Astra Zeneca’s popular schizophrenia drug Seroquel has been linked with a high incidence of diabetes, hyperglycemia and other blood sugar disorders. Seroquel is in the class of drugs called atypical antipsychotics, which are a newer class of antipsychotics touted as having a lower incidence of blood sugar disorders than the older medications such as Haldol and Thorazine. Seroquel was approved by the FDA in 1997.

Data from a study that was reported at a conference of the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology in Philadelphia August 23 and 24, 2003 showed that patients on Seroquel had 3.34 times as many cases of diabetes as those on older antipsychotic drugs. The study of 19,878 U.S. military veterans between October 1998 and October 2001 indicated that Seroquel and other members of the new class of anti-psychotic drugs posed a higher risk of diabetes. The effect was most pronounced with Seroquel.

does anyone controll prescription drugs?

I am fair new to this forum and I find it interesting what I am reading about drugs like Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft, Seroquel ect. I have looked up some of these drugs and I have to wonder why these drugs are being prescribed. I hear of teens being put on multiple drugs. All these drugs state for   side effects the same symptoms  as the disorders they are being  used to treat. If the patient doesn't get better is it because the drug is causing the symptom? Is the drug no  more than a high priced sugar pill? Or is it a pill to make you sicker to ensure your doctor has continued revenue? Something really seems to stink? Doesn't any out side agency ever audit charts of people using these drugs? I have to wonder if innocent people are being made sick to make other people rich? What is a common person to do ? All these medications say not to discontinued Cathy

Re: does anyone controll prescription drugs?

I have a great book that will give you all the insights on antidepressants.  Antidepressants are our world's nightmare!  Below is my Mom's story.   
1-800-280-0730

I have taken anti-depressants for 15 years. I have been on Deseryl, Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft, Wellbutrin, and finally Effixor. I met the author of "Prozac, Pandora, or Panacea?" Dr. Ann Blake Tracy, from Utah. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone on anti-depressants. It is like my bible!

I am in my third month of withdrawal from Effixor. I am on 150 MG. I opened up one of the capsules and it had 360 white crystals inside. The first month I took out 10 crystals all at once and I did pretty good. The second month I took out 10 more and It was a difficult month. I was very angry and agitated. The first week of the third month I took out only 2 more bringing the total to 22. So I am doing better by taking out only 2 more per week. It will take me about 2 years to get off of these "PILLS from HELL" Because of these anti-depressants I am now a diabetic, unable to sleep, have chronic fatigue syndrome, memory loss, no feelings except angry ones and the list goes on and on. Most beneficial in helping me to deal with depression is EXERCISING, EATING HEALTHY, TAKING DEEP BREATHS frequently throughout the day to help relieve stress and tension, and drinking alot of Chamomille Herb Tea.

Dr. Tracy and her book have saved my life!!! I was also introduced to RELIV--a powdered vitamin supplement that has also saved my life and I will take it for the rest of my life. If I can be of any help or support to anyone out there on anti-depressants please drop me an e-mail @nutz4swa@cox.net. I have made up my mind that I AM going to WIN this battle and so can you!!!!!!!
