How Does Seroquel Affect You?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Orange Park, FL

I started taking Seroquel about a week and a half ago. It allows me to sleep which is wonderful. I am a bit groggy when I wake up though. I've also noticed that I don't have much energy though out the day. That might be my mood still trying to even out. How do you guys feel on it? Does it make you sluggish?

I take 300 mg each night and it really helps me sleep. When I first started taking it I felt a little groggy in the mornings and it was harder to get through the day without feeling like I need a nap. But, after being on it for a couple months my body has adjusted and it really doesn't make me feel that way anymore. I hope you have good luck with it as I believe it is a good medication.

50mg knocks me out. I fall asleep and suddenly it's the next day lol.

I never take any more than 25mg to 50mg and make sure I take it no later than 9pm. It is a good for me and helps combat my anxiety.

What is your dosage? At 400mg I was a zombie and eventually developed diabetic symptoms. The zombie feeling never went away for me. I quit taking it. I take 50mg now on a temporary basis to sleep.
