I've been on 600mg of Seroquel XR for almost a month. I take it early in the evening so I'm sleepy by 9:30-10. I sleep until 8am or 9am. It is still not enough sleep or doesn't feel like it. I'm in a fog all day and I have to fight through it every minute of everyday. I thought my body would acclimate to taking and the side effects would get better, but they are not. I take a big dose of Vyvanse in the morning with Wellbutrin and it feels like the Seroquel is blanketing those and they're not even working to keep me up. I might as well stop taking them.
I want to talk to my doctor about an AP med change but in the last two months I have changed from Latuda to Seroquel. I'm worried about asking for a new med because I don't want to seem like I'm just being a pain who's never satisfied with anything.
I was thinking about Vraylar. Has anyone here taken it or is taking it? Does it make you drowsy? How well does it work?
How do I ask for Vraylar without looking like I just want to play AP merry go round? I see my doctor in a few hours.
