@Nammu The only side effect that I have that I know is Seroquel is severe dry mouth. It was bad before it was added but now it's really bad. I carry water everywhere. I'm actually on 75 mg now and that didn't make anything worse.


I honestly don't know if there's a hangover from it because I have so much hangover from other things. But I do know that I was able to wake up earlier on the 50 than I had been before starting seroquel. I am sleeping later again now but that's probably because I'm not sleeping well during the night so I'm sleeping whenever I can.


When I went on the seroquel 50s I felt better than I ever had in my life. My head didn't have noises in it. I didn't know that was possible. I genuinely felt good and everyone noticed. And then my anxiety went up leading to some depression and the Seroquel isn't as helpful with that. I take 12.5 mg PRN twice a day and that sort of helps but it doesn't last long. It's such a small dose.

I do think for me the lower doses are better. When I was on Seroquel alone I was on as much as 1500 mg/day and didn't get the response I did to 50.


Sorry I'm not more help.
