until about 25-200 mg seroquel works as an antihistamine. antihistamines make you sleep. 200-500 it is a dopamine antagonist. dopamine antagonists help with symptoms of schizophrenia, hence you're less sleepy at that dose. at 500-800 mg it modulates serotonin somehow. this theoretically helps with depression. seroquel is like 3 meds in one, depending on the dosages. that means its effects are different depending on the dosage. this includes somnolence.

So, have you considered UPPING your dose?
