Anyway, I was hoping that if anyone here had taken quetiapine, you could just share your general experience with me, that might help me decide if I can swallow it (literally!)

I have taken quetiapinel( recently within the month) and it helped me sleep, however it diminishes sexual response and arousal. It did help me sleep seven hours as I was only able to sleep between three to five hours.Warm Thoughts.
