Hi UGHH. Thanks for the reply. Do you still feel groggy after taking Seroquel for some time now? I take 100mg per night, and the first couple of weeks I was pretty groggy in the mornings after I woke up. I teach a college class, and during those couple of weeks, I once even had a hard time staying awake and alert while I lectured to my class! :) But then it got better. May I ask what does you're on and how long you've been taking Seroquel? Thank you for your response to my other post too.
Best, Lucia
PS: Are you the one who works as a journalist too? Just curious, cuz I'm actually a literature teacher, and writing a dissertation, and always enjoy meeting other writers. Of course, if you're not, I'm still very happy to correspond with you and am thankful for your helpful responses.> Seroquel works great for me in treating severe anxiety, but it does make me groggy sometimes during the day. Thats the tradeoff for me, and well worth it.
