Not taking seroquel as sleeping med any longer

I was given 600 mg seroquel for my sleeping disorder, not taking any longer, checking my blood glucose levels daily, now 6.4 at 6:37 am .

Does that amount of Seroquel put you to sleep?

I was very sensitive to that med. Even small milligram doses of it knocked me out for hours.

If i take the quick acting version of seroquel, even 25mg, it knocks me out like a light. I think if someone took your dose of the quick acting one they’d o’d? And people can take like a thousand mg of the extended release as far as i know.
It can be a big appetite increasing med from what ive seen.
As long as its with a pdoc’s guidance, all good! :slightly_smiling_face:

@Montezuma @Ozzyskits seroquel is a funny one.

I take 200mg twice a day. But I found 50mg to be the most sedating

I think the med acts different at different dosages

Right on J Bob!

Yeah, it is a very unique and interesting med. I honestly miss it because it did wonders for my anxiety, but on the normal doses of it I developed a skin rash on my face. And when I used to take 25mg for a PRN I had a bad reaction to it one night and fell down behind my building.

Yeah seroquel can be great for anxiety. Your fall sounds so scary man. Did you got to the ER?

No, but my pdoc definitely cancelled my script of it so now I think I can no longer take it.

My brother said that my eyes went to the back of my head and I totally blacked out for a few seconds.

My brother and I were scared!

Thank you old friend.

I collapsed on the floor at 400mg. Didn’t trip or anything just lost conscious.

Seroquel is known to be bad for the cardiac system in some people. I have had problems with it even at 50mg daily.
