Ever since my psychiatrist added an extra 200 mg Seroquel (now 700 mg, with 500 mg XR and 200 mg IR) I keep waking up again and again in the middle of the night. I am clocking enough sleep if I add it all up, though. I fell asleep on the sofa at maybe 7 pm, then woke up at 10 pm, thinking it was morning. Then Hubby dragged me to bed, where I slept, but very briefly woke up at 12 am, then 2 am, then 4 am and then 5:50 am. It's 5:57 am now and I'm thinking of staying up. Wish I could eat breakfast, but won't since Hubby likes to eat together. I won't wake him this early. Maybe just a glass of OJ.
