Has anyone else had a positive experience with Seroquel?
Whenever I read about Seroquel (quetiapine) online, especially here on Reddit, it seems like almost every story is overwhelmingly negative. People often describe severe weight gain, feeling like a zombie, or having all kinds of terrible side effects.
My experience has been very different. I’ve been taking 100 mg at bedtime and honestly it’s helped me a lot. I sleep much better, I feel more stable overall, I haven’t gained any weight—in fact, I’ve actually lost weight—and I haven’t experienced most of the side effects that people often talk about.
I’m not saying those experiences aren’t real, but I’m wondering if there’s a bit of a selection bias, where people with negative experiences are naturally more likely to post.
Is anyone else here doing well on Seroquel? I’d be interested in hearing from people who’ve had a positive or neutral experience too.
