In reply to My dr. has ordered me to take Seroquel.. LOL, posted by Spriggy on April 5, 2005, at 17:54:04
Spriggy, if it is not something to do with your thyroid (or maybe even if it is) Seroquel can help with blood sugar. For me, this has been another great benefit. I used to be all shaky and feel kinda weird (which sometimes lead to a full-blown panic attack) because of blood sugar levels late in the morning before lunch and sometimes before dinner almost every day. This has only happened maybe a couple of times since I went on Seroquel. It is soooo nice not to feel like that everyday. Neither 25mg or 50mg is a high dose, so you probably won't have the munchies that people on higher doses sometimes experience. So it is unlikely that you will get fat on this - just fyi in case you were concerned about the other side of the weight issue.
Also, try not to be concerned if this dose isn't enough for you. If you trust your doctor, then trust your instincts in trusting him/her. It is a good sign that he is doing tests to rule out physical imbalances. If you don't trust your doc, find another one. You are the person that has to live with your treatment plan.
