I did the quick 'n dirty Internet search to find out the half-life of Seroquel and guess where it led me to - I made a circle right back here to PB! I got a hit that made mention of a really good website that is a chart full of drug info, alphabetical by brand or generic name.
According to this site Seroquel has a half-life of 6 hours. Sounds kinda short? Another site said 7 hours.
I forget if half life depends on the dose level (I don't think it does) -- the chart says Seroquel typical dose is 300-500 mg. But I'm not taking it for the labeled reasons so that doesn't concern me.
If 6 hours is considered a short-half life, then it ain't the Seroquel that's keeping me drowsy all day!
FYI - the website with the great chart is:
