"i have had depression since i was a child but i didn&#039;t start getting help for it until i was 19. i have tried prozac and celexa which did nothing for me and then my doctor asked me if i have ever heard of a medicine called seroquel xr. i started out on 50mg and then worked my way up to 300mg. the only side effects for me were weight gain and drowsiness but the drowsiness went away after a couple of months of using this medicine. overall i really like this medicine. it has helped me tremendously!"
