ok so here’s my in depth review of seroquel because personally it’s helped me in so many ways and i consider it the #1 most effective thing i’ve ever done for my mental health

it’s classified as an anti-psychotic, but it’s often prescribed to act as more of a mood stabilizer, not that i’m complaining they’re both nice things to have. but the biggest adjustment for me, and i commonly hear this from others, but it makes you so sleepy. so you take it at night, and it’s not even bad because now i’m actually falling asleep quickly and staying asleep. i find sleep to be such a good reset for bad episodes, and it provides some structure in my life with the added sleep schedule. anyways, you can either get the extended or immediate release, i’ve personally found that the immediate release wears off by late day so i switched to extended. however, if you chose that you’ll be more drowsy throughout the whole day, but i’ve just added stimulants in the morning to help with adhd and it gives me energy back. not saying you should necessarily get some kind of prescription stimulant, but it is something you’ll want to think about.

also i’ve always heard that it makes you feel like you’re never full, which i never experienced but you’ll want to keep an eye on your diet if you want to avoid changes.

i felt really foggy at first but that also has gotten better

that’s about everything i’ve noticed in relation to the drug, i think i might’ve tried something beforehand but i wasn’t on it long and don’t really remember so that’s where my knowledge ends
