Anti-psychotics like Seroquel can cause drowsiness on low doses, so one would think that the higher the dose, the more drowsy the person, right?
Well, turns out that if my Seroquel dose is increased, it won't make me as drowsy, or more, than the drowsiness I initially felt on the drug. This makes drowsiness and dosage have an almost inversely proportional relationship.

It doesn't really surprise me. Remeron is the same, sedation and antihistaminic effects mainly on low dosages.

Its more of a antihistamine at very low dosages, and becomes an antipsychotic as the dosage increases. This is the reason for the more sedating effects at low dosages.

I used to take Seroquel and I noticed that too. 25 mg made me sleepy but 350 mg made me wide awake.

This is not my own experience. I take 25-50mg during the day as needed yet take 250mg at night and I pass out within 15 min.
