Taking Seroquel for 15 months.

[CRP]

Hello everybody.

I have been taking Seroquel for 15 months (300 mg a day recently, a bit more at the beginning).

I would like to know how much time could I continue taking it without important adiction or side effects happening.

I am diagnosed with schizophrenia and I don't see my doctor removing the medication anytime soon, hence my worries and therefore my question.

Regards.

As far as I can tell it builds up like plastic in your body and is very hard to get rid of. I took only 50mg a day for 5 years. I've been off it for l l/2 years and still feel very stiff. Have a lot of pain. I wouldn't advise taking it for any length of time. Take care. Brandy.

Hi, Brandy.

Thank you for your advice, although I will do what my doctor tells me. I think that's the responsible way to act since I need the medication for my illness.

What parts of your body do you feel stiff? When did that pain you mention start? I don't feel stiff and I don't have pain, maybe those side effects don't affect everyone.

I used the same dose for 12 months and developed a very brittle diabetes...check your glucose readings

My aunt takes Seroquel for 3 months (she orders from http://pillrx.info ). She did not see side effects yet.

Usually there is a pattern, such as weight gain in the first 11 weeks, which increases the risk of diabetes. I became very lethargic and inactive on the drug and it soon became an antidepressant. Have you aunt take blood sugars just in case.
