...take Seroquel as needed (i.e for sleep), or does it have to be an every day thing?
And do all of the nasty side effects (groggy, hungover, zombified, etc.) go away with time?
Not so sure about this stuff. Thanks.

well I would take it for sleep. But I took it mostly every day. Was hard to get off. Hard to fall asleep on you're own without it... I think I became to dependant on the stuff. I think it was great for sleep. I didn't feel bad the next day really..

HUH? didn't it come with instructions from the doc-as needed is for tylenol-lol BTW I am one of those peeps that it dosn't even make me sleepy-guess my mania wins yet again! I have Trazadone for sleep-seroquel is your mood stabilizer-same time same dose every day or you defeat the purpose.

But if it's nearly impossible for me to get 8-10 hours of sleep (b/c of work) is it worth taking?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
