User Comments about Seroquel
17 Jun 2011 What started as immediate Mild RLS at 50 mg increased rapidly to severe spams in legs, arms and face at 200mg. Severe irritability and light sensitivity. Increased thirst, hunger, urination. By the end of the fourth week, I felt like there was a huge lump in my throat and my neck was very stiff. I lowered the dosage over the fifth week and stopped taking i one week ago. I'm still having the problems but not as severe. In the 5 weeks I took the medicine, I gained 16 pounds. I went to the doctor yesterday and she switched me to Saphris.

05 May 2011 Seroquel seems to offer a more potent knockout than street dope, if you enjoy that sort of thing.
