I understand what you mean about there being NO substitute for Seroquel treating OCD and anxiety... it makes a HUGE difference.

I wish you could just take your dose at bedtime. I've been taking my 700mg for quite a while and it really messes me up. I usually have to be in bed within an hour.

Even though you take it 4-5 hours before bed, it stays in your system and can still cause sedation. If you take the extended release form, I'm sure the sedation is worse over the course of the day.

I'm glad you had a good time at the festival, I'm just sorry that you couldn't enjoy yourself for longer. It sounds like you are in a tough spot with your new friend, but I think it would be okay if you just told him that his comments about your other friend make you "uncomfortable."
