Can seroquel be addictive?

if you are talking about the antidepressent, then yes. once you start one, you have to ween off to stop. your mind becomes addicted to it. you can find all the information you need about antidepressents and their risks, side effects, ect.. on webmd.com.

You are taking seroquel proabably.  Getting fat is just one of the lovely side effects of this.  There is no way to counter this side effect.  Excercise might help some.  Take a little walk each day.

Well first of all it happens as a side effect of the medications you take. My bf has schizo-affective disorder and a year ago he was on seroquel together with abilify, but i remember that seroquel made him sooooo sleepy, he was doped all the time, he could sleep any time in the day and night, it was horrible. If he wasn't getting enough sleep (what meant 13 hours per day) he was very cranky! Your side effects could be because of the seroquel too, but any hard medications makes a person feel like that. He is off seroquel and only on abilify now, but he is still a sleepyhead, not as he used to be (thank god) but still is a bit. Try talking to your psychiatrist about the problem of sleepiness, and maybe she/he reduces some of the meds that cause it. I guess there is no other way, since being doped is stronger then any wish to stay awake. However, don't try messing around the dosage or cutting any meds on your own! Please go to the doc and let him decide for the best! Good luck!

she would see things differently, only people she can really talk with semi-honestly are those that are addicted as well. Every thought and action she would have would be related to getting high. It is the only reason she gets out of bed. And should she not use then she is sick so sick worse than you could hopefully imagine. That is for startes....

Not addicted but I certainly think about it a lot. haven't experienced it in over six years (No small thanks to Zoloft!) but I don't particularly miss it. Only want it within the context of a loving relationship!

toradol is an addictive substance, however just getting a single shot is not going to cause addiction.  even two or three. actually one of the most addictive substances is nicotine. check that out.  toradol is a pain killer, thus a narcotic and ALL narcotics have addictive qualities.  becoming addicted to a narcotic has many physiologic and psychologic ramifications.  so anwering your question specifically depends on your use, your age, your dosage, your proclivity to addiction, and a few other things.

Yeah, me too, I started useing it awhile back, a couple of years ago actually. But before I knew it I was taking them faithfully, couldnt even think of bed without popping one first, then I realized I was becoming addicted, didnt know if it  was physical addiction or psychological but definetly a problem.  Now I use exercise and warm milk

The answer is yes.  However you cannot choose whether to become addicted or not.  Eventually your body would feel that it cannot preform the same without it.  The whole situation is a very slippery slope and i would not reccomend it.

Look up Ibogaine.  For treatment of withdrawals from meth,horoine, etc I know someone who took it.  It is a hallucinagin (sp) but is non addicting.  It can be purchased in Canada.  I have witnessed someone trying the treatment.  In fact, last week.\n\nBy the way, good luck.  I believe you are not exagerating when you call it torment.

If you are taking these medications, and found assistance for Lexapro, I'm surprised you don't have one for Seroquel.  Your doctor should have been able to help you there.  One, your doctor might be able to give you some sample packets.  Two, I receive assistance (for Seroquel) from a company called AstraZeneca.  I had to fill out some papers  to "qualify", but I don't have to pay for the Rx.  Blasted drug companies!!  It's all so expensive.  Ask your doc. or check this company on line.

Doctors prescribe it cause it really helps alot of people but as they are taking it. it becomes highly addictive..\nAnd you cant just get off of something that is so strong as that it could make you go very crazy so they usually just stay on it \ni knew someone who was on it she is off of it now though
