Ok heres my situation......yesterday i come across a good combo,all day i feel social,outgoing,"normal"I go to eat with my friend,i even give my number to a girl.
I end up heading to bed pretty late,but did feel tired.So stupid me never leaving good enough alone,decides to assure a nights sleep with seraquel,well BOOMB im up like a light.
Now next day im still up,no sleep,ruined everything,took tons of stuff trying to sleep,klonopin,l theanine etc,i lay down and bounce up,my mind is on a ON switch,and it seems sedatives are only agigtating it worse.
I have a job to be out tonight and im scared to do it i mean i havent slept,im actualy scared now.I threw every sedative at it,and all i think they did was make me high which i feel i am now.
I dont know id i should continue to try and lay down,but i mean i feel no sleep there at all,of try to battle it and wake up,i just dont know.
I cant believe klonopin,nuerotion,l theanine nothing worked.Its like the seraquel screwed me up bad,what happened here,and what can i do,please

I take 1mg Klonpin and 50-25mg of Seroquel every night before I go to bed. How long have you been taking Seroquel? Is this the first time? What dosage do you take?
Until I find out the above, I wouldnt know where to point you. But I will say one thing: It's hard to take too much Seroquel. When docs give it calm down ppl who are really jacked up, they give it 700-800mg pill. So if you're on 50, try 100 or 200.

now i felt seroquel immediately, with 15 minutes i was knocked out like a zombie. but it took about a week for my body to fully adjust. those first two weeks, i had a dry mouth bad, then it just went away. i think i started taking 50-150 mg in the morning and 50-150 mg at night, now i have weened down to 25-50mg each nigght and thats it.
if it at all possible, i urge you to try to see if you can make it a week on it. i hate that you are not getting your sleep. that makes everything 100 times worse. man i feel for ya.

now that i think about, i did feel high as a kite that first day. i was stoned dude. but as my body adjusted, that feeling went away. now i feel groggy, but it is worth the trade off as it has taken away my racing thoughts GAD which absolutely ate me up.

Can you tell when you need coffee? I used to sense when I could tolerate it and when it would make my anxiety sky high. Fondly, Phillipa

You know I am usually dragging in the mid afternoon, especially aftefr lunch. I dont know if it is more from having a full stomach than the meds, but I do feel like the meds perhaps make me a little more tired during the day. But that is the tradeoff and it's worth it to me.
I dont drink coffee, but if I do get tired, esp when driving a long ways, I will load up on Coca-Cola for sure. How about you?

Dont get me wrong,id never take caffien alone,but when taken in the midst of a parnate dose,even with ritalin its pleaseantly stimualint .
Alone caffiene would do the same for me,just make make me nutty as a freak.
