A member asked:

Will crushing seroquel (quetiapine) xr cause it to work as fast as the regular seroquel (quetiapine)?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: That would negate the purpose of your expensive time release pill. Please talk with your physician more about your desire for sleepiness, and your need for sleep with a new baby. This can be complicated. Good luck
