Effectiveness

How Seroquel Affects Patients

Quetiapine can help to treat symptoms of schizophrenia and major depression by targeting certain brain chemicals. It can also help with both depression and mania in bipolar disorder. However, this drug should not be given to children under 10 years of age as it can lead to suicidal thoughts or behavior. Elderly patients should not take this drug either, as it has been linked to an increased risk of death.

How Seroquel works in the body

Quetiapine works in the body to treat symptoms of schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder. It does this by blocking certain receptors in the brain, such as serotonin and dopamine. Quetiapine also works on other receptors that can cause drowsiness, low blood pressure, and dry mouth.

Patient Review

Seroquel for Bipolar I Disorder with Most Recent Episode Mixed

This medication has definitely helped me sleep better at night. The only downside is that I have occasional nightmares. Other than that, my mood is much improved and hallucinations are no longer an issue.

Seroquel for Mania associated with Bipolar Disorder

Seroquel has been hugely effective in curbing my mania, and as a result, the crashes that come after. I also find that my mind is more clear and less agitated overall.

Seroquel for Repeated Episodes of Anxiety

I've struggled with debilitating panic attacks for years, but this treatment has really helped. I take 100mg daily and it's made a world of difference. The only downside is that it gives me the munchies!

Seroquel for Bipolar Depression

I was diagnosed with depression and this medication really helps me sleep at night. The only downside is that I need to take Adderall in the morning or else I can't get out of bed until noon.

Patient Review

10/3/2022

Seroquel for Bipolar I Disorder with Most Recent Episode Mixed

I didn't like this pill. I took it for two months and then had to stop because my body got used to it and I couldn't sleep at night. My moods were all over the place and I was wide awake all the time with racing thoughts that I couldn't control. It made me feel numb to the world and I didn't want to be around anyone.

Patient Review

3/16/2022

Seroquel for Mental Disorder with Loss of Normal Personality & Reality

Seroquel was successful in treating my depression and anxiety-related mood swings; however, I experienced debilitating drowsiness as a side effect. This made it difficult for me to get through the day without needing a nap.

Patient Review

Seroquel for Bipolar Depression

I gain a lot of weight very quickly since I started taking this medication, which has been incredibly frustrating. Additionally, it's made me feel tired and groggy all the time. Overall, not recommended.

Patient Review

9/28/2022

Seroquel for Bipolar Disorder in Remission

Seroquel did very little to help with my bipolar II diagnosis. I felt groggy, dull, and gained weight while taking it. Nightmares also. Very unpleasant and frustrating. Switched to Lamotragine and felt much better.

Seroquel for Bipolar Depression

This drug is pure poison. Seroquel gives you diabetes, high triglycerides and puts stress on your liver. When I started taking it, my doctor put me on 1000mg to start. I slept for a week straight. I'm down to 200mg now, and I take a week off of this drug every so often to cleanse my body from the poison.

[18F]MK-0947 for Parkinson's Disease

18 - 80
All Sexes
New Haven, CT

This clinical study is being conducted to learn more about a new imaging drug called \[18F\]MK-0947, which is designed to help doctors see changes in the brain related to Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is a condition that affects movement, balance, and thinking. The drug works with a type of scan called PET (Positron Emission Tomography) to show areas of the brain where a protein called α-synuclein builds up. This buildup is linked to PD and other brain disorders. The main goal of this study is to find out if \[18F\]MK-0947 is safe for people and if it works well to show α-synuclein in the brain. The study will also look at how the drug moves through the body and how much radiation it gives off. Researchers hope this information will help develop better tools for diagnosing PD and tracking how it changes over time. Who can join? Adults who have PD or who are healthy may be able to take part. Participants will have screening tests to make sure they qualify. What does participation involve? People in the study will have PET scans, blood tests, and other safety checks. Some participants will also have an MRI scan. The study is divided into two parts: Part 1 looks at how the drug works in the brain of PD patients and healthy elderly participants, and Part 2 measures radiation levels in healthy participants. Why is this important? There is currently no cure for PD, and better imaging tools could help researchers develop new treatments. By joining this study, participants will help advance research that may improve care for people with PD and similar conditions in the future.

