My doctor increased my seroquel from 25mg to 100 mg and it really isnt helping too much with sleep. I have been up to 300mg before and i just didnt like it because it was making me huge going all the way up to 217lbs from 180.

I have noticed my energy levels have come down and I dont wake up as fast in the morning (sleepy for a long period) however I am still only getting 5-6hrs max of sleep.

Interesting thing though..I met a woman on the internet that came down to see me and yes sex was involved and for the first time I really felt loved. I slept like a baby on just 25 mgs of seroquel when she was here by my side. Amazing what a lil lovin from a woman can do.

I think Im going to reduce my seroquel back to 50mgs to combat the weight issue. I have started on the South Beach diet because I had real good luck with it. Funny thing..2 days ago I weighed 187.5lbs and today I weigh 194.. that is definately not cool. The doctor did increase my lamictal to 200 from 100mgs and Im beginning to feel better (not depressed)

Sad thing is,, doctors dont really care if you become big as a house. I guess because it isnt happening to them. I could be wrong. I do know one thing though, at low doses of seroquel my metabolism cranks and I feel like I have a little more testosterone. Im going to try and replace the 100mgs of seroquel with some meditation, gratitude list, and affirmations. Challenge my thoughts like my counselor says

So I guess my question would be this: Does seroquel do something to your metabolism (chemistry in the brain) or does it just make you feel better so you eat more?
