In reply to My ambien saga--where I am now--info on Seroquel, posted by Dona on February 21, 2002, at 17:59:35
Hi Donna,
I've used seroquel to help me sleep through the night. I personally only needed a flea-sized dose of 12.5 mg. At first I felt the sedative effect strongly. That lessened, but it still helped me sleep through the night. If I take too much, I'm groggy until early afternoon of the next day, but otherwise, I've liked it. I've also experimented a couple of times with using a crumb to two of serquel (and I do mean crumb) for extreme anxiety during the day when I didn't want to knock myself out by taking more klonopin than I'm used to, and that definitely seems to help.
I hope the seroquel helps you and I wish you the best of luck with your program.
Emme> To all those who remember my post a few weeks ago about my ambien addiction, I confessed to my therapist and psych. and am starting an intensive outpatient program next week. I guess that is good news because I will get this demon out of my life, but right now I am an anxious mess. I have to be without ambien for at least two days so that is why I cannot start program until next week. I tried to not take any last night and wound up forcing my husband to give me one. Poor man--he does not know what to do.
> Anyway, I saw psych today and am going to try 200mg of seroquel at night to relax and sleep. Any body have any input about the seroquel? I am still taking 60mg day of prozac. I have a constant headache and sick feeling, but I guess it will get better--I pray it will get better.
