This pill is most certainly not the shit. I don't know how this drug has such a modern image when it's complete shit. The side effects I can't really comment on, except for one: sedation. If your doctor put you on this he seriously wants you to stfu. This drug makes people so tired it's insanity. 100mg of this and you'll drift off for hours. It might help if you can't sleep but be aware it's addicting. They don't put this on the label, but I'm 100% certain the body becomes dependant on it for sleep. If you can't get it, then you'll lie awake in a manic state all night. The best way to deal with this, is to take some antihistamine sleeping pills, and very slowly try to take yourself off them. I'm sure the drug company is aware how dependant people get and is making alot of money of people who got suckered and now take it just to sleep. It probably causes weightgain to, and there's some evidence it can cause cataracts. If you hear the drug name seroquel, realize that it's a drug which even in small doses will cause people to become snowed. If there's any youths out there who have parents making them take these mickey mouse drugs, then trust me on one thing; deal with your objection to your forced treatment now instead of when you're on your own. There is nothing modern about this drug, it's used to shut people up. This drug is so potent I'm sure it could be used to make people pass out. If I could go back to when I was taking this drug, I would have gave a dose to my dad and watched him pass the fuck out. The reality is, that no one will believe you about the sedation unless they experience it. They had me driving on this shit and I was fucked up. Oh and there's nothing enjoyable about being this tired, it's not relaxing!!
Please don't vote about this definition until you've taken at least 150mg of this drug or else you're probably still believing the marketing lies.

A common anti-psychotic. One of the many “keep you quiet” drugs frequently prescribed to both the mentally ill and patients who are in drug and alcohol treatment facilities (rehab).

From the seroquel.com website: “Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are two different mental disorders that affect millions of people in the United States. Seroquel
is a psychotropic medication shown to be effective in the treatment of many symptoms of schizophrenia, as well as in the treatment of acute mania associated with bipolar I disorder.”

A supposed mood-stabilizer (or anti-psychotic, at 800+ mgs) that seems to function by making people too tired to be emotional.

Prescription drug (Quetiapine), that have sometimes been used to "come down" off amphetamines. When used in this manner the slang term "downer" is often applied.

Street name: "quell" or also "Suzie-Q"

Supposedly an antipsychotic that can be used as legal replacement for ecstasy at low dosages or heroine, and Oxycontine at moderate dosages. Knocks the hell out of you at over 300 mg. It's very addictive, and produces synasthesia light show visuals, music takes an entire different meaning, as do colors. Makes you not care about anything, namely the "keep quiet drug", unless you mix with alcohol, in which case you may get anxiety, heart-beat issues. People do get suicidal once addicted though.

The thing is, it's as addictive as heroine or Oxycontin, and the withdrawal is equally as bad. You have to be sedated to come off, or take GABA powder to offset the anxiety, OCD, coprolalia, itchiness, insomnia, chills, nightsweats, cataracts, hot flashes, migraine, depression, loss of appetite, dehydration, bowels constriction, throwing up, nausea, dizziness, moodiness, heart rate speeding up/down issues. Also the symptoms may come and go for up to 2 years. Smoke marijuana and/or cigars to get over the withdrawal, both really do help. If you can't do cigars, just stick with some mellow marijuana, otherwise, you will feel like crap. I smoked pot until I could completely get off it. Thankfully, I have never touched the stuff again, and don't ever want to. It's too addictive.

This drug contains DIBENZOA,IPYRENE] which causes cancer in adition to diabetes and obesity. This drug is another example of psychiatric genocide.

Garbage drug (dud) that doctors describe for you when they don't like you or when you are mentally ill or in rehab. It is not even good medicine for mentally ill people as it is uneffective and too sedative for day use.

Seroquel (non-XR) is short-acting (half-life 7h) meaning that receptors open and close all the time and this can cause damaging serotonin peaks in brain. Higher doses (>150mg) reduces bood flow to brain and lower doses increases it but if seroquel IR is taken once daily (as sleep aid) adrenergic receptors open and close all the time causing damaging fluctuations to blood/oxygen supply (to brain) and damage to bood vessels. Quick changes ind dosage are problematic because adrenergic system is now oversensitive causing further blood circulation problems to brains and organs (vasoconstriction).

Overall the drug just doesn't work well. All antidepressants used for sleep have usually much longer half-life. Adrenergic drugs must be stoppen gradually.

Use proper alpha blockers+antihistamine or antidepressant instead of seroquel. Extremely low doses (<25mg) can be used as antihistamine but why not use proper antihistamine instead.
