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.

Re: abilify
If you stop shortly with abilify you can get withdrawelsymptoms like reboundsymptoms that can inflict psycotic reactions. A side-effect on this drug is also insomnolens, (deprived sleep). People has written to my netplaze and reported it. To be without sleep for several days might by itselfe cause psycosis 
You can`t expect anything from the life, because life is just living. Say instead: "What can I offer life?", and it will unfold with all the possibilitis life can provide.
