> 25mg seroquel affects me like pill-induced narcolepsy. When it was perscribed to me for anxiety, it turned the situation i was anxious about into a total fiasco or worse, because i would suddenly drop and sleep wherever i was- (airport, restaurant, and even work) -not to awaken for hours. My normally colorful and eventful dreams were weak, brown and boring.
Wow, how odd! I can see what you're saying about suddenly dropping -- I've taken it three times, and the second time I was sitting on my couch reading and was planning to move to the bed once I got sleepy and woke up, still sitting up, three hours later, quite confused, but I've never been unable to stay awake if I had to, and if anything it's made my dreams much MORE vivid.

> Ambien perscribed to me for sleep turned me into a furiously raging aggressor looking for someone to verbally abuse or something precious to tear up. For anyone who knows me, that is a shocking personality change that would have been thought impossible for me.Ambien just made me feel slightly hallucinogenic and didn't let me sleep for very long, although as a young teenager when I was on it I apparently had some kind of "episode" that they never told me the details of.
