> I can see how someone would grow dependent on the sedative qualities of seroquel. I take 300mg and I have gotten to the point where it will cause me to fall asleep in the evening, but have no grogginess in the daytime. I actually LIKE the antihistamine, because I havent had any problems with allergies or such this year. yay!!

I can easily imagine how someone who is incarcerated and socially isolated might develop an inner life of the mind that includes ruminative and intrusive thoughts. If one is in solitary confinement or ostracized for too long, one will likely show signs of mental illlness, including psychotic symptoms. Seroquel might be a way that such a person maintains a feeling of sanity in an insane world.

Curiously, the H1 effect of Seroquel does not too much for nasal congestion but everything and then some for grogginess -- not sleep, I still need things on top to remain asleep.

Generic loratadine is sometimes necessary if I have some ear/sinus/whatever thing going on.

But I prefer saline anyhow, it does a good job of inducing sinus nasal flow and is basically not addictive. L-methamphetamine OTC Vicks for one day is allright. Its funny how they relabel it levmetamfetamine on the package -- maybe this is NIDA's way of saying oh, its not a rotated crystal meth that isn't terribly addictive and can't be converted without highly sophisticated organic chemistry manipulation if that is even possible.


I'm glad you like the effect, but it is not fun staggering upstairs with nearly 800mg of Seroquel just kicking in and having to use the loo and almost fainting. Trazodone does a similar thing. Orthostatic hypotension.
