Seroquil Side Effects

I started taking Seroquil 2 weeks ago. First at 50 mg. Then after the first week 200mg. It seemed to stop the racing thoughts and paranoia at first, but recently returned. I am also very sore, almost like my body is cramping. I took a very hot shower and that seemed to help. I am also having crazy dreams now everynight. I am wondering if these stop. I am feeling like quiting my job and leaving my home. I know this is not rational but I am seriously considering this.

Re: Seroquil Side Effects

I've found that stopping and starting meds will often cause strange and vivid dreams. The most common side-effect of seroquel is somnolence ... higher dosages apparently don't have this effect but the amount you are taking is likely to make you sleepy for the first few weeks. I would wait until you're used to the meds before making any sudden decisions about quiting work or moving. You want to have a clear head before commiting to anything big.

Re: Seroquil Side Effects

Talk to your doctor. If the Seroquel helped at first, he may actually want you to increase the dose (200mg is a fairly low dose). I agree with Nicolas: now is NOT the time to make life-altering decisions!
