Sorry for the TMI but since I started seroquil I have an increased sex drive. I'm not really complaining, because sex has become much more enjoyable, but the downside is that I find myself "sleeping around" more if that makes sense. Not sure if it's from the medication or my body trying to level out the manic side.

AliveandWell, I do not believe it is a common side effect, but it can happen. If it continues, just run it by your doctor the next time you are in the office.

Seroquel blocks dopamine so I don't think it's that, you're probably still a little manic. Just curious, what dose of Seroquel are you taking?

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
