Seroquel=Sleep wonder-drug!

In reply to why did seroquel cure me and then not ...., posted by Jeroen on June 25, 2010, at 3:08:58

Seroquel, in very small doses (50-100mg) works WONDERS for sleep if scripted off-label. It stops working after using it daily very soon--but if reserved for those nights where you just can't get "over the top" it is a Godsend.

I also should mention that, not being a benzo or z-drug, it has almost no abuse liability.

My only complaint is that it puts you into such a deep sleep you will not move the entire night...I have awoken with my whole side of my body "asleep" and that's no fun.

If anyone has 1-3 nights of insomnia per week and either their z-drug (Ambien, Lunesta, Sonata) or benzo (diazepam, temazepam, etc.) is not working anymore or they fear they may be getting an addiction going please ask your doc about trying 50mg of Seroquel! I am in amazement at how well it works...but could not see how someone could take 400-800mgs of it per day and expect to stay AWAKE. Wow.


Please note--my Doctorate is in History, though I have a BS in Organic Chemistry and was a Pharmacy Tech for awhile. Point is, I AM NOT AN MD!! Please do not trust anything that I say! ; ')
