Hi all,
I've just started switching from Zyprexa to Seroquel to try to knock out a bit of depression. At 50mgs, it already seems to be helping with depression. I imagine I'll have to go to at least 100. But I feel sedated during the day (I take it at night), and I have some chest/back muscle tightness. Has anyone found that that goes away after awhile? I tried taking 25mgs Sunday morning, and was astounding at how it lifted depression quickly (though I was way too sedated).

Some people report that the sedation actually mitigates with higher dosages. A friend of mine was knocked out at dosages between 50mg and 300mg. She is now very alert and active at 700mg.Good luck.

Thanks, Scott. Here's hoping, since Seroquel seems to be helping with depression already.