Stanford, CA

The current study aims to test the feasibility of a new form of group therapy for women who have a history of interpersonal trauma and current suicidal ideation. The Building Empowerment and Resilience (BEAR) Therapeutic group has been adapted for women who have experienced trauma and have current suicidal ideation. It incorporates psychological skills, psychoeducation about trauma and gender-based violence, and physical self-defense training, all within a therapeutic process. It will be implemented with women who have experienced interpersonal trauma (physical, sexual, or emotional abuse/neglect) and experience various mental health difficulties, including suicidal ideation. We aim to assess the feasibility to recruit and implement the BEAR group. Our ultimate aim is to assess whether the program can effect self-efficacy and suicidal ideation.

Cognitive Remediation for PTSD

18 - 45
All Sexes
Montreal, Canada

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether computer-based brain training can help adults with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Individuals with PTSD often experience difficulties with memory, attention, concentration, and problem-solving, which can significantly affect their daily lives, work performance, and overall quality of life. These cognitive challenges can hinder trauma recovery and reduce the effectiveness of standard PTSD treatments. The main questions this study seeks to address are: Does specialized brain training improve PTSD symptoms compared to regular computer games? Does brain training enhance cognitive functions such as memory, attention, processing speed, and executive functioning? Does brain training improve quality of life and daily functioning? Do participants' self-efficacy and perceived social support influence treatment outcomes? Researchers will compare two approaches: a specialized cognitive training program (HAPPYneuron Pro) with strategy teachings and quality-of-life discussions, versus engaging computer games with quality-of-life discussions, to determine which is more effective for people with PTSD. Study Design Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups for an 8-week program: Cognitive remediation training group: Complete computerized cognitive exercises and strategy teachings specifically designed to strengthen memory, attention, and executive functions, combined with quality-of-life discussions. Control group: Complete engaging computer games combined with quality-of-life discussions. Schedule Both groups will follow the same schedule: One online session per week, in small and consistent groups of 6 participants. Each 60-minute session consists of 30 minutes of computer activities followed by 45 minutes of group discussion. One at-home individual homework exercise per week (30 minutes at home). Total time commitment: 1h45 per week for 8 weeks. Assessments All participants will complete three comprehensive assessment sessions: before treatment, immediately after the 8-week program, and 3 months later. Assessments include neuropsychological testing and questionnaires on PTSD symptoms, depression, anxiety, quality of life, satisfaction with life, social support, cognitive failures, and self-efficacy. Significance This research evaluates a new, accessible and remotely deliverable approach for PTSD treatment. Current evidence-based treatments often do not directly target the cognitive impairments experienced by many individuals with PTSD. Compensation Participants will receive $35 for each completed assessment (maximum $105). Control group participants will gain access to the cognitive remediation training program after completing their participation.

MDMA-Assisted Therapy for PTSD

21 - 70
All Sexes
Atlanta, GA

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine hydrochloride (MDMA) combined with Massed Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adult participants diagnosed with PTSD. This randomized, placebo-controlled trial will enroll 95 participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the combination of PE + MDMA lead to greater reduction in PTSD symptom severity from pre-treatment to one-month follow-up compared to PE + placebo? * Does PE + MDMA improve response efficiency and durability of PTSD symptom improvement compared to PE + placebo? * Does MDMA + PE enhance extinction retention and reduce amygdala threat reactivity, and are these changes associated with improved PTSD outcomes? Participants will: * Receive 10 sessions of Massed Prolonged Exposure therapy over two weeks * Be administered either 100 mg of MDMA or a placebo at Visit 2 * Undergo blinded independent evaluator assessments using the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5-R (CAPS-5-R) at the one-month posttreatment follow-up
