I found Seroquel made me very sleepy. I took it at night and fell into a deep sleep, however I struggled to get up the net day. I was almost sedated but not quite. Not ideal if you are working. It does work though.

I am founding the side effects are worse. I have insomnia, weight gain because it leads to binge eating especially during night times,feeling like walking in my sleep searching for carbohydrates and sweets especially sweets.I seems not to get better and am living in very remote area and do not get to see psgiatrist when I need him,\ hit the most.Also on Rovitril or Clonazepam,and Lamortigien 300 mg per day.It seems like I am founding myself in this slimy horrible pit,and don't seem to get myself out of it.Am bipolar, so sometimes leads to mania depression. So this seroquel does not seem to work for me,feeling suicidal.

I find this works well for me. I have just been upped to taking 2 per night and it gives me the sleep I need and helps with the anxiety. It is one of a few drugs that doesn't give me any more horrible side affects than a dry mouth.
The private clinic i do stay in every now and then use this as a PRN med for us patients when we are upset or anxious during any time of day/night.
