Happpy 5 Posted March 28 Hi, Can anyone share his or her experience with me? In how many days Quetiapine adjusts and sets with our body? For example, we take escitalopram. It takes 7 to 11 days to adjust in our body and then side effects disappear. I don't know what we says this process in medical. So, I'm asking same thing about Quetiapine. Kindly help as early as possible. It's my day 2 with quetiapine prescribed by my doctor. Regards, 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sober4life 32,884 Posted March 31 The side effects never went away for me when I was taking it. You pretty much feel like doing nothing but sleeping and eating everything in the house the whole time you're on it. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is so sad for me that your side effects were never gone while taking Quetiapine. I would talk to my doctor if side effects don't go away. I'm at house on holidays. It means, antipsychotics never set in your body like antidepressants? Am I right @sober4life ? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sober4life 32,884 Posted April 1 Well everyone is different I suppose. I guess my question would be what do you want from this medication? What are you expecting things to be like? If all you want is help with anxiety or sleep then yes it can do that. I wouldn't recommend it for much else. This is one of those meds that can put on tremendous amounts of weight and destroy your overall physical health in a very short time. It's a risk I wouldn't take. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackTheBiscuit 1 Posted April 3 About 4 days Hopefully you started on small dose 50mg then you can increase gradually You probably felt like a zombie at first 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happpy 5 Posted April 6 Yes I've started 25mg. Its my 9th day but I have still tremendous amount of side effects. When will it be set with my body? This is my question. I'm in trouble. Confused! Help me please. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
