I used to take it up until about a week ago when I found out im pregnant. I didnt get hallucinations with it though. If I didnt go to sleep right away I would get restless legs and arms, and I would get hungry or I would just become wide awake. But everybodys reactions to it are different. Maybe you should speak with your doc. I know at one point a few years ago cuz I was on it for about five, the doc had me on way to much of it and I slept for days at a time, I would literally have to drink 7 or 8 energy drinks just to stay awake. So it might not be the drug for you or maybe you are on too high of a dosage.

I have only been on the med for just under two weeks and I have already noticed some side effects - like some leg twitching, cloudy state of mind - on the lower doses I would fall asleep within an hour and sleep for about 8-10 hours. I am now at 600mg and it takes at least 2 hours before I get sleepy (after some hardcore food cravings) - I have not noticed any weight gain yet (as I have been suffering through my foo cravings without actually indulging). I did have some auditory hallucinations on about the 3rd day of taking the drug, but I was also diagnosed with psychosis so it could have been due to that. The main this I notice is that my moods are more stable through the day - I only take a night dose after I get off work at 11:30pm but the medication slightly wears off around 10pm and I get somewhat hypomanic during that time.

I take seroquel but in a baby dose. As some start out with 400 mg, i'm on 25 mg and i'm passed out when I go to bed. It does wonders for me as I have obsessive thinking and can't sleep without a sleep med. I love it and i'm happy I only need a little bit. My daughter on the other hand starts to hallicunate!

I was on a baby dose of Seroquel for 2 years and just could not get up in the mornings. It cost me two jobs because I was having trouble getting to work on time. I just discontinued it about 1 month ago and started taking Depakote.
I have had no side effects from Depakote so far, and I am much more aware and my ups and downs have leveled out substantially, even though being unemployed is really tough.

I'm only very recently on Seroquel and am on a 200mg dose. I get sleepy, but have noticed no side-effects.

Talk to the doc.

oh my goodness, I feel so much better. I have been having these hallucinations too. I've lost 90 pounds and they never adjusted my meds. I take 300 mgs. at night and have noticed this, so I lowered it and it made a difference. Talk to your doc about it.
