I sleep well. I sleep for 8 to 9 hours but still want to sleep more. I been on it for 2 weeks. I can't tolerate it anymore. I stopped taking it today, I don't need it anyhow (I mean I think it wont help my problem).
> When I first started Lex about 10 months ago, I found that it made me somewhat wired and edgy. After a few weeks, that went away, leaving an enhanced mild hypomania which kept me from sleeping well. The pdoc gave me Seroquel for sleep and it's worked great.

> How well do you sleep? Are you getting enough restful sleep? Make sure you are really resting enough, as I find that if I shortchange my sleep for a few nights in a row (easy to do with three little kids at home) I will be totally shot, energy-wise. Really concentrate on getting enough rest, and see if your energy comes back.
