I have been taking seroquel for about 8 to 10 months now. I was on 75mg at night but I had to drop it to 50mg.

When I was on 75mgs I would sleep more and at times through out the day I would fall a sleep and not be able to wake up. It is so weard because when I would fall asleep, I'm aware of whats going on around me but I just couldn't wake my self. That scared me to death.

It does give me a good nights sleep though. I seem to be extra sensitive to a lot of meds. I'm bipolar and when I was on lithium I had really bad side effects.

I do have side effects on seroquel as well. I get a bad rash on my face at times and on 75mgs I loss my hair. But it does keep me sane so I hope I can tolerate the side effects.

I hope you have better luck with it.

Take care
