Also, I found the morning dose very sedating for about the first week, and then I got used to it. I've been able to lose weight on it when I couldn't on regular seroquel. There is no reason for you to be turned into a zombie.So I took the 400mg Seroquel this morning and did the extra exercise. b/c i had some dissociation events yesterday mid-day, this morning, took: at 7am: 150mg Seroquel XR 50mg Lamictal 0. It's good you are working from home today. And I hate it, but I've come to the realization that 2-3 weeks of feeling drowsy and drunk is way better than 2-3 weeks in the hospital and 1-2 months recovery after a manic pop followed by the depression dip. So lack of attention and motivation and overall struggle to focus can be symtptoms. I'm on Lamictal 200mg at night. That night, I took 600mg Lamictal & 1000mg Seroquel, thinking that would do the job.

I tried walks, but I'll be honest with you, I still can't really get motivated to do that. No matter what time I take that stuff it completely knocks me out. Now I just take the XR at bedtime. Usually like this: 200 mg in the morning, 200 mg in the afternoon, and 400 mg at bedtime. yeah right? Has this happened to anyone before? Hope you’re taking care and not beating yourself up! I know for me, I could not take the Seroquel in the morning because I would be way too tired. For me, Seroquel is the ticket. Maybe take like 600 at bedtime and then only a 100 in the morning and even another later in the day as needed. I had to get off the quel because of the all day lethargy, so I feel you.I have to be able to function and work, talk on the phone, etc. I've read and read and talked and talked and even personally experimented with my own seroquel dosing. You could also try a low dose of the xr at night. I find that even with the XR I do need to split the dose and take it twice daily to get the desired effect. But for some reason my pdoc decided to increase my dose to 800mg, as 400 in the morning and 400 in the night. While it didn't specifically make me sleep, it did make me very lethargic the entire day. It is an extended release formulation that is designed to be taken once daily. My friend's polar medication has increased to 800mg. However, at that point in my life I was neither studying or working and was able to sleep til lunchtime and maybe if I had to be up early and be a well functioning member of society I might have had a problem.

Also, I don't understand why you just can't take 800mg XR at night. I know how you feel.
How did you deal with it? I can take another 50 if needed throughout the day, but I take a 300mg before bed to sleep. Or anything I haven't thought of? I'm 800mgs of Seroquel and I take it all at night. I need to be awake.
