How can the Seroquel help you sleep but also make you hyper?  It seems it would do one or the other.  When I was on it I was always tired, I slept at least 9-10 hrs. a night and would be tired throughout the day.  Now that I'm off it and on Lamictal and Lexapro, I'm having trouble sleeping, getting only 4-5 hrs. a night.  These meds have me so messed up sometimes.  
Seroquel also made me gain 30 lbs. in 2 months, a real bummer.  I'm just now starting to lose that weight again.

But you should NOT skip any doses of your meds without checking with your doctor first.  Beter that he give you a different med, or change the dosage, for something that will make you feel better without the side effects.
