Yeah I'm on seroquel too, but the XR version. I could sleep 12 hours a night.
But I generally try to sleep between 8 and 10 hours. I use an alarm and I go to bed early to get up early.
Like others have said, it is a balancing act.
I take 350mg XR, but I used to only take 12.5 when it made me sleep so much. But now on the 350mg of XR, it's more manageable.
I do skip my dose sometimes like when I know I can only get 6 hours of sleep. I don't feel anything when I skip one dose.
I hope things work out for you.
