I started taking Seroquel a few days ago (150mg the first night, 300mg the next two nights). I have started seeing things when I close my eyes... for example, early this morning in bed, as I was trying to go back to sleep, I closed me eyes and a multitude of images flashed before me.. neon squiggly lines, an old book that I think had girls wearing big bonnets on the cover, a city landscape, etc. (I can't remember all of the images now, as there were many of them flashing very quickly). That was the first and so far only time this has happened, but I have been experiencing other sensations... seeing bright neon rimmed black shapes, or the feeling that the sun is beaming right in my face.. like there's an extremely bright light just beside my line of vision, and the light is infiltrating the sides of my eyes. I also have been having detailed conversations with people.. they're kind of like being in a dream, but somehow it's different and feels very real during the time. It's almost like lucid dreaming perhaps, but still somehow different. I'm not sure how to explain it :P I was wondering, are these normal experiences to be having after starting to take Seroquel? Thanks!

Time to call the doctor.
