approximately how long do you guys think I should take seroquel before going to sleep? I am using it for sleep but would rather just take ambien or lunesta and klonopin. but I am diagnosed bipolar.
seems like the only thing seroquel has done to help that is make me a little more moody and flat/zombified but am going to give it a few more weeks to see if it shuts down the thoughts in my head/high energy to where i can sleep normally without anything...
does seroquel work that way? can it so called "rebalance" a chemical imbalance and help me sleep again
same thing happened with me years ago wear I all of a sudden got high energy and songs in head/racing thoughts and severe insomnia, and Effexor fixed it. but tried effexor again years later and had exact opposite affect of making everything worse
so I am just worried Seroquel really won't "balance" what I need it to in the way that Effexor did
can anyone take a minute to educate me or take a guess as to what might help? it would be VERY much appreciated!
