WTF? Stress is messing up Seroquel for me!

Posted by Wildman on July 19, 2005, at 14:13:46

I currently take 25-50mg of Seroquel to help me sleep (Lexapro winds me up). Over the last few weeks, as my current job contract winds up and I have to find a new job, you can imagine the stress I am under (large mortgage, 3 kids, etc).
I am finding that I need to take ever larger amounts of Seroquel to help me sleep. The last couple of nights I had to take 75mg and it's taking a really long time to kick in.
Usually it's LIGHTS OUT after an hour of taking just 25mg, but now it takes longer.
I've also started Trileptal 300-600mg in the last month, but am considering ditching it as it does nothing for me and it has an insane co-pay.
Anybody else experience reduced efficacy of pharma during periods of STRESS?!?!?!
