I was just recently put on the lowest dose of Seroquel to help me sleep (25mg, not XR). It was wonderful, I slept very well. I am not bipolar or schizophrenic and I feel as if the lowest dose has a little risk for serious side effects, but I think I'm having auditory hallucinations... Last night I took my first dose of it and this morning, I was sitting in class and heard a very loud ticking noise, very annoying and distracting. I looked around and couldn't find anything that would be making that noise, and I asked my friend who was sitting next to me if she heard it and she said no. It stopped after about a minute. Then after that class, I came back to my apartment and laid down for a bit and I heard a baby crying. This occurred for a few minutes then stopped. I asked my roommate if she had heard a baby crying at all, thinking maybe our housemates had one over for some reason and I was hearing it through the walls, but she said no and that she hasn't heard a baby crying at all today. No more have happened throughout the day.

I'm not finding it extremely bothersome or anything, but I am not going to continue on this drug if that's what is going to continue.. I guess what perplexes me is that I'm on such a low dose that I don't know how this is happening.

I have only taken it one night, and I will keep trying it for at least a few more days to see what happens. Just curious is anyone knows anything about this or have had the same experience.

Im at 50 mg of Seroquel to help me sleep. Ive never had hallucinations on this drug but when I started it I was feeling like a Zombie in the morning. I think you should give it a chance or talk to your doctor if this side effect continues.

I would advice you to talk to your doc if you are concerned. I'm on it for psychosis so I can't really say much on the subject. Good luck.

I had auditory hallucinations on low doses of Seroquel. I heard trucks pass through my backyard. One after another.

I was on 100mg for a month and was upped to 200mg since about three weeks ago and it has almost completely stopped my auditory hallucinations.

I take 25mg of seroquel 4 X a day. I also hear trucks/ cars a lot of time. I think if I had to report a side effect, this would be it.
Also, some ringing sometimes.
