I took seroquel for close to two years for sleep and it worked well for a long time, however recently I was having issues. If I take the small 25mg doses during the day for anxiety my 300mg dose at night may not be effective, then i'd be screwed. i started at 100mg and increased to 200 pretty quickly, then 300 after a year and at 300 I think I was getting a little dull and maybe depressive. after the first year at 100/200mg I got sleep, but not the same good sleep and would wake up in the night alot. eventually I grew to hate the way it felt when it kicked in too, I would have trouble sleeping because of that icky heart racing feeling and being hungry and stuff.
just switched to trazodone 100mg and it is working surprisingly well. I'm only 3 days in though.
atypical bipolar. delayed sleep phase syndrome.
current meds: welbutrin sr 100mg, seroquel xr 150mg at night. trazodone 50/100mg (just started)
