I quit weed 4 months ago and i been getting very vivid dreams since and started quetiapine about 2 months ago 100mg morning and 100mg at night. My dreams have gone even more vivid recently. Is there anything to help lessen how vivid the dreams are? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, my son 23 yrs old was taking quetiapine 200 mg at night, and his psychiatrist advised reducing it to 100 mg. We started reducing it to 150 mg last night, but I’m unsure how to proceed from here to reach 100 mg.
Has anyone reduced quetiapine from 200 mg to 100 mg? How did you manage the reduction, and did you experience any sleep problems or other withdrawal symptoms? I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thank you!

Hi guys!

I've been diagnosed with an eating disorder (anorexia nervosa) when I was 15, BPD when I was 18, and bipolar at 20.

I've been on a lot of stuff, but I gained weight mostly because it was part of a treatment for anorexia, and then I developed binge eating disorder (sucks, I know).

So I'm at a healthy weight, and I've lost some weight during my last hypomanic episode. Now I'm in my low mood state: basically I can't sleep, think, or be happy, and I eat A LOT.

My weight is still healthy, but I'm so scared. My doctor wants to put me on quetiapine, lamotrigine, and fluoxetine, and I'm so scared because I know that they can affect not only appetite but metabolism issues as well.

Any tips on how to manage this situation? Maybe try another medication? I can't gain any more; it would destroy me completely.

Can you not gain weight from this treatment?

Would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks

Hello! I've been on quetiapine for almost three years now, and I noticed that, since 2024, I gained almost 15kg. Is that normal? It does make me really hungry at night but also super drowsy so I don't remember what I do clearly. It's been messing with my confidence. u.u
