Does 50mg of Seroquel knock you out?

I recently have been prescribed 50mg tablets of regular Seroquel and although I was on the XR version years ago I don’t remember how it really affected me.

I do remember extreme sedation on the lower doses.

How sedating is 50mg of regular Seroquel?

Will it knock me out or can I take it during the day if I have to and will I be able to function at this dose?

50mg of Seroquel shouldn’t knock you out too much, but everyone is different. I managed graduate school for 3 years on 900mg a night and was able to function. Just don’t ever stop Seroquel cold turkey! I did and it was scary.

Seroquel makes me high as hell but not in a good way. Best sleep med I’ve found. I’m on a 200-400 dose so might be different.

But not in the greatest way.
