Just started using mine a few days ago and today I was able to clean my whole kitchen and I felt so good dnt know if it was the seroquel but it's been years since I was able to do major cleaning and not stop mid cleaning to sleep or restless
That's awesome, thanks for sharing! 😀
How are you doing now
Your post I ten months ago but i am about to dyary mine this tonight. I hope for thr best despite the side effects
Yeah I had the same result. I'm bipolar and once I started taking it I became way more productive and on top of myself, in everything, work, relationships, hobbies. I felt like Bradley Cooper in Limitless.
I've been on it for almost a year, I take 400mg
i dont know about anyone else experience with this drug but mine has been amazing. i feel more like myself then i have on any other antidepressant and i can finally sleep.
That's awesome to hear! Thank you for sharing 😀
look up long term effects of taking low dose Seroquel, the trade off is not worth it. I'm taking 400mg a day, but not for long
This is amazing!! Thanks so much!!
Thank you! I hope it helped ☺️
Gosh, I'm so glad I found you nurse Ryan! I am close to taking my exams and was really feeling the pressure, but your videos are so informative and accurate, thank you!
Always happy to help! Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck on your exams! 🙂
@@NurseRyan will do, thanks again!
@@NurseRyanciao posso sostituire quetapina con halcion ..mi dà problemi la quetapina.. attualmente prendo 50mg di quetapina e volevo sapere se posso togliere e inserire halcion mi faccia sapere.. quetapina e x uso off label x dormire
Thank you for the info. I couldn’t get myself to read the pharmacy papers. This helped.
Need help on any kind of meds? hit me on channel bio
Happy to help! 🙂
Thank you Sir 🙏
Glad to help! 😀
I'm on this for schizophrenia,I used to self medicate with illegal drugs as a young man,not cool and made my condition worse,I'm clean from drugs and alcohol and have been for years now. But I must be honest,I feel more wasted on this medication than I ever did on illegal drugs! and where it works in some ways,it is kinda killing my personality,and that is something close friends and family noticed before me, and I find most meds of this type do make you better in a few ways, but one thing they have all done for me is kill my personality and give me a lot of other side effect including fits,so yeah they help but I've had to sacrifice a few things like,,,my personality and libido and loss of energy be point where I have to push myself.
Thank you for sharing your experience, and I'm sorry to hear that it has not been all good! You're definitely right that most of these drugs will have tradeoffs, and it's up to you and your doctor to determine whether it's worth continuing, trying to switch to another drug, or trying something else all together. I hope you find something that works best for you!
such a good med!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing 😀
My girlfriend takes this and it seems to be helping her. I personally don't take anything not even Tylenol or Advil but if it helps her then I'll continue to support her using it.
Thank you for sharing! Supporting her decision is definitely the right way to go 😀
Is serequel still the only antipsychotic that covers all 4 of the bipolar phases?
-depression , mania, mixed phase and maintenance phase?
Can you (or someone) please explain why it can be used along with antidepressants given it suppresses serotonin and most anti depressants elevate serotonin? Seems strange to me.
I had to take the extended release of quetiapine because the regular one wasn’t removing the psychotic behaviors. Although it’s not perfect, at least I’m not in jail because of these drugs.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Quetiapine. Glad to hear that it does help
Hi Nurse Ryan, I saw a video shared by the pharmacy on this medication. It mentioned that those taking it should not get too heated, like when doing exercise. I live in a hot climate. What would happen if I did get accidentally overheated?
Hi Valerie, that's right! Quetiapine can disrupt your body's natural heat regulation, and so it can lead to heat exhaustion, and in more severe cases, heat stroke.
I'll link a document that explains the symptoms and treatments of each problem. It's only 2 pages, so I would recommend giving it a quick read, and I hope it helps! --> www.state.nj.us/humanservices/dmhas/publications/miscl/Summer_Heat_Risks_ENG.pdf
Started a week ago. I can actually think now. I take it adjunct to strattera.
Good to hear! Thanks for sharing.
