On the advice of someone here on the board I'm currently looking into zyprexa (a med I had discussed with dr but he wasnt convinced of usefulless in sleep). Plus i'm also gonna take bleauberries advice on changing the "brand" of seroquel I use....from the canadian generic back to the original brand name seroquel, despite the added cost. That change is the easiest to start with.

> > Nellie7 can you explain this a bit more. So it's not just me then when I notice that although seroquel is good for sleep it makes my mood dark during the morn-mid afternoon next day. Do you happen to know why or how? I'll try to educate my GP regarding this...he likes real science backing over rumour.

> I don't really understand the reason for this. With APs it could be the blocking of dopamine. I think some of the newer antipsychotics block certain serotonin receptors as well, if I'm not mistaken. I don't know.
> There have been messages on this board regarding the depressing effect of tranquilizers, so it must be a common side effect. Apparently some people are more sensitive than others in this respect.
> Myco, do you take antidepressants as well?
