I bet you can't wait until Lilly's patent run out and they release the once a day dosing, as a patent extender, that they've probably shelved for just that time. I bet it would keep the amount of drug in the body and energy levels more even through out the day.

Last night was somewhat of a disaster where I was lying in bed for 2 hours waiting for sleep that just couldn't overcome all the tea I'd had during the day. I ended up taking that extra 100mg dose of Seroquel that I keep in reserve when I have really messed up my sleep. It kicked in quickly and off I went.
