In reply to Want to get off Seroquel!!, posted by jerrympls on July 14, 2004, at 19:07:45
Can I ask why you want to get off the Seroquel? I too was put on Seroquel for insomnia in the past. It knocked me out like nothing else I had ever tried before, inc. Valium, Ambien, Xanax, Serax, Trazodone, muscle relaxants, etc...
Was the S not working for your insomnia?
Personally, I let the trial boxes i was given of it run out because i couldn't deal with some of the side effects from it.
You might want to get a second opinion.
Best,
L.> Currently I take 200mg Seroquel, 20mg Ambien (prn) and 20mg Valium for insomnia (yeah, I'm a tough insomniac). I have a new doc (a resident..ugh) and I want to go OFF the Seroquel and perhaps the Ambien and instead take Halcion. However, he's said "You're already taking a benzo (valium) so I'm not comfortable with that..." But my PREVIOUS doc had me on Klonopin, Ambien, Seroquel AND Restoril at one time for insomnia! AND it's in my chart!
