swanny Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 pdoc doubled my dose of seroquel xr from 400mg to 800mg. after a few days im not talking to myself as much and most of the voices have gone away. disturbed thoughts nearly all gone BUT now my only problem is im sooo tired i cant get out of bed. i cant be bothered doing anything. i take 400 am and 400 pm. its no where as sedating as regular seroquel which i was on 4 years ago. i wouldnt call it drowsiness exactly. just tired. but not tired enough to fall asleep. i just ly in bed ALL day. will this go away? ive been on 800 for about 5 days now...

swanny Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 About two weeks it took for me to get used to it and then I was up and about back to my usual self. what dose were/are on? i always thought smaller doses of seroquel are more sedating than higher doses. cant be true. i find 800mg more sedating than 400mg...

Maddy Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Believe it or don't. I was on 600mg XR. Prior to that I was on 800mg IR if I recall correctly. I'm currently titrating up on Fanapt. I'm liking the Fanapt much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that would make a difference since I never took mine that way. Sorry. You could/should contact your pdoc and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
