How much Seroquel are you on?
I used to be on that- I had to sleep for atleast 9 hours to not be tired like h… the next day. But I did okay if I just slept enough.
I was only on 400-600 mg, though.
I had to take it about 3-4 hours before going to bed. Even though sometimes I got so sleepy after taking it I fall asleep after an hour or so.
It’s a special kind of sleepy- so if it is affecting your days I would consider asking for a different medication. You get like really drowsy, and it is sooo hard to stay awake and alert. (I got that way if I didn’t sleep enough- and it’s not fun at all) |
Thank you! 😃
I take 600mg of seroquel. Not sure if it's that, the vraylar , or all of my meds combined including the moodstabilizer and the antidepressants. Kind of hard to tell since they all have sleepiness as a side effect but I'm leaning towards it being the seroquel since it was increased a month ago. When I sleep a good amount I feel better but lately I've only been getting 4-6 hours a night.
I'm kind of torn because I don't want to screw up my stability. I'm cutting way back on caffeine though so I'm going to see if that makes a difference over the next couple weeks
