I was on Seroquel initially because my Pdoc wanted to get me to sleep again. I took it later in the day and was a zombie as well but definitely helped sleep at night. She ended up increasing the dose and taking it twice a day so it was nothing to pass out for a three hour nap in the afternoon. Like, no choice, you're going to sleep, type of nap! Eventually I came out of the depression cycle and decided to ditch psych treatment. About two days later it must have cleared from my system because my brain exploded with activity. Like, literally thinking five thoughts at the same time and seeming to be on fast forward. I experienced a short term manic episode too. Unfortunately I didn't stay "normal" for long and ended up in a depression cycle again and refilled the prescription. I'm going back to the Pdoc to see what she says regarding about adding an SSRI to the mix and just taking Seroquel at night before bed. Best of luck as you work on your meds!
