Another med change. I have had several different med regimes over the last year. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, Depression and GAD. My doc just put me on a low dose of seroquel. I take wellbutrin,& buspar ( i was just taken off depakote). Has anyone had any experience with this? I mentioned it to a friend and they didn't have a good opinion of it.

hi there,
I take 100 mg of seroquel at night. It really helps me go to sleep, although I usually stil get wakeful at around 3 am.

I haven't noticed any bad side effects - have been taking it for about 3 weeks.

good luck!

I was taking 600mg of Seroquel a couple of years ago. It made me very sedated and I gained some weight. I felt I couldn't tolerate the drug, so I requested to be taken off of it. Not everyone takes that high of a dose, though. And the gaining weight doesn't happen to everyone, either. I've known of it helping quite a few people. Everyone's body and tolerance is different, so it might work well for you. Just give it a chance, and see what happens. If you experience side effects that you can't tolerate, then talk to your doctor about it. But it's at least worth trying, in my opinion.

I take 200 mg of Seroquel at night. It helps me sleep and helps my overall mood. I, too gained weight and tried an alternative because of the weight gain. I went back on Seroquel after 2 weeks. I sleep better and my mood is better on Seroquel. The weight gain is a side effect that is worth dealing with for the benefits of the drug, in my opinion.

I take Seroquel XR 300mg. It used to make me go to sleep, but not anymore. At my last visit my dr said we may try abilify because of the weight gain (it bothers me)
