I don't know what that means really I could hear her but didn't really feel like I could respond to her asking me to breathe without getting worse and I was checking out mentally. Anyway, yesterday started on Seroquel and I slept until 1:30 and can't walk straight, balance is off and head is foggy. Is this normal for first dose on Seroquel?

I take 300 mg at night, knocks me off my ***. If it didn't I would only sleep 2-3 hours a night, keeps me stable also. I sleep 10 hours a night on it and wake up groggy. I have to have caffeine when I get up otherwise I'm a mess. I tried to get off of Seroquel because it caused me to be pre-diabetic and my triglycerides to go thru the roof. As soon as I came off of it I went into a mixed episode. I tried a ton of APs, anyways allergic reactions and bad side effects and my last option was to go back on Seroquel. The grogginess sucks, it keeps me stable and helps me sleep. Guess I'm stuck with it.
