"i&#039;ve been taking seroquel for 8 years.  yes it puts you to sleep.  yes it makes you dumber. yes it makes your body hurt.  it changes your body so much.  i can&#039;t sleep without it but i wish i&#039;d never started on psych meds. i now have chemical dependencies on the medication and problems that i can&#039;t fix and doctors don&#039;t want to help with because they&#039;re just side effects of the medications. be strong.  learn to stand on your own especially if you&#039;re in your teens or twenties.  doctors and drug companies do not have your best interest in mind.  they want you to be slave to their services and products.  i have migraines 3 or 4 times a week for the last 6 years and the doctors tell me is because i smoke cigarettes.  bs"
