Quetiapine

Hi

Is anyone else not not getting on with this medication?

I have been prescribed it for major depression and take 75mg daily. One in the morning and two at night.

Even after getting use to the side effects I am still finding myself completely knocked out five months down the line.

Feel flat and its a real effort to motivate myself. Feel as if I just want to sit and cry and do absolutely nothing which is not like me.

Any thoughts or similar experiences appreciated.

I tried quetiapine and it didn’t suit me. I became nocturnal! My GP was happy to try a different med instead. Please talk to your doctors, there’s plenty of alternatives you can try and hopefully you’ll find one that helps

I've been on it in the past.

It was amazing for sleep. I'd be knocked out within 15 minutes of taking it. But I put on about 6 stone with a few years and still gaining weight so I decided to stop it.

Lost almost all that weight within a year of stopping it though.
