I think when I was on clozapine I had something similar (but can’t remember well).

Do you take it at night?

I mean I have definitely been on APs that have caused very similar side effects. Haldol was one, respiridone another

Sometimes the Seroquel hits me super hard. Some nights nothing. I haven’t had that experience with other meds apart from Latuda.

But the seroquel helps.

@anon94176359 do you ever get racing heart with the seroquel? I do, not often but when I do it’s horrid.

I think I have had palpitations on it. Like you not often but sometimes. Should maybe mention it to a doctor?

My pdoc says the tachycardia sometimes happens on seroquel and some of his patients stopped taking it.

But he told me it’s not dangerous just very unpleasant. It works so well as an AP for me that I roll the dice. Sometimes it only happens once a month.

I think I need my seroquel too much to risk a change. Plus changing meds sucks

I’m in the same boat as you. Won’t change. Also when I’ve tried like 6 other APs over the last 20 years none worked like seroquel did for me.

It is pretty good for my anxiety too. If you get anxiety does it help that also?

Definitely does for me but I also need a benzo daily. Seroquel is the most calming AP I have tried

It seems like to me that my medication has gotten less sedating, but its not something I rely on, I generally always assume it will make me drowsy enough to make staying conscious painful. The best thing to do is to just take the rest and sleep it off, if you weren’t really that sleepy maybe it will be a short nap, and you can stay up a little later in the night, otherwise, you just get a jump start on tomorrow.
