seroquel experience anyone.

Posted by nickim38 on March 7, 2007, at 8:56:51

1 25 mg dose sent me to the moon. I got an overwhelming weird feeling, sleepiness and confusion within 30 minutes and conked out! My doc gave me this for sleeping and said he'd work me to a higher dose but to start out at 25 mg. He looked at me strange when I told him what the 1 dose did to me. I have talked to others that oare on much higher doses and don't get that feeling. I know everyone responds differently to meds but all that I've talked to seem to think that 25 mg shouldn't have done this. Anyone have any experience so I know I'm not the only one that has happened to?

25mgs kicked my butt...knocked me out cold
maybe not "confusion" for me, but I sure needed to find that bed!

I used to take a slice of a 100mg pill...1pill would last me all week. Sleep was great, and sleep made motavation kick in. My doc thought it was fine. PS im poor so i get free meds...so thats why i get weird mg of pills. Otherwise I would have gotten like a 25mg pill...or something.

I recently started taking Seroquel. I started at 25 mg and it knocked me out. My PDOC said that the higher the dosage the less sedation. I'm now taking 300 mg and I'm still near black-out within an hour and have been sleeping 12 hours. I love how it makes me sleep but I'm a little concerned at how strong this medication is. I worry that something will happen in the middle of the night where I will be required to leap out of bed (fire, intruders which are very common here in Costa Rica, etc) and I won't be able to function. I know I cannot drink alcohol with this, had a horrid experience, and I definately could not drive. Albiet it is keeping my mania at bay, but at what price I'm wondering...

You live in Costa Rica? Wow we are all over the world aren't we. By the way where is it? I have traveled a lot but the carribean, Hawaii, Europe but have no idea where you are. Didn't need geography in school. Love Phillipa
