Hi Moose!

So sorry you are having so much hypersomnia and fatigue with Seroquel.

I had to start on Seroquel because my life had gotten so upsetting and I could not sleep and was becoming increasingly unstable.. I did sleep with Seroquel, at just 200mg. I have added another 25 mg, prn, in late afternoon.

It does make me tired. I try to get over any hangover effect by 9am. Beyond that, I do not have the patience for it to make me tired.

I also take Mirapex, which helps to offset the Seroquel. Ido not take it in order to offset the Seroquel, it just happens to do so. Mirapex, according to my understanding, can be used for both BPI and BPII depressions; however, it can become agitating, can evoke mania, so one must be careful. According to my pdoc, it's most useful in BPII, but can be used in BPI, as well, with adequate caution.

I hope you can taper down soon and can get some relief from the sedation.
I am also gaining weight on it. I HATE that!

Much Love to You!
