Hey OneRedRose,

I also started Quetiapine 25mg just for anxiety then this was upped to 50mg for sleep and 25mg As Required. I am now upped to 175mg at night and 25mg As Required.

I am a lot calmer on it, it calms me down if I am anxious. However bad side to it is that I was drowsy all the time. The increase to 175mg was welcomed as my Psych also put me on the slow release dose. So that it is in my body constantly. This has really helped me... I am able to get up in the mornings now and have a proper day of production
Thanks for this!
