quetiapine fumarate (100mg) for schizoaffective disorder (SAD or SZA)

This drug works really well for me. I take it 3 times a day, the quick-acting version on the following schedule: 2 times 100 mg and then before bed 150 mg. Together with the drug sertraline 50 mg I have been able to get my schizoaffectve disorder well under control. Partly thanks to this medication I have once again found my desire for life. But watch out: Seroquel can suppress your feeling of ...

quetiapine fumarate (200mg) for borderline personality disorder (BPD)

Before I took Solian I used Seroquel, among others. Seroquel, though, made me incontinent. I'm much better off on Solian.

quetiapine fumarate (200mg) for borderline personality disorder (BPD)

I've been taking this medicine for so many years. It has given me so many advantages but also a few disadvantages. I have put on a lot of weight because of this medicine and I am now addicted to it. I have been able to reduce the dose considerably over the years but stopping is out of the question for me.

quetiapine fumarate (25mg) for emotional exhaustion / burnout

Because of a burn out/depression I couldn't sleep any more. The GP gave me this. It works well but in the meantime I have increased to 25 mg (started out on half that). Regardless of how well I sleep I'm always incredibly drowsy and tired. But I can't sleep without it. I'm afraid that I can't cope without it any more.

quetiapine fumarate (20mg) for depression

Works in case of PTSS, depression and insomnia. Does what it’s supposed to do, in my case no side effects. Dose probably needs increasing.

quetiapine fumarate (25mg) for insomnia

Since I was 17 I've had problems sleeping, mostly difficulty falling asleep. Apparently I have a delayed sleep phase syndrome in combination with ADHD. quetiapine works for me because it reduces the continual stream of thoughts going through my head so I can fall asleep more easily. I also took zopiclone for a while but that really affected my memory and it was addictive. This works better for ...

quetiapine fumarate (300mg) for schizoaffective disorder (SAD or SZA)

First of all I had the usual dose 2 x 300 mg. Needed to pee every 15 minutes for 4 hours after taking it. Then I had 2 x 300 mg extended release. Couldn't pee at all and had to go to the emergency GP. Seemed to be urine retention, a side effect of the Seroquel! What a nightmare!! Stopped straight away with the total daily dose of 600 mg. Emergency consultation with the psychiatrist and started ...

quetiapine fumarate (25mg) for anxiety disorder

I've had two catheters inserted one after the other since starting this medication. It gave me urinary retention both times. Never using again.
