Hi all,
I am mostly in anxiety forum and have serious sleeping problems .My doc advised me to take seroquel 50 mg and off and on been on it for several months now.

I am worried as it has affected my vision and cant read when i get up for few hours.

I am hungover like drunk and whole day I tumble on things and bump myself.

I am filled with bruises.

Either my spatial perception or cognition or optical nerve is getting affected.

Thats a known side efeect but I have chronic insomnia and after Ambian nothing works on me.

i am hooked on to seroquel and cannot get off it .

Has anyone experienced what i explain or similar.

what should i do~i cannot try new meds as i get anxiety attacks .

thanks .. yeah

Hi Cilly,

Drowsiness and feeling like you might pass out are side effects of Seroquel. Is the dosage too high for you? You have to be careful if you are falling and bumping into things. This sounds serious.

Please contact your doctor immediately and let them know about what has been happening. They would be the best person to advice you.

Keep us updated on how it goes.

The only side affect for that med that I saw that you have is dizziness.

I didn't see blurred vision. You can check in the search engine by typing in the name of the medicine and see what you might find.

I only took Seroquel for a week or two, but didn't notice blurred version.

As far as sleep, I take Melatonin from the net or health food store.

How did things go with your doc?

Change can be tough, but sometimes it is needed to find the right medication or the right dosage.

I hope you are doing okay.

YA
