring the crappy feeling that I feel since my husband swore up and down how good it helped him sleep. It was supposed to help my anxiety too, but I feel jittery all the time, I feel groggy every morning. When I go to sleep I take 150 mg of Seroquel and I cant fall asleep and I toss and turn ALL night because my neck and head hurt ALL day, EVERY day. I feel it is stress related. The Seroquel also makes me feel like I HAVE to move my legs or arms. I get chest pains and my heart rate is 130s after a 5 minute walk. Sometimes I even feel like my heart is going to stop and I spring up in bed with eyes like a deer in headlights and I feel my pulse is hard...like more noticeable...like you would think high blood pressure felt like. I always feel run down and weak and fatigued
The Welbutrin (300mg XL) helps wake me up and it gets me moving and I do feel happy and slightly more energetic than without it. Doctor thinks its the Welbutrin giving me the heart feelings but I didn't feel this until I started the Seroquel.
I have previously taken Xanax 1mg 3xday...but the rebound anxiety only makes me miserable. Klonopin 1mg 2xday gave me nightmares and when I was on Valium 5mg 3xday , I don't remember any negative side effects. I remember having energy and being in less pain. I want to get back on it and plan to see my doctor on Wednesday. Would anyone agree to stop the Seroquel? Has anyone else felt this way? I am just so sick of always being in my head and feeling like CRAP!!
I mean, I have a hard time with like 20 things running in my head at once. I cant concentrate/focus. I am scared of heights and Closter Phobic. Since having emotional sexual issues as a child, when I see sex on TV I accuse my husband of fantasizing over the woman even though I could easily fantasize over the man..i don't, but you get my point. I always assume my husband is rubbing the chicken when he takes a shower and flip out because I feel inadequate if he does...though I am not innocent doing that to myself...I flip over the smallest things and my husband constantly says he doesn't want to be around me when I am like this...and that doesn't really help me because I also have abandonment issues since my parents wouldn't stop the drugs and didn't feed me and I had to be adopted....I'm a freaking mess!

Welcome! I took Seroquel, but all I remember about it is it really knocked me out at night and caused vivid dreams. It could be an interaction with your meds. I would make sure to bring up these issues with your psychiatrist--and if you don't have a therapist, get one. You have a lot of issues to work through and I personally think you need more than meds to see you through. Okay?
