Glad you mentioned the "drunk" feeling after taking Seroquel at night. I began with 25 mg which didn't put me sleep. pdoc upped dosage to 50 mg, which put me to sleep but I had horrible nightmares so I didn't like taking it. At my most recent pdoc visit, I told him about the nightmares and he said "then take three" - this would now be 75 mg.

I asked how in the world that something that was giving me horrible nightmares would be better if I took more of it. He said (something to the effect) that we all dream but in a deep sleep don't usually remember them during the dreams. The fact that I get terrified IN a dream shows I'm not in a deep enough sleep pattern. Ok, makes some sense.

Since I've been on the 75 mg - I have not had nightmares. But I HAVE been feeling very groggy, slightly naseous and unsteady on my feet. (I'm also taking 2 mg Ativan - one upon rising and one 4 hours later so it might be contributing to this.) Several co-workers today asked me if I was ok....not sure if it was because I looked unsteady on my feet, or if my eyes looked funny, etc.

I sure didn't really feel ok, but not sick either. Just blah. Oh, and my Depakote got raised from 800 mg to 1200.

Any and all continued comments greatly appreciated!
