In reply to the problem with seroquel, posted by sleepygirl on December 4, 2005, at 20:39:13
I feel you on this. Seroquel absolutely knocks you out. When people on this board say they take Seroquel and it doesnt knock them out, they are either taking a salt tablet or .000001 of Seroquel.
Seroquel might not help you with anxiety or depression, but you are going to be snoozing for sure.
Sleepy, all I can say is that my body adjusted over time. I went from taking 100mg two times per day to only 25mg once per day, at night before bed. I take it with 1mg of Klonopin. And thats it. Nothing more.
It has been a miracle drug for me. I dont like being groggy but I absolutely hated being ravaged by anxiety. I just try to keep on low doses, drink caffeine when needed, and exercise. Unfortunately with most meds, there are tradeoffs. The 20+ SSRIs I tried didnt make me sleepy, but they didnt work either.
I hope you find a balance.
