I've been on Seroquel for over a year now with dosages ranging from 25mg to 300mg. I'm bipolar and also take Lamictal. I had just finished two years without a manic episode before having a horrible episode last week which landed me in the hospital for 3 days. Prior to that I was taking 50 to 100mg at night depending on how badly I felt I needed to be "knocked out"....
Anyway after my nightmare last week I'm back up to 200mg of Seroquel at night. Honestly for me it's never effected my libido at all. SSRIs, Trazadone, and a number of other meds have killed my interest in sex or ability to orgasm. Perhaps I'm just lucky Seroquel doesn't have that effect for me but it definitely doesn't......I've also been fortunate not to have crazy weight gain with it as some people seem to report.
I may be an anomaly but this is my experience. For me it's the best "sleep" med I've been on....
Best wishes,
-Jay
