Hi everyone: I have been diagnosed as BiPolar w/PTSD and generalized anxiety. I have been prescribed 800 mg of Epival per day together with 50mg of Zoloft at a total of 400mgs of seroquel at night.
I have noticed that since taking the seroquel, I have gained a *massive* amount of weight and also suffer from excessive (and I mean *excessive* perspiration, shortness of breath and lower back/hip pain and stiffness. I've also experiences some tremors and am concerned that this can become permanent.
My therapist states the sweating could be because of my weight, as could my lower back pain/stiffness.
Has anyone else experienced these kinds of side effects? Do they go away when ceasing seroquel? Is there another sleep/antipsychotic medication I can request? Many, many thanks!
