In reply to Re: Less Seroquel, more sedation? (nm), posted by UGottaHaveHope on July 20, 2008, at 11:13:02

Yes, I forgot to mention that it seems to me, the less Seroquel I take the more effective it is for sedation. In other words, when I take 25mg, I sleep much better than I do on 100mg. And if you take 25mg and wake up in the middle of night, then just take 25mg again. Or you can cut the 25mg tablet in half, and take half when you go to sleep and another half if you wake up.

Make sure you read BGB's comments above about "uncontrollable movements." Fortunately, I've never had any experiences like that, and I've been taking Seroquel for about four years (up to 300mg/day), nor do I know any of my other friends that have had similar reactions. Nor have I read about a lot of other ppl on here having those reactions.

However, anything is possible, therefore you need to be aware of any and all side effects. And I am not aware of the other medications that BGB was/is taking, and that could've had an effect, too. You know, the entire combination of meds, and not necessarily Seroquel on its own, but maybe Seroquel on its own. You need to be aware of side effects with all meds.

Again the good news is this: Unlike many other meds discussed on this board, you will know the very first time (within 45 minutes) whether or not this med works for sleep. Not 4-6 weeks. Hope things work out for you, Michael

PS Probably the foremost expert on this board about Seroquel is a person named "Yxibow" That person is very helpful in answering any questions.
