I would only take it at bedtime and I noticed that at work the next day (12+hrs after last dose) that I would be all "speedy" and "wired". I think it is a rebound effect from the dopamine receptors being blocked and then it lifts and shazam!!

>Hi Mitch,
I think you might be on to something there. I too had that problem with Seroquel, but I became irritable, not hypomanic. Why are these meds being perscribed once a day if they have such short half lives??? My mood is enough of a rollercoaster, I don't need a med to exacerbate it!I have done what medlib suggested, and am taking 10 mgs of powder am and pm. Already I feel much calmer.
I so appreciate your responses. I was getting scared. I just couldn't figure what the heck was going on with me...And my pdoc didn't know either. Go figure!
Again, many thanks
Chloe
