> I think that Seroquel's sleep benefits might be better at *lower* doses at which it's mainly an anti-histamine. Higher doses leads to noradrenergic effects which could "burn" through the antihistamine drowsiness. I'm on it at 12.5 mg and am finding I sleep better and longer than when I was on 50 mg.

That is very interesting. I will try it at 12.5 mg. Some patients on www.askapatient.com report using such small doses. That will entail cutting a 25 mg tablet in half. Is that what you do? How many hours sleep do you get out of 12.5 mg?
