I have been on seroquel for about four years. Its worked great in controling my bipolar manic symptoms. However it can cause your cholesterol rise. So its recommended to get your cholesterol levels checked while on seroquel.

I've been on seroquel now for about 3 months. I've heard horror stories of weight gain, and other health problems, so far i've only had 2 problems.

1) while going onto it i had severe mood swings

2) EXTREME sleepiness and difficulty waking up when i first started it.


other than that its been a miracle worker for me. i feel so much better.
