i feel abit more leveled out, if that makes sense, no ups and downs, just nice and steady during the whole day, and i do have the option of taking a single 25mg if needed. xxxx

I know what you mean when you say you feel more leveled out as I also have ups and downs.

I am seeing my psychiatrist later this month and will ask about the xl version of seroquel. Do you know if the xl is a new medication?

Hope you continue to do so well xx

Sounds like the seroquel xl is working well for you. Congratulations on your weight loss. It is so much harder to lose weight when taking medication, I am definatley going to ask my Psychiatrist about this medication!

I've also been taking seroquel (300mg in the morning and 300mg at night) the XL one. The only thing I dislike about them is the sedative affect. I take them in the morning and I can usually stay awake till 4pm and then I crash and have to wake up to take the second dose at 8-9pm. In a few days I am to go back to my doctor and have them changed to 600mg at night and see if that helps. So glad to hear they are working well for you.

Hi there. U do get used to the triedness. But i dont see the sense of taking them am and pm.as there slow release. I would go to doc and ask for pm only and when u take them once aday there not the worry of missing them it just easyier. Im actully beening wean down now as they have done there job and got me well again. Good luck keep us posted.
