I am in my early 20's...when I was diagnosed at 19, I was prescribed a hefty dose of Trazadone that I began abusing once I knew its power. I broke up with my boyfriend about 6 months after I began being prescribed the Trazadone and I would take it any time I wanted to, even in the middle of the day, because I was depressed and/or wanted to waste some time. After I ran out of the prescription I had (once I started really abusing), I never asked for another one again. I just don't feel right doing that to myself even though it's convenient at the time. I don't want to have the temptation.

I used to take Seroquel but never thought of taking it in the middle of the day. I was 19-20 and was never aware I could do that although honestly I might have if I would have known. The only time Seroquel really knocked me out at night were the first few times I took it. After a while it wore off but I can see how it might be different during the day. I stopped taking Seroquel at about 20 because I didn't see that it was helping me and didn't like the weight gain aspect--not sure if it was really the right choice to get off of that med at the time but the meds I'm on right now are pretty good.

Anyway, that's my story
