Question 1

i took seroquel (quetiapine) for 5 months, i stopped taking it 6 months ago, yet, all of the side effects still remain, penis shrinkage, uncoordinated etc. why?

Accepted Answer

Possibly not related: If no Seroquel (quetiapine) for 6 months, yet have concerning symptoms, it is very unlikely that the Seroquel (quetiapine) had anything to do with those symptoms, EVEN IF they showed up at the same time as you started Seroquel (quetiapine).  Talk to your doctor, and reassess the entire picture of your health.  As an aside, more people with ADHD are finding that they may be gluten- or milk-intolerant; discuss a milk-gluten free diet.

Question 2

i took seroquel (quetiapine) for a while, i have noticed penis shrinkage, i also read about someone else with this problem. seroquel (quetiapine) cause vasoconstriction?

Accepted Answer

Not much evidence: I am not finding much quality evidence for this side effect you describe. I am seeing that Seroquel (quetiapine) can rarely cause painful or prolonged erections and difficulty obtaining erections, but nothing from reliable sources about decreased penis size. Plus, if you are no longer taking Seroquel (quetiapine) but still experiencing this, I would not blame the Seroquel (quetiapine) necessarily. Talk to your prescribing doctor.

Question 3

is it possible for seroquel (quetiapine) to cause penis shrinkage? i took it for 5 months, stopped it 5 months ago. now i have noticed a difference.

Accepted Answer

No: Taking Seroquel (quetiapine) should have no effect on the size of your penis

Question 4

when i take seroquel and other antipsychotics it shrinks my penis but taking geodon (ziprasidone) is fine. is there some sort of medical reason?

Accepted Answer

Makes no sense: Although Seroquel, Geodon (ziprasidone) and other second generation antipsychotics can cause sexual side effects such as decreased libido or achieving orgasm, they do not affect the size of the penis.  How has your sexual functioning been on such medications?  You list anxiety as one of your conditions.  If anxiety is severe enough, it can distort one's perception of body image.  Hope this is helpful.  Best.

Question 5

could quetiapine affect penile growth?

Accepted Answer

Quetiapine: should not impact the size of your penis.

Question 6

can geodon (ziprasidone) cause voices? as soon as the voices started i got penile numbness. taper off seroquel celexa. taking ativan to sleep along with geodon (ziprasidone).

Accepted Answer

Not cause, but: This medication is meant for severely psychotic Schizophrenic symptoms. Hearing voices would be a strong possibility for these people and it might not be easy to untangle the illness from side effects since I've heard that 'voices' can be more noticed on the drug. Definitely talk to your Dr. Don't self-manage meds - ever! They need to be responsible to you. You deserve good care. I hope you get it

Question 7

does seroquel (quetiapine) make your pupil, s dialiate or constric?

Accepted Answer

Not proven: Ocular side effects have included amblyopia (2%). Conjunctivitis, abnormal vision, dry eyes, blepharitis, eye pain, abnormality of accommodation, and glaucoma have also been reported; however, causality has not been established. One case of cataracts has been reported. One case of photopsia has been reported.  www.drugs.com.

Question 8

can you work on quetiapine (seroquel)?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Depends on the status of the underlying condition it's being used to treat as well as the type of work being performed. All medications are ultimately used to manage medical and/or mental health conditons such that the individual's functioning (eg ability to work, etc) is sustained/restored. In general, quetiapine in of itself does not automatically preclude one from working.

Question 9

advice about seroquel (quetiapine) xr?

Accepted Answer

Seroquel (quetiapine) XR: Seroquel (quetiapine) xr can work well for schizophrenia, bipolar, bipolar depression and adjunctive depression treatment. It can cause sedation so it is typically given a few hours before bedtime. I sometimes say take it at 7pm to be up by 7 am. It is similar to seroquel (quetiapine) (not xr) which is now generic. For some individuals it can cause weight gain. Discuss any concerns with your doctor.

Question 10

what happens when you take seroquel (quetiapine)?

Accepted Answer

Seroquel (quetiapine): U calm down, fall asleep, and wake up hungry, depending on the dose.
