How is quetiapine going for you ?

Hi there, f32 diagnosed a year ago with bp type 2.

My psychiatrist prescribed me quetiapine like four month ago, initially at 50mg. Immediately we lowered the dose because it would made me sleep 14 hours in a row.

Right now I take 12.5 mg, and it's still too strong for me. I take it early in the evening so it doesn't prevent me from waking up in the morning. But an hour after my dose it hits me hard. Like I can't stand up, my mind is slowed, I struggle to keep my eyes open, I forget stuff on my bedtime routine (locking my door, charging my stuff...)

And even if I take the dose at 8pm, I still struggle to get up in the morning. I fall back asleep, I struggle to walk or to take my shower.

Anyone else relating ? How do you handle quetiapine ?
