I was wondering if anyone has taken Seroquel for bipolar depressive episodes and what your experiences were like. I know everyone reacts differently but I am interested to see others experiences with it. Thanks

It's the only thing that helped with the rage. I got lucky and the side effect was loss of appetite.
It does me knock out to the point I can't remember being up in the middle of the night...

I always have bizarre side effects. Seroquel gave me restless leg syndrome that was so frustrating I quit it after two days. But like I said I always get the weird off label side effects.

I was very sleepy on it and then had an allergic reaction so I was taken off.

Worked at first, then did nothing. Made me eat everything and gain weight. NOT good for someone who struggles with body image.
