I was told by a marine recruiter that it does. ## I would think yes since it is a medication made to treat people that have bipolar disorder. Didn't the recruiter tell you that you can't be on any medications or anything like that? I know this because I was going to join and I'm on antidepressants and a friends of mine had to go off his Ritalin in order to join too. I personally thinks it's stupid to make someone have to go off medications they were prescribed by a doctor just because they want you to be perfect and crazy enough to shoot to kill if they send you into war. ## As a former recruiter, you will be automatically disqualified if you tell them that you are bipolar. Also, you have to be off all meds (except birth control) for 2 years. ## Not true. I haven't b...

Hi, Im a 23yr old female, have been taking Seroquel for about 2 months now. I had anxiety, racing thoughts, overthink, and couldnt sleep some nights, so my doctor prescribed me this. After a breakup and miscarraige it helped me get my life back together, I can think so clearly now and am so much happier within myself. It has stabilzed my moods! I want to get off it because the side effects I have read scare me - diabetes, insomnia etc + the groggy mornings are hard but do-able. Soo last night I didnt take it, had an OK sleep, waking up every couple of hours but this morning I have anxiety back and dont know what to think. Is it possible you can get psychologically addicted to it? I dont want to stop taking it because its worked wonders in my life, but I know its not good for me and the ...

Is it just for mental issues? Do people abuse it? ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? According to the databases, this tablet is listed as containing 50mgs of Quetiapine, which is an atypical antipsychotic and no, it is not commonly abused, because there would be no purpose for doing so. It doesn't cause a high or anything. Typical side effects are listed as nausea, dizziness, weight changes and sedation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Wow the question was whatt is it ,why all the aggressive behavior be nice everyone will benefit including you lol but thanks for the imput . just so you know im a concerned aunt and im trying to be smart and be informed ,pehaps you should take a break sounds to me like you could use it just saying??

Are there any antipsychotic medication that a man could take that doesn't cause impotence. On both abilify and xeplion at different times I was unable..... Are their any men out there who have been able to start a family while taking antipsychotics ? Please respond if you have. As this matter is of great importance to me. Thank you. ## There is no way to give a definitive answer to this question, because everyone is different, so not everyone experiences such side effects, according to NIH reports. If they are causing your severe problems, you should speak to your physician about trying a different medication. Which other ones have you tried? ## I'm not sure if the side effect of impotence differs from taking antipsychotics in different men. The side effect of weight gain for in...

I'm under treatment for schizophrenia. I take 300mgs of Sulpitac & 100mgs of Quatapin daily at night. I was on this dose for the last 3-4 years. I'm 40yrs. I'm a mother of a 11yr old son. I have a very handsome & attractive husband who demands a lot. My mental health restored greatly but my monthly periods stopped & I started having milk in my breasts with painful dilated ducts. I also have absolutely lost all of my libido. Apart from it recently I have been experiencing severe Migraine attacks. It's triggered by negligible quantities of some of the food I take in as well.. Theses attacks are unbearable & now they come very frequently. I'm a teacher. It affects my carrier as well. Please advise me if this is due to Quatapin? ## Hello, Anne! How are yo...

When I was on Zyprexa my semen was off in a way. When I was on Abilify and it was watery. And when I was on Xeplion there is nothing at all. Is it possible for men on antipsychotic medication to help create babies? Are there any men out there who have done so while on antipsychotic meds? I would love to hear from you. Thanks in advance.

Is schizophrenia a known side effect of seroquel? ## Seroquel contains the active ingredient Quetiapine. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, sedation and weight gain. You can read more on this drug here: Are there any other questions? ## I have been on seroquel for years and I have noticed that if I don't sleep well I feel nauseous the next day.

Well when I was first introduced into invega I had just finished a season of work in a different province and I had moved into an apartment with a roommate who I thought was a friend. Literally as soon I entered that apartment I started hearing voices. (i will say this though. I was claiming unemployment from a relatives address) anyways I move in this apartment and I hear myself being called a confident prick and that there has been a breech. Ironically my roommate was an initiate free mason and as the story goes.. I one day noticed my wallet was missing. I distinctively remember putting it on a stand in the living room and then later falling asleep. (also I was sleeping on an air mattress and not on the lease hehe.) so I wake up and notice my wallet is gone. My apparent roommate whom ...

My sister was just put on this drug... She is bi-polar and in a comatose state, not eating, sleeping, ect...Are these possible side effects? She was also put on Latuda. ## Risperdal is well known to cause severe sedation, according to the FDA and my own experience, when my ex-husband was put on it. All he did was sleep, it was horrible. And yes, the Latuda can also cause similar side effects, according to NIH reports. Has her doctor been consulted? Her doses might be too high.

I started talking 5 mg Saphris ten days ago and now have insomnia that has gotten worse. I have epilepsy and am seizure free but take three primary medications. Lamitical 800 mg (400 mg AM and 400 mg afternoon), Aptiom 500mg afternoon, and Clonazepam 2 mg at night for sleep. Last night I skipped the 5 mg and am going to start taking it in the mornings. At least my Clonazepam knocked me out as usual but I woke up at 3:30 AM and can't get back to sleep. Can someone give me advice? ## I would say persist with Saphris. The insomnia will pass in a few weeks.The benefis of a clearer mind outweigh the costs. For the time being if you get at least 4 hours sleep and are not too tired during the day you should be ok. Just be careful driving or using machinery. ## That is a known side effect o...

I was prescribed 25mg Quetiapine, because I was still going down-hill with depression, and it seemed to do the trick. However, in a bid to save NHS money, my psychiatrist decided that the dose was so small (he claimed that it was almost 'homeopathic') that I should stop taking it. I did, and after one week, I was having hallucinations, and after 2 weeks I was having a major psychiatric episode, and my wife wanted to stick me in the local unit. She got my GP to put me back on it, and, after a few weeks, I was back to 'normal'. My haematologist reckons that my daily chemo for leukaemia increases the effect of Quetiapine ## Hello, Richard!

I have found recently information on the net about the harmful effects of evening primrose oil when taken with stelazine. I was surprised that there is no mention of this on the information leaflet that comes with stelazine. Apparently the combination of the these two products can cause seizures.
