Went on a long walk with my youngest today- even around in the new museum. I keep getting vertigo/dizziness. Nothing where I fall over or faint though. Do you think it could be the heat mixed with walking a lot? Or is it from the new Seroquel? My mouth is parched from the Seroquel since yesterday too. Its only 70 degrees here today.

These are very common side effects from the medication. Seroquel definitely causes me to get dry mouth, and dizziness is a big problem. In fact, out of every medication I've ever taken, I think Seroquel has caused me the worst dizziness of all (especially on high doses though or when first starting it). I no longer tolerate warm weather as well as I used to, and that could be due to the fact that it disrupts the body's ability to regulate temperature (there's heat warnings). Definitely stay hydrated and careful, especially as your body adjusts to it.

Probably both. Seroquel can make you heat sensitive and it can also make you dizzy. Try getting up slowly and resting more. Also of course, talk to your doctor. If you are taking it in the morning try to see if you can take it at night. Or at least, see if you can take a larger split at night. That might help.

I only take seroquel at bedtime because it definitely causes dizziness/drowsiness . Everytime I increased the dose it took a few days to get used to. Now I take 300mg and can function okay during the day but the effects are still there at night which is usually fine and it helps me sleep. I personally like this medication now but it was hard for my body to get used to. Hang in there and see if you can take it at night because it's easier that way.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
