The Seroquel was been prescribed for me because of high blood pressure. I have already passed 3 and half months taking the drug. I am 23 years old, and because of my age my blood pressure wasn’t too high but my doctor was concerned. This is why I was given half of 25 mg for each night. My blood pressure dropped and I was able to sleep at night since I had insomnia problem. However, I do suffer depression and the medicine seems to make the matter worse. Another problem is that I have gained weight even if I diet and exercise. The weight is not able to go away which reduces my sex drive.
I have been using this medication to prevent the migraine for 3 years now. The headaches have been lessened and I was happy that my friend talked to me about the how Seroquel helps with headaches. I get a great relief. At the beginning I had some problem with adjustment with this medicine. But after someday I get relief of all bad side effects and headaches. If anyone is same problem like me I will suggest everyone to try this medicine. As it’s very tough to live with headache all the time. But still its batter to take medicine after consulting with a good doctor.
The doctor gave me this medication because of high blood pressure. Seroquel has worked well with me and my dosage is high as it should be. But the problem is that my heart rate goes up at night and it becomes hard for me to sleep. Most of the time because of this I can’t have a sound sleep and all day long I had to suffer for not having a sound sleep. But after taking this am getting well slowly and hope to get in full health very soon. My doctor is helping me a lot regarding this matter.
