I tried Seroquel for a few months and seemed get more depressed. I felt disconnected from the world. It only worked at 100mg and above. I know that it can be a sleep miracle for some, but I try and avoid antipsychotics for sleep as I think that they shut down too many receptors in the body and long term effects can become a problem.
