ttt, I have no first hand knowledge about seroquel. I am now on my third day free of zyprexa. What I can tell thus far is that withdrawing from it does seem to affect my sleep. I don't sleep all that well anyway, but the last two nights I have been up past 4am before I got to sleep. Last night was rather difficult as I felt like my skin was crawling and tingling all night long. It was sort of like a low level speed. If I can't sleep at night I don't sweat it too much. I know that eventually I will get tired and catch a few hours of sleep during the day to catch up on the lack of sleep the night before. I know it can be frustrating not being able to sleep, but I've had insomnia since I was a little kid so I have learned to live with it. I get out of bed and try to do stupid boring things so that I'm not focusing on the inability to fall asleep. It can be very aggrevating not being able to fall asleep, so I don't fight it anymore.
