i didn't gain weight I have been heavy my whole life, but have had a hell of  a time losing... but going for gastric bypass june 3 2008.  I take 800mg of seroquel for my PTSD - without out I WOULD NOT SLEEP EVER... my trauma comes back at night - in the cover of darkness (I  would force myself to stay awake for days on end with my meds)...

 

My depression is not that bad, but I am agoraphobic so I use my seroquel at night, and my ativan 3 times a day. 

 

I realize you are going to flip when you realize how much seroquel I take, but I am a rape and abuse survivor and without my seroquel - I would have killed myself by now... I am not afraid of the men that hurt me by day, but by night - I relive those days over and over... in fact, even with the medication that does LET ME SLEEP IN PEACE, I still have to have the light on.

what i meant was i would stay awake for days on end - if I couldn't take my seroquel and my ativan to sleep... sorry for the confusion.

 

when i was in prison i was on 200mg morning, 200mg afternoon, and 800 at night... that was alot.  but now I just take it at night.
