...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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
