Seroquel made me feel like the walking dead! Within 20-30 minutes of taking it I was walking into walls tired and got the "munchies" (probably because I was so tired!). It made me sleep good but I realized the night after I took it for the first time (and went to bed late and got only 5 hours of sleep) that you need to sleep a lot longer on it! My doctor switched me to the XR version and it doesn't hit you as bad as the regular seroquel. You do have to take it earlier because it takes longer to kick in, but I have to stay up way past the time it kicks in for it to make me like how regular seroquel made me feel. I usually try to go to bed as soon as I start to get tired to avoid this. Definitely an improvement!
