I was meant to go to Tafe today but I struggle waking up in the morning because Im way too sedated. I just hate Seroquel and feel like I'm addicted to this poison.

Can you talk to your Dr. about possibly lowering the dose? That might help. I take it too and know how sedating it is, but I'm on a dose now that doesn't completely knock me out.

I take 150mg of seroquel before bed and it works like wonders but I'd never want to take it any other time. In about 30 minutes it makes me extremely drowsy.
Your doctor should be able to do something to help. |

I agree. Consult with your pdoc. From my experience, Seroquel is very sedating.

Yes, I tried abilify gave me weight gain, Risperidone gave me tardive dyskinesia, Olanzipine gave me severe weight gain... As far as what I can do there's not much I can do about insomnia but pull weeds for hours and hopefully that will make me tired at night.
