I don't know why I'm like that.....
Anyways, I ended up talking to her for like 30 mins about everything. She did up my dose of Seroquel >.< to take 50 mg in the morning, 50 mg at lunch, and 200 mg at bedtime. Currently I only take 100 mg, but apparently she forgot that when she writes me prescriptions I usually get 100 mg x 60 so I have enough for 2 months, so I think I'm gonna go with an extra 50 mg a night for a couple nights, then up to 200 mg @ night, see how that goes for a while then add the day time doses if I need too. I see my T tomorrow, so he can find out if that's ok for me. I'm just nervous about taking more Seroquel because it just knocks the crap out of me, and I can't be late for work. Since I was late all last week, the week before that, and today....heh.

Wow...so you went from a dose only at bedtime to 3 doses per day? (plus doubling the bedtime dose?) I'm surprised by that...especially because if I remember correctly, seroquel comes in 25mg tablets. Obviously she's the doctor, not me, but I'd think she would have you try 25mg twice a day for awhile first (and like you said, just go from 100 to 150 at bedtime) and see if that helped first. I know how tired seroquel can make me...I used to take it twice a day, 100mg in the morning and 200mg at bedtime and I slept all the time. Now I am only on it every other night as a sleep aid (100mg). I hope it works out for you; if not I hope you will be able to get back in and try something different.
