Do Seroquel And Prozac Cause Drowsiness?

My doctor prescribed Seroquel for me to help me sleep. I was very depressed at the time and then had ECT treatment. After 12 treatments the depression lifted, but now I am very drowsy for most of the day and have to force myself to do anything. I am also on Prozac. Do either of these medications have a hangover effect?

Yes, the drugs may cause side effects like drowsiness and as you have completed the depression course of treatment I suggest you to ask for reduction in the dosage of the treatment to your physician.
