I found I didn't remember my dreams after a seroquel night. Now I've started to be able to remember them.

Careful in the day, I've had several "Captain Jack Sparrow" moments where I've nearly fallen over in the day after 25mg-50mg at night.

I love what Seroquel has done for me but I "have" to get at least 8 hours sleep or I still feel the grogginess. After 9 months on it, I still feel a little out of it when I first get up. I dont remember most of my dreams either and that is a great thing because they arent so good. I would rather remember what happens during the time I am awake anyway and since taking this med, my memory is much better.

I'm not new to it, just haven't had any for three months. I was on it with Lamictal, but lost insurance. I am trying to switch to Tegretol until I can get lamictal again because Tegretol is a $4 precription at Walmart.

STORM your right, but it also has mood leveling effects. that is why Pdocs prescribe it so much to us beepers.

Welcome to the world of St. Seroquel. If your ins will cover it, the XR version, lasts all night/day long, but I'm sure it's more expensive.
It's soooo wonderful to sleep again! xxoo

    I made an earlier post about weed titled "Does weed effect us differently?". I think I may have misjudged the situation. I had a bad trip on my first try, but I ended up smoking the rest and also tried "delta 8" (basically the same a weed). I ended up having a really good experience, but now I'm worried I may like it too much. I can't decide if I should completely abstain or not.on the one hand,...