Nurses should be paid more
Does anyone else get a blocked nose from taking Quetiapine? I took it for almost 3 years to help with anxiety and it was good, I had no problems, then last year my nose started blocking up when I take it and it's still doing now every time I have one, so I basically have nothing to help with my anxiety anymore. Was wondering if anyone else experiences this and if they know why?
me replying while my nose is blocked from quetiapine:)
@@Allen_Angelo_Serrano
That sucks man, I feel your pain
I stopped my medication....no more pills.....all I can do is relax and try to get some sleep 😴
According to the FDA's 2013 label on Seroquel/Quetiapine, doses between 300-600mg/day caused Nasal Congestion in 5% of patients, compared to 3% in patients taking a placebo. This information was found from "Table 11: Adverse Reaction Incidence in 8-Week Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trials for the Treatment of Bipolar Depression"
I would definitely recommend sharing your experience with your primary healthcare provide or pharmacist, they can hopefully discuss ways to deal with this side effect! Hope that helps
Yes omg all the time my nose is blocked
I have started getting these off the street I have undiagnosed phychosis from years of cannabis and hard drug use; anyway got these or a friend for sleep and I slept like a log for the first time in years then after that my mood is significantly better no psychotic thoughs is it normal for someone to feel dramatically better on these drugs if like me not diagnosed
What’s stopping you from getting a proper diagnosis? I’m no doctor right,but just b/c you DO NOT have a diagnosis on paperwork doesn’t mean you DO NOT have a diagnosis complete with symptoms thusly needing meds for improvement. All in all self medication is not good as you can see by the cannabis you used to use. Mental health is a overall journey. I think you should get started. It will only make your life better. I started in 2017 and took a drop off in 2019 and I can’t wait to get back to wellness,..mind,body and soul. Good luck to you bud
@@Chaana_Yahawadah thank you I got the help I needed today was diagnosed with ptsd manic depression and psychosis I get them of the doctor tomorrow or Monday I’m so happy.
@@jaikai4989 great news
@@Chaana_Yahawadah thank you are you on this yourself? Il be using with my mirtazipine and pregabalin
After a year it stopped working for sleep. I even updosed and nothing changed! I prefer benzos too. Less side effects and being on them for more than 10 years without a problem says something
Thank you for sharing!
Hi Ryan
Great video thank you!
Im on a taper of Klonopin. Currently taking .37mg. My doctor says that seroquel can help with my sleep.
Was wondering if this medication can cause any heart arrhythmia or high blood pressure. Im 51 years old
Thank you
Michael
Hi Michael, thank you!
I always recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for actual medical advice. These videos are for instructional purposes only.
What I can say is that according to the FDA label, Quetiapine should be avoided in "a history of cardiac arrhythmias such as bradycardia", and that Quetiapine may cause "increased blood pressure in children and adolescents". This information can be found here: www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2013/020639s061lbl.pdf
Hope that helps!

Warm regards Dr kushal

I definitely recommend speaking to your doctor or pharmacist for the best information for your case, as these videos are meant only for educational purposes!
I been taling to sleep! My question is does it show up on a pre emplyment drug screen?
No
It’s scary stuff. I was on 25 mg for sleep, but I didn’t sleep, it turned me in to a zombie, I couldn’t think properly anymore. And I think it made my depression even worse. I am now on antidepressants (Mirtazapine) and low dose lorazepam (0,5 mg). I hope this works for me.
Thank you for sharing, please let me know how that goes for you.
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you are having better luck with Mirtazapine! Thank you for sharing.
Are quetapine qtipine antipychotic safe? My doctor told me to buy these he said i have anxiety disorder and he told me these were for sleeping should i take them? I researched about them having side effects and im scared to take them
That's a great question! The answer is really up to you and your doctor to decide. If you think that the potential benefits outweigh the potential side effects, then it might be something to try. Ultimately, the decision is up to you. Just remember that if you decide to start taking them, to follow the medication regimen closely.
I would maybe recommend speaking to others who have tried this drug, or to find some forums where people share their stories with it. Just remember that everyone can have very different reactions to these kinds of medications, and it may take a few attempts to find one that works best for you.
Good luck!
