i have been taking seroquel for under a week, 25mg am and 25mg pm. i was supposed to increase the pm dosage to 50mg, but even 8 hours after a dose i'm still far too stoned to function. i can't drive or get anything done. i'm taking it for anxiety and have been led to think from my research that i should expect to be taken up to (at least) 150mg/day.

i'm practically nodding off as it is. i've also been having unpleasantly vivid dreams, abdominal pain, a constant headache, and lower back pain. some of these *could* be attributed to the fibromyalgia, but i feel they are largely related to the medication at this point.
can i expect to have SE's diminish over time, even if i keep upping my dosage? i can't keep going on living in this stupor for much longer. if i can't bear raising the dosage, will i still be able to reap the benefits of the drug at a dosage considered below therapeutic levels? it has been difficult finding sufficient information on this drug as to these questions. thank you for any help or advice you may offer.
