I requested Seroquel 25mg as PRN today, i've been on 50 mg Seroquel before a year ago as needed for sleep. Any idea how this PRN is going to make me feel?

I'm schizoaffective and ever since taking my Geodon at bedtime instead of with dinner I feel I need more medication *sometimes* around at a thanksgiving social event and later in the evening. Today I felt fine and haven't tried the PRN yet.

Is the seroquel 25 mg PRN for sleep? It will probably make you feel pretty much the same as the 50 mg you used to take, but not so strong. Maybe you won't feel so sleepy the morning after you take it. Could work out well. Good luck!

For some people, 25mg knocks them out. I was able to take 25mg a couple times a day and operate totally normally except for extreme memory loss.

The mornings after waking up from seroquel-induced sleep usually consist of grogginess and extreme hunger.

Hey there,

I take 25mg PRN and have done so for over a year. I take it for anxiety and agitation. It definately relaxes me. Doesn't make me drowsy at all

I take 25mg every AM, and 200mg at night. It is knocking me out quite a bit, but my anxiety is definitely much more under control
