My concern is that it might cause insomnia when you stop it and if you suffer from side effect and have to stop it, what are you going to do with insomna? If you do not have side effect but if you stop it, you have insomna. Now you have no choice but take it forever. If you know the answeres to all of these concerns, please reply. thank you very much.
My Dr. did not seem to care much about side effects and did not answere or provide info needed. I have no place else to ask. My Dr. said my insomnia could last from 2yrs to 5yrs and I have to take seroquel for 1 to 2 yrs minimum, else look for another Dr. for second opinion. I feel uncertain and discouraging.