Stay away the trade off is not worth risking your life
Took me 2 years to get used to it...nightmares daily.. I prefer benzodiazepines but use at your own risk
I'm sorry to hear that! The side effects can make it a very difficult medication for many people. Thank you for sharing. Hope you have found something that works for you!
@@NurseRyan i got used to it..took me 2 years.
@@danipereldeepam3054 You prefer Benzo's until you have to stop or miss a day or more, there is a reason doctors don't want to prescribe Benzo's
@@juuk3103 been on them for the better part of the last 20 years. The benefits outweigh the risks as i feel my quality of life is better and holding down a job and relationships..i wouldnt be able ro without them
I’m on day 5 of this. Super low dose (25mg) but it’s been kicking my butt so far. Have had the worst stomach aches. I hope the side effects will go away
Ouch, I'm sorry to hear that Alli. I hope so too! You can never really know with these drugs.
Sorry to hear but you need natural cure look for out side help away from the evil docters i mean EVIL sorcerers
@@DanS117 and you need help from a therapist cause you’re crazy. It’s fine to take or not take meds. but the way you said your opinion is like your some obsessed 6th grade Harry Potter fan.
@@allimyers2433 have you researched what sorcery is why dont you look it up. Or are you convinced that these sick people are here too help if thses pills are good why effects nothing good as negative effects.
@@DanS117 it’s a choice. No one has to follow your opinion. If people say it works for them. Then let it be.
Only on day 3 and I feel absolutely awful but empty if that makes sense
Most should go over with time, hope you are okay now
Where is Quetiapine manufactured?
Can someone explain to me what this actually does? I'm prescribes it but mum won't give it to me
Hi Jessica, Quetiapine is basically thought to interact with some of the neurotransmitters in the brain to help treat various mental health issues. It can be used for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and more.
Keep in mind that it is not completely understood how Quetiapine works and it is not guaranteed to work for everyone, but it has been shown to be successful for treating various disorders.
Hope that helps!
@@NurseRyan thanks nurse Ryan a lot of people I see use it to help them sleep but with me it doesnt
I was on 600mg slept most of the time.now im 100mgs iv been on this medication for 10 years,
what are the long term effects of being on it this long??
After how many days your Dr used to reduce your dosage of this drug.?
organ failure, especially the heart and kidneys
My Dr gave them to me to help stop my leg spazems 😂🤣 Made it 200% worse!
My Dr is a quack and a half.
Was his Guinea pig for 3 years, all I ever asked for was Diazepam.
I finally get it from him but 2mg isn't enough.
Why do doctor's ALMOST NEVER listen to their patients? 🤔
At least now I sleep longer than 4 hour's.
I'm sorry to hear that! That sounds awful. I hope you were able to get everything sorted out for your situation
@@NurseRyan I'm slowly getting there through a 3rd person speaking on my behalf.
My question was, I know my body and I tell them what has and hasn't worked and EVERY TIME they don't listen and try different thing's that either make the pain worse or make me not sleep that all result in my original problem getting worse and worse (l4,l5 need fusing) I don't take pain medication as EVERYTHING they give me is more addictive and dangerous than the simple low dose codeine and 5mg Diazepam that worked for 6 year's UNTILL I MOVED now I put up with this every visit for the past 9 year's.
I literally lost my family from it.
They think I'm a drug addict judging by my looks, bagy pants (my hips constantly hurt), eyebrow ring(had it since I was 13yo), usually not shaven(back usually can't handle it) my daughter's names tattooed on my kneck(can't be employed may as well), and tattoo's on my hand, a rose, a feather and a PlayStation symbol because I'm a top 5% world wide gamer.
Please answer my question... And thank you for your reply...
Any positive side effects?
Sadly there are many negative side effects to antipsychotic drugs!
Today I was extremely doped with 50mg, , more than 25. The solution will be to cut the 25 pill in half. Totaling 12.5mg. Who knows, maybe I will tolerate the sedation better
Thank you for sharing! Hope it worked out well
Quetiapine good for schizophrenia and bipolar. But don't take for sleep, use antihistamines
Thank you for sharing! Quetiapine is sometimes used for insomnia as an off-labeled use, but there are almost always better alternatives for insomnia.
