Wasn't for me. Made me sleepy all the time! Felt like I was in a coma. Also affected me physically as I gained A LOT of weight. It may work for you, but it didn't work for me at all

I use it for sleep only. No weight gain, no hangover. Had to start on a low dose and titrate up. Obviously the plain Seroquil, not extended release.

Hey there,

Ye I am on it at the moment. I take 175mg XR in the evening. I also take 23-50mg regular Serequol when I need it for anxiety and agitation. It does make me sleepy and makes me sleep but not all the time. It helps calm my mania too.

I am struggle with my appetite. I am either starving all the time or jam packed and not really wanting to eat. Weigth is an issue for me though

It also calms me down when I am anxious or agitated

I am on 50mg for sleep so take it at bedtime. And yes it does make me gain weight so I have to be careful what I eat.
