Then tonight I just discovered I didn't take meds last night because i was asleep and so the "responses to Seroquel" were psychosomatic. Oops..........I've never had that happen so strongly.

Next up my REAL first night on Seroquel.

Oops...


I think I was wrong. I think I didn't take my late night meds on Wednesday so when I added the Seroquel to my pill box I added it to Wednesday and then took it Thursday. I feel exactly the same today as yesterday (so groggy) and that explanation makes more sense.


Good to know I've not started making up extremely exhausted days.


If only I could sleep this off but I keep having nightmares so I can't. I don't remember that being a side effect of Seroquel before. I've always had issues with nightmares but these are particularly bad.
