Seroquel Discrimination

MANY PEOPLE DONT LIKE SEROQUEL. THE REASON IS THAT THEY TRY TO USE IT RECREATIONALLY. IF YOU USE IT FOR WHAT YOUR SUPPOSED TO, [LIKE ME AND MY INSOMNIA] IT REALLY WORKS WELL.

It actually is prescribed to me for insomnia. At night I have racing thoughts. Seroquel shuts my head off so I can sleep. If you do have schizophrenia or bipolar disorder then you may not feel these effects of tiredness and dizzyness. But when you don't, it knocks you out.
I have many friends that know I am prescribed to it and they used to always ask me for some. People like to feel tired and woozy I suppose.
Hope this was a little help.

Various mental health medications are used to treat insomnia in people with issues such as you've described, racing thoughts can be really debilitating.

I've never heard of it being abused, but I wouldn't be surprised that some people like it for its sedative like effects.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, weight changes, and mood changes.
