Anybody familar with this drug? I started this drug 2 weeks ago and am having some reactions. Muscle spasms, black dots in my vision, uncontrollable crying bouts. My pdoc is trying to get me off of Seroquel. I'm trying to decide if I should keep with it.

" You have the generic brand of Tripletal. Seroquel quit working for me and because of the severe cravings for food I put on 40 lbs in 6 months. Glad to be off of Seroquel and on Wellbutrin - carvings under control and starting to lose some of the weight. "
