I am so impatient with meds.
So am I. Come here and post. Gain some support to help you hang in there with it.
I am going to read all I can about Seroquel.
Remember immediate release and XR (extended release) are completely different with completely seperate benefits and side effects. I have a 12 page thread about XR here Question About Seroquel Xr, For Anxiety, Not For Insomnia which mapped out my entire journey with it, if that helps.
Sugar craving was a big issue. It is still around but manageable.
XR is given for daytime issues such as anxiety, emotional deregulation, mania etc. Immediate release is given more for insomnia. It's what most on here take it for from what I have seen. To stay asleep etc. After a few weeks XR stopped making me sleepy. It builds up in your system and though taken at night a few hrs before bed, it actually works the next day. I think there is a timeframe at night that it's released but for me it helps mostly from the build up in my body. And I have been waking up every night for a while from nightmares so it doesn't seem to help for nightimes. But it seems you need it for the daytime anyway.
Anyway, I will be happy to answer any questions about Seriquel XR. I did take the immediate release but for only 2 nights before I ditched it in my safe so I won't know much about that but many on here do.
