I hope that your psychiatrist can help.

All the best.
I did end up seeing my pdoc the next day. I was escalating at that point.

She increased my nighttime dose, but she prescribes medication to be taken prn (as needed) during the day because the amount I need varies.
She said this sometimes happens with patients who take Seroquel.

Other patients take small doses (usually 50mg) off-label (accepted and widely used by medical professionals but not approved by FDA) prn for sleep.
