In reply to Seroquel to take the edge off?, posted by KaraS on November 10, 2004, at 16:33:16
hi kara:
half-life of seroquel is 6 hours. i am (supposed to be) taking seroquel 25 mg bid (twice a day). when i followed this regimen strictly, i did noticeably perk up around 3 or 4 in the afternoon (i would take morning dose around 8:30am). also while 25 mg is great for getting to sleep, i found i did not sleep soundly thru the night.
what i wound up doing for a while was taking 50 mg at night if i had time to get a lot of sleep, and not take the morning dose. i would get quite irritable during the day trying this (although i was quitting smoking at the same time ... but still should not be hitting my coworkers with rulers no matter how funny i think it is!)
anyway it's a bit of a ramble.
but for your friend:
seroquel half-life == 6 hours
