Seroquel made my life alot better. But I had fatigue as a major side effect. It would make me sleep 10+ hours straight.
When I switched pdoc's my new one told me that I should take it at noon and later at 8 (breaking up the dose)
as well as take my other med lamictal in the morning instead of night.
It really worked. I sleep a normal amount of hours, but I'm also not fatigued during the day.
The hunger and weight gain thing was also hard, I got used to the cravings but I still gained weight under my normal diet (pre seroquel), because it still slows metabilism.
But once I decreased my caloric intake it got alot better - though i eat alot less than normal people -- but i also feel fine.
