Libido loss effect of Seroquel

Hello dear suffering enjoyed in and comrades. No, I do not come from the former GDR, which would have to give me the chosen word jargon. I am a strong guy, in his mid-thirties, who has been taking the neuroleptic Seroquel for 10 years now. The concomitants are manifold. I previously weighed 85 kg at 1.90. Now the Seroquel and I have arrived at 115 kg in our 10 year old friendship, a good 30 kg more. This increase in weight manifests itself in a water and tissue fluid accumulation on the bellies. So I am visually pregnant and one assumes that I will overdo it with the evening beer. Furthermore, you should do some sports. That this with the sport is not so easy to implement, probably due to the inertia that prepares me the Quetiapin. Therefore, losing weight will probably remain a pious wish. Now to the other side effects briefly summarized: Sleep requirement of at least 10 hours, no more libido available, an erection is very difficult to get, partial loss of the previously existing self-confidence in this regard! Occasional tipping, in the form of amnesia and short unconsciousness during the day, but only for a fraction of a second, driving a feeling like being on a train, emotionally dying, difficulty remembering names and things. Why I still hold on to Seroquel I can tell you: My obsessive thoughts are gone, I can stand alone, I have no more casino and waste addiction, I am more positive towards people and I see women no longer as moaning sex object, but as People who are emotionally close to me and take me as I am. I think that Seruquel has saved my life and that by using this remedy in combination with Opipramol and Cipralex I no longer see life as a threat and the daily routine as terror, but finally find time and leisure, the really important beautiful things of life to have met. Love mentally distressed, there is nothing in life, especially not with neuroleptics and antidepressants. This medication can improve your life, but only if you can deal with the side effects as a necessary evil and get a positive attitude towards those.

Both drugs (Cipralex and Seroquel) were prescribed to me at the same time. Both were rapidly increased in dosage (Cipralex to 20mg and Seroquel to 50mg), but brought only slight improvement. Fairly severe side effects, especially total exhaustion, fatigue, weight gain, complete libido loss, extremely intense dreams, sweat attacks. Catastrophic withdrawal symptoms when not taking Cipralex for 5 days (dizziness, tinnitus, acute nausea, headache, irritability, etc.).

extremely much sleep, aggression, loss of libido, dry mouth, hair growth, lack of concentration, moodiness, suicidal thoughts, ….

With several years of taking Seroquel continuous, progressive decline in libido, severe sexual dysfunction. Slight weight gain with Seroquel, strong weight gain (10 kg) since additional treatment with Risperdal, since then also missed menstruation.
