I think it probably tells you in instructions only to swallow whole. Is it so you can sleep quicker?

Just about nothing knocks me out. Seroquel, however, made me stuporous. I'm surprised you don't find it more helpful. Maybe your doctor would be willing to increase the dosage.

When I was clinically depressed at 24 they upped my quetiapine, and I slept way too much in hospital. I needed something to put me to sleep to begin with - temazepam or high diazepam. When I got out of hospital it took me hours to get to sleep and I was tiring out my brain with games and books but relaxing. And they should never have increased my AP. Because it ended up crushing my mood, and it was decreased back down and I have read I am in for the long haul and withdrawal is going to take 90 days and I am in despair.
First it was the rebound thoughts going a little fast but it settled. I had to self medicate and have a few drinks. Then the fever and sweating coupled with headaches and eventually migraines which was awful. That's 40 days I am still sweating like a maniac. And a couple of days ago I began to feel itchy all over - my scalp, arms, back, legs you name it. So I bought Benadryl and I need it twice a day at least. Why did the doctors not account for this?? They just left me to get on with it. I am calling them from heaven to hell. It has something to do with my nerves becoming more sensitised. When will it end.
I signed on sick hoping to resume education come winter term January start instead of summer.
So my nurse is coming Wednesday. So I have to explain it is not worth getting work, and I am not technically ill but experiencing withdrawal. If she asks why I wrote a letter requesting my medical records I will tell her it is my legal right to see them and I do not like to be kept in the dark. I want to know as much as possible and take charge of my health.
The team that deals with me and my friend, have been treating my friend like a fool. I will not allow them to do the same to me. They lost her file!!! That screams law suit.
They tried to say that she never responded to risperidone and quetiapine so her condition was treatment resistant and it is an out right lie. She could not tolerate the side effects, the quetiapine dose was far too high and the risperidone made her prolactin too high. Lying, cheating bas£%rds..

For the record I think the anti-histamine has subdued my fever. I don't know why I didn't find out soon. Happier
