hi larry, thanks for that the dosage is 150mg at night. i started off on 75, and then 75 in the morning and 75 at night, but taking it in the morning was making me half asleep for the whole day, which meant i was unable to do uni work and stuff, so the doc told me to try it at 150mg at night. 4 times a day would be nigh on impossible for me.

the problem is when i take it at night it doesn't help me sleep. i've had issues with sleep since i was a baby, and although seroquel makes me "sleep" it's not real sleep, it's more like being knocked out and i don't wake up feeling rested. since going on pregabalin i often wake up feeling dazed and confused and literally unable to function.

i'm bipolar so there was a danger of it inducing mania, and the day i increased the dose to 75 twice a day, i did go a bit high for a day (to the point where my mum asked me if i was going up on the phone due to pressured speech etc) but it hasn't happened again.

going on what you said and what i was told about its potential side effect of inducing mania, could it be that after taking it at night, by the following mid afternoon-early evening i'm "coming down" and this leads to a spell of depression before i take it again?
