To get solid sleep i was having to take SIX HUNDRED mg of Seroquel. 400 gave me parasomnias... i would sleep but i would keep waking up and be all messed up and stuff. and i was not even in an acute state as is Abbie. So you see there are many different factors to consider.
Mixed moods are notoriously difficult to control. They involve the energy of mania so, in a mixed state, sleep can be one of the first things to go out the window - either become irregular, scarce, or absent.
In case you had not seen it or all of it, Abbie originally started posting about this in her thread Any one ever felt this way?? but it sounds like you have since you mention the Seroquel.
Forgive me if i am out of place; I am answering you because Abbie has indicated she might not be around... i hope you don't mind... I hope Abbie doesn't mind...

Dear Abbie thank you for letting us know. Good Luck and hang in there! I will be keeping you safe in my thoughts as i'm sure will others.

Let me go back and read,"Any one ever felt this way?" I have a hard time reading sometimes,so I don't read alot of the threads at this time. I go into something like a overload,if I read to much. I wish that I didn't have this problem.
Thanks for letting me know. I'm on 300 Mgs of Seroquel a night. They want me to take over 400 Mgs.,but my ear started ringing,and I went back down to 300 Mgs. The seroquel may not be the problem. I'm taking other things into consideration.
I have mood swings,and I took a test on Thursday at my counsellors office,and I ended up saying yes to all of the questions. My Nurse Practitioner said in a report that I may be Bipolar,and this test at my counsellors office was conclusive.
I'm thinking what. Do I have about 5 mental disorders? These things never end in my life. I go from disorder,to disorder,to many disorders at one time. These individual disorders are not at full strength all at once,thank goodness,but they are bad enough to keep me afflicted,and wondering.
I didn't sleep well with 300Mg's of seroquel last night. It happens sometimes. BF
