"i&#039;ve been on seroquel for 5 years. i hated it at first because i was only in 7th grade, weighed only 130lbs and was on 900mg. when i first took it i slept for three and a half days. now it gives me this horrible urge to eat and i can&#039;t stop. a few years back it was lowered to 600mg (still a little to high for my liking) but it has helped with my bipolar and my impulses. it does actually help but avoid being on such a high dose."
