Last year I was put on 300mg Seroquel to help balance my mood and it worked well for that but it did cause restlessness at night after I took it and it was very irritating. I was in an outpatient program at the time so I was seeing a psychiatrist once a week and he put me on 0.5mg Cogentin (benztropine mesylate) to help with the restlessness and it helped some but not enough so I was ultimately taken off Seroquel.

I did notice on Seroquel that after I took the pill I would get cravings for food which did lead to some overeating at night. For me I needed some will power to avoid eating a lot at night after taking the pill. Sometimes I would be in bed very tired and decide to get up to make some food.

When I was first put on Seroquel I was also taking 30mg Restoril (temazepam) at night to help me sleep and I continued taking it for the first few weeks of being put on Seroquel but eventually I stopped taking Restoril and Seroquel alone worked well enough for helping me sleep.

In the past I have also been prescribed 25mg Seroquel for sleep and at that dose I never had any side effects and I slept very well.
