Ryan and designs are right. Side effects are just what people commonly experience. My husband took Seroquel for bit (a small dose) and it made him incredibley drowsy. It also gave him some kind of cough. Only 1% of people on Seroquel get a cough. His old pdoc had to get out her symptom book and it was the least common symptom. (From what I remember) I've read about people who take 10 times what he took and they don't get drowsy a bit.

My point is, everyone reacts differently to medication. No one medication works the same for everyone. My suggestion is take it when you have time to see if the side effects are harmful to what you want to do. For example, take it when you have spring break or over a long weekend. Don't take it when you have to study for a huge test...etc.

and keep us posted!
