In reply to Exhaustion from Seroquel, posted by whitman on December 30, 2002, at 10:11:49
I have been on Seroquel for a year now, for anxiety and frequent nightly awakenings due to PTSD. I was also on 50mg every night. I've experienced two things.
First, I found that I could cut the dose down to 25mg and still get the same helpful effects. I sleep through the night and my anxiety is much more managable. Second, if I take the 25mg on an empty stomach about one hour prior to my bedtime, I get faster results and wake up feeling quite refreshed. The morning grogginess did pass after a couple of months on the med.
Good luck to you. Different people have different experiences, the above has been my own.
