I was just thinking about the use of APs as prn meds. Now I'd never heard of them used that way before coming back to pc. I was thinking though when I was first put on seroquel in the hospital in 2010, I was so woozy I would half fall asleep sitting straiight up in group time and I barely remember the first week I was in the hospital. This was taking it everyday. But it got better and 5 days later when I went back to the hospital I was able to fully engage in the groups and with the people there. My point being if I was taking it just every once in a while I would always have the woozy feeling and not benefit from it for its longer lasting effects.
Which is to break and prevent the mania and help stabilize the mood state. Not just help with sleep though thank goodness it helps with that. Does this make sense?
