Re: seroquel and not sleeping

In reply to seroquel and not sleeping, posted by Julius on June 4, 2004, at 17:04:36

> I am swtiching over to Abilify, getting off Seroquel and cannot sleep at night. I have been on 900 mg of Seroquel for three years. I tried taking Benadryl but this does not help. I cannot take any Seroquel for various reasons to help me fall asleep. Please help. Thanks.

i have been switching from seroquel to geodon (like abilify it is "activating", rather than sedating and causes insomnia) and have similar experiences.

although my doctor has been apprehensive, i am currently taking about 12.5 mg. of ambien nightly to sleep.

i have heard that, unlike conventional benzodiazepines, you don't acclimate to ambien and it will consistently cause sleep. there are some that warn against taking ambien long-term though.

i have been switching from seroquel because of the weight gain i experienced while taking it ... sound familiar?

ambien is just one of the many solutions i have read is a solution to sleeplessness ... but one i have heard is effective for chronic insomnia.

look to the future for the release of Estorra another insomnia medication being released later this year.

hope this helps.
