I did take serqouel for awhile. It helped me at night which was nice since I sleepwalk too. However, the biggest issue I had was sucidial thoughts in the morning. Everyone is different but as the doctor worked to find the right meds for me we found out that the older meds tend to work better for me.
the symptoms you are describing, in my experience should be subsiding after a week of the medication, if they are not or are getting worse you need to talk to your doctor ASAP.
I think most of these doctors push the newer meds on patients and while some of them work wonders for some people they are not the answer for all of us.
Another newer med they tried me on was abilify. At my doctors insistance I remained on the meds for a month but they were terrible, even at small doses, so you might want to talk to your doctor about older meds, especially older anti psychotics.

I sort of feel like I've been sniffing nitrous oxide, laughing gas. I'm sort of disoriented and I feel sort of like I'm floating. I don't know if it is the seroquel doing this or not. I really sort of hope it either isn't doing it, or is only a temporary thing, because I don't want to have to come off of it. But I'm afraid I will, because I've also been getting weird sensations in my hands the past couple days in the morning. Like I'll be holding my phone and will almost drop it because my hand like decides to just let go. I don't know if this is all because of the seroquel, or if I have yet another problem to deal with. Anyone have any symptoms like this while on seroquel?
