>Hello,
I take Seroquel for sleep. Either 50mg or 100mg depending on how much I feel I need. It takes about an hour to kick in and then it puts me right out. I haven't experienced many noticable side-effects. Perhaps some food cravings late and slight restless leg but unlike restless leg I've had in the past (non-drug related) I get right to sleep as soon as I lay down. So it's probably not really restless leg syndrome or anything just a physical sensation that lets me know it's kicked in and I can sleep....
No one is going to tell you it's OK to drink on it (or any med really) but I do. I drink beer during happy hour and I've never had a problem. It's probably not so good for the liver but as far as psychological effects go I haven't noticed one interacting with the other. No increased hangovers/mania/depression/etc.....your mileage may vary :)
Good luck!
-Jay
