Advice & Tips
This treatment works very well for me. I'd recommend it if you're having mood swings, or insomnia. Some professionals say it makes you gain weight. However, the opposite happened to me when I took it before- I lost somewhere around 20 lbs. ! But I was a kid when I first took seroquel, so I don't know what to expect now that I'm taking it again as an adult. It could be different when given to certain people and age groups.

Advice & Tips
It takes a while for your body to get use to it. It messes with your sleep until you get regulated and it takes a while and I wanted to stop it. However, I am glad I did not because it has been the best medication for my mood and depression that I have ever been on. I have been on all of them!
