New Medication - Any Experiences with Seroquel?

it makes you sleepy

Worse medicine I ever tried. Paranoia got worse. Had to get off.

Seroquel made me drop outta high school. It made me sleep for like 15 hours and nothing could wake me up so I’d miss most of the school day and fell so behind that my only option was to drop out and get a GED. I automatically got off of it, it was basically ruining my life. Just a quick warning lol

Hi I’m on seroquel . Dose has been adjusted a couple times. I don’t like how groggy I feel when I wake but I can’t sleep through the night without it 🤷🏻‍♀️. It does help with my mood though. I hope it works for you. Try to communicate as much as you can with your doctor(s) and of course we’re here for you too 🤗

then yes, have the meds at night... you can function fine while you're awake, currently, right? i would recommend, the next time you see this doctor, tell them the time of day/night you want to take the meds... if you're anything like me, which you're most likely not, i was put on 800 milligrams of seroquel... i was supposed to have 200 milligrams during the day and 400 at night... I'm on different meds now, since 2018... in short term, yes... it will make you drowsy... it's supposed to help with the insomnia and the mood swings... i would recommend taking 25 milligrams in the morning, 25 in the afternoon, and then the 50 at night, just so your system knows what it is and doesn't reject it when you increase it over time...

I’m on* Seroquel, not that i am Seroquel lol.

I’m Seroquel and my mood and other negative effect from bipolar depression really improved! My advice is take it at night as it is also used to insomnia and you will sleep well on it.

do you know the milligrams of it? i was put on 100 mlg and it put my butt to sleep
