Posted on Mon, 19 Jan 2015
Question: I have been taking 50mg immediate release morning and noon and 50mg at night of Seroquel and did notice some sedation.Under GPs guidance today I have started on 100mg XR of Seroquel and will continue to take 50mg immediate release at bedtime.I have really noticed a lot more sedation today from the morning dose.My question is,does the body generally adapt to the higher dose in terms of feeling less sedation and if so what sort of period could I expect before I do adjust.Thank you Regards XXXX