Why do I feel high on these meds?
Seroquel is thought to act on dopamine and serotonin receptors, which may lead to side effects like drowsiness, dizziness, etc. However, it is still not known exactly how the drug works! I would recommend speaking to your primary healthcare provider or pharmacist for more information
Thank you I did, they took me off
Def feel high so I take 2 right when I realize I’m scrolling too much on my phone in bed.
Iniinom ko din to 25mg lang sobrang sakit ng likod ko tsaka ulo kinabukasan tapos nilamig pa ako nung gabi😢
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you find something that works well for you!
Am i poisoned? Yes i'm a seroquel XR patiënt. I swallow 800 Mg XR seroquel for 2 decades is 20 years. Congratulations i'm still alive and i'm still feeling mentally good. I'm addicted to seroquel XR. A high dose each day. I'm a machine.
I'm sorry that this happened to you. I hope you are doing better these days.

Really? How do you sleep
@@derekmarks8969 with sleeping pills from my pill doctor
I am delivering a sermon to you 🙏😊 please read
Consistently Pray for forgiveness, guidance in a good (positive) direction, and for help against evil. Pray to be saved from hell (whatever that may be). Pray for your friends and your family too, it only takes a minute or so/less at a time to pray. Do it and your life will slowly get better, or maybe quickly. It probably just depends on you and the kind of person you are/have been. Don't wait until its too late and you have to suffer the consequences of built up bad karma from immoral acts/unrepented sins. Maybe together we can help make the world a better place by changing ourselves for the better, and changing things around us for the better.
And addressing/thanking the CREATOR, LORD GOD at the beginning and end of your prayers would be a good idea 😊
Or just be my friend if you don't want to say the prayer 😄
I'm trying to help you get right with the LORD 🙏
Amen.
I have worded a short prayer for you to say if you are not sure what words to use, it may not be the best but here it is 😊
'' CREATOR, LORD GOD,
Please forgive me and my friends and my family for our immoral acts, please help guide us in a positive direction and please help us against evil. Please save us from Hell and have mercy on our souls. Thank you CREATOR, LORD GOD. Amen. ''
Please say this at least once a day for at least a month, do it longer if you want to and can 🙏
You should prostrate yourself if you don't want to do spoken prayer, or do both 🙏🙏🙏🙏😊 Please worship the LORD GOD and not any idol.
Please put your hands together 🙏 bow your head and say this prayer:
"CREATOR, LORD GOD, please know that I worship you and not any idols. Thank you for everything CREATOR, LORD GOD. Amen"
Say ' Om Namah Shivaya ' out loud or in your head 108 times, or try to do it 1008 times 😊 try to do it everyday if you want
repeat this aloud for as long as you want to, try to do it for like an hour a day or say it in a prayer "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner"
You can also say this prayer once a day or repeat it aloud as many times as you would like to:
"Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen."
Thessalonians 5:16-18
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
"O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!" Repeat this aloud at least 3 times or as many as you want, do it everyday if you can
I apologize for all the words 😊 I know how it may look

It has more side effects than benefit bullshit
Hi, I agree.
I have been dying from Seroquel since I was 15.
@@petitecheriecocoenrose7256 Need a bit of context there please
I disagree it obviously varies from person to person, Quetiapin for me personally doesn't have any side effects except for being drowzy and is why I take them before bed and also slight weight gain, but i was already too skinny. But it's better than Benzo's and they don't make you addicted like Benzodiazepins do
@@petitecheriecocoenrose7256 Have you tried other options?
@@juuk3103 They're dead, now. Died, aged 15 & 1 day
This drug is devil
Can be yep.
Why
No it has helped many people, some are unlucky and are part of the 5% that have some of the rare side effects, i recommend anyone reading RUclips comments to listen to their doctors over anyone, you can find good/bad stories about all medication guys, and the ones that comment the most often had bad experiences
@@juuk3103 rare side effects??? Where are you getting this information from?? Where did you get 5% from?? I think you are just spewing bullshit....Just because it works for you (as it has for me) doen't mean it's safe...Do some real research. Change my mind
