minus-squareZerlyna@lemmy.worldOPMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 months agoI switched to seroquel a few weeks ago. Part to help with sleep and also to keep me stable. I am finally sleeping now… 8-10 hours vs. sporadic 2-5. Then I have to unfuck my mind to wake up at 5AM. Takes about 6 hours to shake it off. Is this normal?
