Days 5 & 6:
No problems falling asleep. No daytime anxiety, either. I am still waking up too early, maybe 4:30-5:30am with fitful sleep, sweating, weird body sensations, and sometimes nightmares. It seems to go away once I take my morning generic Effexor 75mg around 8am. I think there is a good chance that I am experiencing mini-withdrawal every morning. Will need to talk to the doc about splitting the dose a.m./p.m. or adding a little in the evening.
So until I get that sorted out I don't think I can make a fair judgement of how sedating Seroquel is during the day. It doesn't seem to be. As for appetite, it's pretty normal. Since I am able to exercise I think I will actually shed the extra kgs I put on from lithium.
