Seroquel for Sleep - time for an adjustment?

So, like, I spoke with my pharmacist this morning, and I told him:

I am on 50mg Seroquel XR slow release....so it doesn't put me to sleep fast, and when I wake up in the morning, some of it is still in my system, so I am groggy for 2 or 3 hours in the morning.

UGH.

He suggested that next week, when I see my doctor, that I ask for a change to 50mg REGULAR Seroquel, which hits you faster, to knock me out and put me to sleep FASTER, and, as a bonus, is NO LONGER IN MY SYSTEM at 6 am in the morning, when I wake up...so I am NO LONGER GROGGY in the morning.

Has anyone out there made such a change in their Seroquel medication? If so, how did it go for you?

I hope I hear good news from someone who has made this change!

Have a good day, everyone.
