Here's the thing. You can google it or ask about it on the Bipolar Treatment board. Seroquel is most useful for sleep at a very low dose. It's strange like that. Low dose, meaning 12.5mg or 25,g. No higher.

For example, a few years ago I was on somewhere around 300mg of Seroquel, it did not help me in any way. It was horrible; the only effect it had was to cause me to gain weight.

But if I take only 25mg I sleep very well. I take it 1 hour before bedtime. I've never had any med that worked so well for sleep.
So the 100 mg is completely useless. Ugh. I cannot wait to get off this mess.
