this is my second time around on seroquel and when the doctor said 100 mg to begin with, I had my doubts. the first time I took it, I only took 25 mg, but since I was soo sleepy all the time I would cut it in half and still be sleepy. the weird part about the seroquel though is that I am not completely tired at the higher dose, and actually since I've been taking 300 mg, I've been sleeping less than I was with taking only 100 mg.
Thanks for this!
