I take it at bedtime as well.. I think you do get more used to it after a while however if you've been on it for a while and continue to be too lethargic during the day I would talk to your doc re the dose... Perhaps a dose a little lower would be better for you...x

Its new I just had them prescribed yesterday

I take it in bed with my hand on the light switch!!!! LOL

You can stumble to fridge and wake up with food in your mouth LMAO common side effect : )

The morning hangover? Goes away after a while, give it a month or two... its a great drug for me, all new drugs suck - seroquel, be careful eating and gaining weight, and no driving or much walking after you take it!!!! haha

Oh yeah, it makes me lethargic for the most part. I take it around 8pm and have to be ready to fall asleep shortly after. I mistakenly took it one time before I went out dancing late one night and it felt like I was swimming in jello!

The morning hangover gets better in time.

Unfortunately the drowsiness is normal :\ Your body should adjust within a couple of weeks and you'll feel less drowsy, but I can't promise that it will go away fully.

I'm on 25mg at bedtime. I sleep all night then after my kids go to school I sleep all day while they are gone. I have lost my sex drive, I have no ambition and I feel drained. I think I may be calling the dr yoder what other stableizers there are.

My doctor started me on 150mg for bed, but I think that is for the delusion's too

Can it set off episodes or make you fluctuate between old and newer delusion's?

when I first started taking seroquel, my delusions were all over the place - I even questioned taking it at all - it is an AP, after all. But after a few weeks, the delusions (though still there) were lessened. I hope that's how it works for you, too!

I'm getting rapid highs and lows too

You might want to give your pdoc a call and let them know what's happening. You're in distress and that needn't be! Did your pdoc start you on a small amount and gradually increase the dose? If not, it can cause problems. Give 'em a call, I'd say, I'm worried about how it's affecting you.

They started me on 150mg on monday

That is a good dose to stop bad stuff...

I would imagine, being where you've been, having walking in your shoes... The "Up's" are when the seroquel is leaving your system, and the lows or downs is the druggy feeling you will get the first month...

We have to take drugs awhile to figure out if they work - you can't watch farts and burps and see if its working... next month you sit over lunch and wonder if the last 30 days was better or worse... no miracle or magic pill - lots of trial and errors.

Seroquel is tough to start because its powerful, but it needs to be I"m guessing you are taking 150XL which is one at bedtime......

People talk about withdraws all the time, but taking a new drug is the same - backwards, you are Introducing it to your body, and you body takes awhile to adjust and accept - doesn't mean its not a great drug, maybe work 7 years - its worth giving a month!!! (((BIG HUG)))

I'd give your pdoc a call - just to make sure everything is okay.

Ok maybe I'll gibe it a little bit then call pd
