What is this drug and what is it used for?

Question

*Sorry For the Spelling Mistakes*

On the 24 someone gave me some prescription dugs(pills) that were called (Seroquel) and he said that it was sleeping pills and i took four and within forty-five minutes i was helping some friends with a cow and i stoped and i was leaned againts a pole and then i felt like i was going to passout but i didnt think it would really happend so i thought nothing of it but then like one minute i reamember feeling like i was falling.
So then I woke up and there was the persons son right over me saying that i just fell and i dont even reamber hitting the floor and it didnt even hurt but when you pass out do you feel it when you hit the ground?
Well i was thinking that it was the pills that made me passout. Do you think that is was the pills or something else? And what so the pills do and what are they used for? I hope this made sense.

Answer 1

Sounds like "terminal stupidity" to me.

Are you CRAZY?? Taking someone else's prescription medicine?? You are lucky that you didn't have a stroke or seriously injure yourself.

Don't do that again, okay?

"Hey, we yell because we care"---sound familiar?

Answer 2

Julianne--stop taking pills you don't know anything about. Seroquel (generic: Quetiapine) is a powerful antipsychotic used for the treatment of acute manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder. You don't want to mess with it because it can mess with you.

The symptoms you report are a few of seroquel's many side effects. When rising from a sitting or lying position, it can make you dizzy enough to pass out. If you're as diabetic, it can put you into insulin shock.

See the link below for more info. Meanwhile, stick to beer.

Answer 3

Well obviously they are sleeping pills. I am wondering if this kid played a prank on you.

And no, when you passout you don't feel anything. I passed out once, andI broke things but didn't feel/remember it.

When you have sleeping pills, you are suppose to have them a little while before you go to bed and not do anything. Otherwise, things like that happen. They are for people that have an extremely hard time sleeping, and they say that you should give yourself at least 8 hours after you use them, to sleep.

Answer 4

Seroquel is a drug used for controlling mood disorders such as the manic phase that sometimes occurrs with persons who are bipolar and people that are schizophrenic. It is also use in people with severe anxiety. It works by balancing certain neurotransmitters in the brain.
it's probably not the best thing to take for insomnia/sleeplessness
i would recommend benadryl which is available over the counter or maybe try to get a prescription for ambien or lunesta.

Answer 5

Seroquel is definitely not a sleeping pill so if I were you I wouldn't believe that person again. That is a medication used to treat bipolar disorder. Here is a link I think you should check out.

Answer 6

seroquel is a drug used to treat Bi-Polar and schitzophrenia. this is not something to be taken if you are not diagnosed with it. ESPECIALLY 4 of them you could have done some real damage to yourself. they are NOT sleeping pills. and if they were sleeping pills why would you take 4? some sleeping pills contain acetaminophen which is tylenol. if you took 4 tylenol at once you could have over dosed.

Answer 7

Seroquel is a medication for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. I was prescribed some but I had to stop taking it because of how sleepy it made me.

Answer 8

Seroquel is often used in rehabs for anxiety. You cant sit still when you are coming off of something and it will knock you out - Good Night!
