"i suffer from mainly depression and anxiety.  i have had a few bouts of hypomania.  this was recommended to me to help anxiety and mood swings.  within an hour of taking this medicine i was always somewhat buzzed and not in a good way.  like you have to lie down and sleep or you will become extremely irritable.  the sleep was great on it, however you wake up in a fog for hours.  usually until dinner time for me.  it really flattens you out so you don&#039;t feel much but emotionless and tired.  i took anywhere from 50 to 200 mg and the result was the same.  i am off now and trying safer meds.  seroquel wasn&#039;t for me, glad it helps millions though!"
