However, more people being treated with Seroquel for affective or schizoid disorders choose to discontinue treatment because of somnolence (sleepiness) than for any other reason. Many people take advantage of this side effect and use Seroquel for insomnia and anxiety. It has been my observation that people tend to feel sleepier at lower dosages than at higher dosages.

This was at 25mgs for 4/5 days. I tried adding ritalin but it just slowed me down even more.
