Just got moved to this stuff because the geodon wasn't working well. I'm sure there is a thread already about this but I couldn't find them. So I'm starting another one. I'm mostly interested in any experiences with this med, side effects, good effects. Any and everything really.

Thanks in advance

K,

We were all having problems! Like I said on another post: It's pretty bad when your bp board messes with you :D ! I know they were doing the best they can to get it back up and running but, I thought it was kind of funny!

Love,

Jamie

Well I'm not sure if your replies were meant for me or another thread but thank you just the same. So far the only complaint I have about seroquel is that makes me sleep ALL the time. Granted I wasn't sleeping at all before so nighttime sleep is a plus. But I also want to wake up to my alarm and have the ability to get up and dressed without walking into a wall, falling to the floor, and promptly falling back asleep! (I'm not kidding, I really did this one). I hope once my body gets used to it I won't have such a hard time waking up.

But in case you didn't know, driving half asleep is like driving drunk. Try to avoid if you can, I have couple of curbs my car has been too familiar with the last few mornings. :nono:
