So I can only take 25 mg. The half-life is 6-7 hours but it takes 35 hours to completely leave. So that means it builds up. Tomorrow I need to be in Rochester at noon, so no seroquel at all for me tonight. I need to be able to drive. On the other hand the AD effect is building up and I need that, I think. I’m feeling somewhat better since sleeping. I went out tonight with a friend. It wasn’t long, just dinner. But we had a good time and when we got back. We sat in the community room taking to a few people. I’m still having a hard time around people so maybe the AD effect will help? But it’s such a small dose I don’t know.

Totally understand. When seroquel was my primary AP for a few weeks it was hell. It made me feel like I had dropped acid without the fun parts and I couldn’t function at all. It did make me sleep for 12 hours which was welcome but the side effects just weren’t worth it. I have it still as a prn for when I absolutely need to catch up on sleep, but I’m very careful to make sure I don’t have to do much the next day (so weekends). The hangovers are hell; it makes me useless. I’m both terrified and enamored by the drug at the same time.
