I used my seroquel the other night to stop the sleep shortage that I was having as my pdoc said I should. Well I went a lot longer than I was supposed to but she told me to take it on a day when some exhaustion the next morning wouldnt be a big deal plus I just really didnt want to take it.

She had to convince me to even accept the prescription because seroquel made me constantly tired when i took it for a month straight a year or so ago. They tried to get me to take it in hospital on the medical ward too because I wasn't sleeping and was having angry outbursts towards the staff but i refused it then too and even got mad that they "offered" it to help me calm down.

So I hate the stuff but they dont want to give me sleeping pills and I know(when im stable) that they are an issue because i simply stay up for the feeling I get and mix them with alcohol.

So I took the stuff but slept 12hrs. That was really bad, my kids got ready and walked to school alone. Thats not usually a big deal, we are right across the road but usually my oldest is with them and he wasnt that morning. So the oldest kid was my 8yr old, he got them both ready and walked the 6yr old to school.

By 6pm I was so tired I went back to bed until 8 when I could put them to sleep and went right to sleep. I got up this morning for just long enough to actually take them to school and went back to sleep, 16hrs total. Finally feel quite a bit better today but its 7 and I just woke up at noon and did nothing all day

Anyone else use it PRN for sleep? Any ideas on if it will get better or I will have to devote 2 days to sleep with no responsibility every time I use it. I hate this stuff.
