i started taking seroquel 4 years ago and soon after beginning seroquel use I started suffering accute pancreatittis attcks. I’ve now had at least 8 maybe 10 accute pancreatitis attacks and my pancreas is now compltely disfunctional and I have to take creon just to be able to eat. I just saw a tv add about this two days ago and immediately called my prescribing physician who wasn’t even aware of the pancreatic/diabetes side effects.

I have been taking Seroquel for the past five (5) years. My current dose is 50mg/AM and 400mg/PM.
I noticed movement problems withing 6 months of being on the medication. I reported what I can best describe as body fluttering. I also reported that my scalp moves frequently. My reports were always attributed to some other ailment. The movement problems have become worse. At first is was the right side of my body–jerking limbs and difficulty grasping with my hand. I thought I was in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease. Overtime, the body jerking now affects my entire body. Determined to obtain a diagnosis, I carefully reviwed the side effects of all of my medications. This review lead me to Seroquel. I am relieved about Parkinson’s even though I am not comfortable with Tardia…
I am do not want to discontinue the Seroquel do to its effectiveness. My pronosis is ????able

I took seroquel for a while and the whole time I felt worse than I did to start I couldnt eat half the time and the other time I was just plain vomiting all the time I gained a lot of weight and either went from one extreme to the next no sleep or all sleep… It makes me wonder are all medications eventually bad what is really safe anymore.

I took 100 mg of Seroquel beginning April 2003, and stop taking it April 2004. By December 2004, i was diagnois with type II diabetes. I had no idea I was sick until I couldnt hold down water. I went to the local emergency room, and my sugar was 881 and i lost eye sight. I had perfect vision before. I been taking inslin needles every since. I still suffer with not sleeping well, but couldnt a single doctor pay me to take Seroquel. I dont take anything to help me sleep now.
