Depression and sleeping too much...Effexor XR and Seroquel

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 6:22 pm

I don't know how I would have handled my bout of anxiety/depression last year without seroquel. My psychiatrist did not want me to be on a benzo due to its physical addiction and I am just one of those people who get increased anxiety on an anti-depressant. I had a real hard time sleeping until seroquel. I used to take a tiny bit of seroquel in the day and 25mg at night and now I just take the night dose. I sleep 8 to 9 hours and wake up feeling just fine. The negative posts that I have read regarding seroquel seemed to be those people who really take too much.....unless being treated for another mental condition other than anxiety/depression. Every med affects people differently. I hope you find something that helps you through and keep on working on those thoughts....that helps a lot better than the drugs in my case.
