Is Seroquel putting me at risk of diabetes?!
Question: Hi
I began taking this medication about a month ago.
I began taking half a tablet of 200mg before bedtime and I have now moved up to taking one whole 200mg tablet.
How do I know if I am at risk of getting diabetes?
I am 21 yrs. old and I go to the gym three to four times a week. Is there a symptom I would feel if I am getting diabetes?
Please, anyone with experience on this medication or knowledge of the medication or diabetes itself.

I don't know about the risks for diabetes, but I would quit taking it immediately and switch to something else.
By the way did your doctor tell you that Seroquel is Synthetic Heroin...minus the opi's. It is also addictive. I took that stuff for a year. When I tried to stop taking it it took me 7 months to be able to sleep properly.
Yes as My husband takes it and so does my husband he had for 5 years! and no diabetes. and I used to take it we are all over weight and no problems. they take blood to test you. o and my son takes it to since he was 3 years old!!!! hes almost 10 now!
I've been on Seroquel for 2 yrs w/ no ill effects. My best friend was on it for 4 years & now has diabetes. She feels that the Seroquel is what caused it. Make sure that your doc is monitoring your blood sugar. You should have your blood checked once every six mos.
