Journal Entry for May 30, 2007 Mood
Wednesday, May 30, 2007

Hey everyone, haven't been online a couple of days and I'm missing you all. I took 150 mg. of Seroquel Mon. night, (prescribed 200 mg.), was up for a couple of hours, fell asleep again for another 5 or 6 hours, around 8 pm. This med is kiling me. It's taking my life from me. Tonight I didn't take anything, tossed and turned until 4 and decided to get caught up on my journals & hugs. I took some zanaflex and that has helped me get drowsy. I have to call the doc and get some changes for my sleep. I can't take this anymore...grrrrrrr. (Can you tell it's making me irratable?) No matter what dosage I try with the seroquel I always wake up like a zombie. It isn't even safe for me to drive for a couple of hours after I get up. It causes me to talk in my sleep which often wakes me up and I have dreams on top of dreams. Back to sleep, hopefully for only a few more hours so I can get up earlier. The zanaflex doesn't give me such a hangover. Love to you all. (Pray for Dad, he get's his results this week from his cartorid ultra sound).

    I take serequel patti and have been on it for 2 years...when i was first put on it...it made me sleepy...so much so that i slept away the first 4 weeks i was on it...like you were saying get up fall asleep for more hours etc. etc. but after 3-4 weeks i tolerated it and it really only helps when i go to bed because i take a larger dose...and some times i only take the night ones...and it is a good drug it has helped me heaps...but it is still your choice...but i thought i would let you know my experiences with it.. *hugs* missed ya
