Can anybody share about being on SEROQUEL?

@derryman -- thinking of you and wondering how things are going with the anxiety and sleep challenges you were experiencing?

So sorry you are going through this. Iam going through the same thing. How can you feel so normal at night and wake up so Anxious and messed up.

So sorry to hear your are going through such a hard time, @anniegk, with feeling normal at night and waking anxious and "messed up."

Does anything help you get through the anxiety in the morning?

@derryman -- how is it going for you? Are you still experiencing fear and anxiety when you wake up?

I am still having mornings where I feel the Anxiety. I do have some mornings where it isnt as bad. I try to get busy and take my mind off of it. Sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesnt. Iam on so many drugs that there are days I feel so drowsy. That makes me anxious when i feel drowsy.

I'm on Seroquel to level my moods. I take it at night. Any information you can relay to me would be appreciated.

I have had a periodic irregular heartbeat that i have had on and off for the last 45 years or so. Iam now 72 and a year ago it started getting worse. This year is even worse. This causes extreme anxiety for me. They finally added a Beta Blocker to my mix of meds. It does seem to help the irregular heartbeat. I take that along with my Buspar in the AM for the anxiety. The Beta Blocker and the buspar make me very drug out. It takes me until late afternoon before i feel less drugged. I hate the drug out feeling but i hate the anxiety even worse. This depression and Anxiety has been going on for over a year. I have a pyschologist and a GP I go to. I sure wish i could get off some of these meds. Iam on 250 mgs Seroquel, 45. Mgs Mirtazapine, Propanolol, and buspar, lisinopril. I feel like a walking drug store.

God, I wish I could help. I've only had a touch of what you are going thru. Two books help me..How to stop worrying and start living by Dale Carnegie and Spontaneous Healing by Dr Weil...Having someone with me so I can talk, going outside helps, help groups if there are any around you, there are people to talk to on the phone if you can find them..church people...my heart is with you..you are not alone...don't give up, please.

derryman, how long have you been going through this. I have had Anxiety and depresson for years on and off. This time i have been battling it for a year and a half. In the past, i have went into remisson...this time i have not. Iam now 72 years old. I wonder if that has something to do with it. There are some days that are better than others. I just wish it would go away. I also have a irregular heartbeat that causes anxiety and i take 60 ER propranolol for it. I take 250 mg er seroquel, 45 mgs of Mirtazapine and buspar, and lisinopril in addition to the propranolol. I feel like a walking drugstore. I wish i could get off some of these drugs.

I just started taking this drug as of yesterday for PTSD. I took it before bed because I was told that it could make you tired and today I feel like a zombie. Does your body ever get use to this medication?

Ginak523, how much are you taking? I found i was less zombie like when they gave me the extended release.
