> Ok, Im no chemist, but I'm on Seroquel too. I used to take 200mg at bedtime and 50mg 2x during the day. I always seemed to get incredibly drowsy after I took my day-time dose. My night-time dose seemed to have a more relaxing, but could-still-keep-my-eyes-open-if-I-wanted-to kind of effect. Now I only take Seroquel during the day if I need to (i'm getting really hypomanic or panic-attacky), but still take it at night. I does help me sleep. Also interesting to note, if I take 300mg at night for a few consecutive nights, I start waking up feeling depressed. So, 200-250 at night is the magic dose for me. I'm also on Depakote (750mg/day), just fyi.

> So, in short, I love that seroquel at 200mg at bedtime. For me it works really well in combo with Depakote.

>Hey, that is great news....very positive, thanks. I found Seroquel hard to start on, but once on it for awhile at bigger doses, some of the more troublesome side effects seem to go away, while it still helps good with sleep and psychic anxiety as well as dysphoria. Best wishes, and thanks!!
