Regular Seroquel went generic. So instead of paying $350/month, it will cost me $35/month. Isn't that amazing?
I started on regular Seroquel and then moved to XR, which I liked alot better. Regular Serequel makes me very sleepy all day long, I wake up feeling hung over, and just feel 'dumb' all day.
I have applied to Astra Zeneca and am still waiting to hear from them. I would much rather be on Serequel XR.
I am feeling tired, dumb, slow reactions (sorta scary driving) no energy or motivation. I am supposed to volunteer at our local community center tomorrow. If I wake up, I will go. Not sure I will have the energy to stay for my shift.

wow, how lucky is that. I know you prefer xr but to at least have the regular being $5pw is a brilliant safety net. Maybe lower your seroquel dose when taking the regular sero and only take it after 6pm and before 9pm (to give the body sufficient time to avoid day time sedation). Don't take it at all during the day. Gee I wish you you didn't have to go through all this alone. Where are you up to in trying to get under the care of an experienced knowledgeable pdoc?
