I am one person who has had a bad experience with serouquel. At one time I was taking 300mg of Seroquel. Well when I would get up to go to the bathroom, I could hardly walk and honestly would walk into walls. Not fun. He moved me down to 200mg and well that didn't work either.
As of yesterday I went on 100mg of Serouquel and 10mg of Ambien. I haven't slept that good in ages.
I guess what I am trying to say is Serouguel works diffrent for each individual. I'm just on person who can't take it. Good luck and I sincerely hope that they will find something that will help you.

Hi Cocolei- I have taken Seroquel for years. At one point I did take a small dose of Seroquel during the day -50mg. At night I have taken as much s 600-800mg. When I was in the hospital, there were some people taking as much as 1000mg at bedtime. You didn't say how much total Seroquel you are on. But I do know that the Seroquel really helps stablize my moods. Talk to your doctor about this medication, it sounds like maybe you are not on enough at bedtime. This is just my opinion though.
hi cocolei -- my dose of seroquel has recently gone up to 400mg at night, but everyone's different with different drugs and doses. This dose is working for me and is not an overdose. My moods have been BAD BAD BAD as of late, so in addition to the seroquel being increased, so has my lithium. shawn
