Wow, that's awful, Doctor Feelgood (I love that song, haha). I've taken 25mg of Seroquel three times now (I try not to use it often), and every time it's effectively put and kept me asleep, but every time except for one I've had very realistic, bizarre dreams and/or sleep paralysis. Last night after I took it I was so sure that I actually *crawled over my boyfriend and fell headfirst off of the bed* that I asked him about it when we got up and he looked at me like I was a lunatic. Fortunately even though I was SURE it had really happened, when it "happened" I was laughing, because -- well come on, picture a 23-year-old girl just randomly doing a slow-mo somersault over the side of her bed and collapsing in a fit of giggles because... well, that would be a really ridiculous thing to do!
I'm really familiar with that sort of dream and sleep paralysis though, and I've done enough research on it that it doesn't scare me anymore, so I'm okay, but obviously Seroquel isn't the answer for you. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience!
