> cee700mg is a lot. I'm not sure how bad your situation is but yea that would definitely give most people a "hangover". I take Seroquel at night to get to sleep but 50mg to 100mg totally knocks me out. I've gone as high as 300mg when I was completely manic but yea have you tried a lower dose or does that effect the AD/anti-anxiety effects you say you get from it?
Good luck,
-Jay

I've read here higher doses not as sedating. If bipolar need higher doses. Me couldn't tolerate 50mg. Phillipa
