I have been on Lithium 300mg up and down since march and now the Dr's put me on Seroquel 25mg. What do I expect for effects.I know everyone is different when it comes to effect. But what should I expect out of the new drug seroquel?

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...
i take 50 mg at night. it's a very low dose.
you can expect to be knocked out about 45 minutes after you take it.
for me, i sleep a good 8 to 10 hours on it usually.
i feel very groggy for about half an hour in the morning.
it makes me more calm during the day... curbs my irritability and paranoia and keeps me from getting mixed episodes (well, supposedly it does. i haven't had one since i've been on it, anyway)
plus it gives me really awesome dreams!
