Seroquel (quetiapine) ; hypersomn: Seroquel (quetiapine) can cause hypersomnia, unless the daytime hypersomnia is due to insomnia. Have you had an overnight sleep study? If not, you should. I suspect the seroquel (quetiapine) is mostly for the bipolar disorder. The hypothyroidism may have caused the hypersomnia. It is not good to risk destabilizing your mood by staying up late. That increases the risk of hypomania. Not taking your medication can do the same.

Not really: Seroquel (quetiapine) is prescribed more for bipolar disorder . Yes it can help your insomnia as well. If you need to study late at night , may be you can take before going to bed.Skiping your medication is not a good idea, unless it happens 2-3 times a month. Discuss with your doctor a plan, he or she will guide for better compliance.
