For those of you who do take it, that is.

I take 1750mgs per day. My doc kept adding more to it because I am still highly and easily agitated by other people's stupidity. Oh and there was the incident where I admitted that I would injure people for being so stupid. Also, she was trying to help me sleep without actually prescribing me yet another medication (I already take 7 twice a day). It didn't work for me, so I ended up with a sleeping med anyway. It doesn't really have any adverse side effects for me it seems, but of course everything effects everyone differently. It did make me gain a little weight (18 pounds in the 2 years I have been on it), but it happens with some medications regardless. Serequel doesn't seem to be a bad med for me, and I'm sure it really helps some other people too.

I just got off of it. I was taking 75 mg and I got tired from it and went to sleep. Also gained weight which is something this drug can do.

I don't anymore but I used to take 100 mg even though I was prescribed 400mg. It used to make me sleepy and zoned out. I didn't what was going on around me and I kept on feeling like I was going to go crazy so I stopped taking it.

i started with 400mg from off my last manic phase to bring me down and keep me down; over the past 5-6 months i had it decreased to 200mg because i would have a hard time being awake in the morn even with 7-8+ hrs sleep and coffee would do nothing for me; now i feel good/awake , not groggy, and i only drink a max 1 cup coffee a day
