Theoretically it is the same.
It contains the same dose.
BUT normal Seroquel is (way) stronger, as it lasts for 1/3 of the day.-> In the 1st hours, it knocks you out, fall asleep, last 1-2 hours no effect.
Seroquel XR is better, less sedating, it maintains a quite constant level of the med in your blood.
(Though not 24 hours -theory-, maybe lasts 20 or so. Last hours you will get nervy on a high dose.)
Personal experience. (Though these drugs have different effect on each person.)
I took 200 mg 3 times a day of the normal. (even 700-800 for a while) It was quite devastating.
Seroquel XR is no heaven either, but quite good and most of the time bearable.
Best to take before.
what happens if you combineFocalin xr with seroquel xr
seroquel xr stays in your system for up to a week or two
Seroquel XR
This is a tricky one because Seroquel xr is not approved for the treatment of " dementia-related psychosis"

Depending on dosage, the most common side effect of seroquel XR is sedation, dyzzyness, hunger, sleepiness, vivid dreams, paresthesias, and distonic symptoms.
seroquel XR (eXtender Release) can be taken just one-dose daily; usually 3 hours before bed-time without food or a light-meal. Seroquel immediate release should be taken 2 or 3 times daily. Seroquel XR reduce extrapiramidal symptoms, and common side effects like weight gain with 2-3 times administration (Max. concentration are not so high with XR version)
Yes. I am on it and have been for over a year.
