Can you decrease the dosage or take it earlier in the evening and get more hours of rest to help with the sedation effect? I hope things start looking up for you soon and you find a solution. I'm thinking of you. You're not alone.

Thank you, Jennifer. At first, I was on 600 mg of Seroquel (then for a short time 800 mg) and even at night it was scary, because if I got up too fast, I felt I was going to faint. I even felt that it was difficult to drive. After talking to the pdoc, we lowered it to 400 mg for the time being. It's better as far as not getting the scary side effects, but it still makes me drowsy. I do need to work on getting more sleep. Maybe I'll take it even earlier, although I try to. It's hard though since I've always struggled with insomnia. I hope things get better for you too.

That lower lid was a challenge. It felt so weird at first. But I added mascara to the top in exchange, lol.
Perky hair -- cool! Makes perfect sense. 
Good luck on the physical tiredness. I struggle with that too.
Like today. Where's that magic wand? |
Thanks! I can definitely relate. My co-workers actually noticed when I wore tan pants for a change instead of black. LOL. I'm starting to explore some other colors. At least summer is coming, so they'll be more colors to choose from in the stores....so maybe I'll branch out.
I'll let you all know how that works out. (((hugs))) Sorry you're struggling too.
