Seroquel and other antipsychotics are causers of diabetes in some people. So you have to watch your blood sugar readings, and A1C's carefully to see if you are affected.

Also this heart warning has to be monitored:

Using Seroquel for "sleep" was a sales pitch started when the warnings for other indications came out. Really there are safer ways to get sleep support.

There are also warnings for the elderly... so depending on your age, you can look into that on Google.

I think it is reprehensible that Seroquel was promoted to doctors for improved sleeping.

You can read more about it here:

Do not discontinue Seroquel suddenly...it must be tapered, with physician support and supervision.

Wellbutrin is not listed on PN drug warning lists. However, some people become nervous on the higher doses, and it can affect the heart in higher doses in some people. Some people do find it works however for PN pain relief. Some of our members have used it.
