I was on Seroquel for a short time it didnt help me, hope my story helped you in some way. I liked Remeron it helped me sleep but had nightmares whike on it
ive been on serqual for almost 2 years now and i have had no problems with drozziness and it does not effect my sleep, i take 150 mg at 5 every evening and i feel find, maybe if you took it at a different time, re supper time u wouldnt feel so tired , just a thought, give the drug a chance it really helped stablize my mood and make for a much better ealthier days for me
@A MyDepressionTeam Member thank you 🙏🏼 and you’re absolutely right they have to list every side effect and sometimes it’s not even a real side effect from the medication :( I decided against it for now because I am also taking gabapentin and Remeron which are both sedating as well .
@A MyDepressionTeam Member Sejla Wow aren't you glad you asked this question? For some of us this is a long arduous journey(me-40 years) so everyone has different opinions based on their experiences. I've only been diagnosed as bi-polar for 30 years but I had extensive experience in Mental Health the previous 10 years. If you are still trying to wrap your head around being bipolar take the time...after awhile it'll make sense. I have to admit though I never really have paid attention to side effects unless I think I am experiencing them. And that's probably a good thing. I trust my doctor too. Not that you don't trust your doctor but again it's got to do with time spent with the doctor. I have had my doctor for 30 years (since diagnosis). The main thing about being bipolar is the highs and lows. For me it is mostly lows with an occasional high(say once or twice a year). The highs and lows can be very dangerous either way. I am currently recovering from being extremely depressed. It took 2 changes to medicine to stop the depression. I am very grateful to my doctor. Well I hope this helps. Good luck tomorrow. Just remember it'll take effect right away. I bet they have you on a super lose dose anyways. Take care. Annie
