I seem to have some kind of 'withdrawal' from Trazodone where I get very restless and kick and thrash around in the bed a lot - it's happened twice before. I didn't feel the Seroquel at all.
Anyway, now I feel like the waking dead. Not tired, but not feeling good, irritable and unable to stick with any activity. I have to SMS my pdoc today to report on the Seroquel. Let's see.
Just wondering - how long after you take the tablet is it supposed to kick in...?
Thanks a lot,
BB

Hi Bee, Give it a couple of nights. If it doesn't start working by then, you may want to rethink the dose. I started out at 25mg for sleep then had it increased to 50mg - works like a charm. But it does take a couple of days to kick in. Good luck
