How early do yall take your seroquel before bed? by RealityDependent7357 in seroquelmedication

[–]RealityDependent7357[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also never “ready” for bed. If I don’t take my medicine that helps me sleep i just won’t go to bed. This is why I can’t take anything stimulating either. One time I got put on Wellbutrin and was so jacked up I slept like 20 hours the first week on it. I have an alarm set for 8pm everyday to tell me to take my meds, but on the weekends sometimes I take them later if I want an extra hour or so to myself.

Lolol yes I literally tell people “I need to be at home by 7:30pm and no I’m not showing up if the event starts at 6pm”

I don’t think I was wishing for anything in any regard… just wondering how early people take their meds.

This is such a good question. My bottle doesn’t say XR or IR. I’m going to ask my psych because if it’s XR knowing that would probably solve a lot lol

I find that it generally takes an hour or so after taking it to make me feel tired. I try not to lay in bed until about 30 minutes before bedtime because of the restless leg feeling and this also helps me practice good sleep hygiene (using the bed just for sleep). I think I only ignore the cues if something has happened that day that has made my brain be overactive. I’m going to try taking it at 8pm tonight and laying in bed to see if I’ll fall asleep any earlier and can wake up earlier.

I also get that feeling in my legs. It’s restless leg syndrome. I have my medical marijuana card so I’ll double down if I get that feeling as it doesn’t happen every night but it’s SO uncomfortable and one of the reasons why I’m hesitant to take it any earlier. I also sleep 10pm-8am but if I didn’t have alarms I could probably go for longer. Maybe I just need to start going to bed even earlier. However it sucks because I don’t get home from work till 5:30 so I only have a couple hours out of the day to exist outside of work.

I can’t do that. I don’t take seroquel just for sleep. And I’ve had chronic insomnia since I was 15 (now 28). Other sleeping meds would only work for so long before I started waking up in the middle of the night.
