hey! lots of shrinks are doing this...unfortunately, they tend not to explain to their patients that an antipsychotic is an antipsychotic, no matter what its used for, and they neglect to mention many side-effects. Seroquel gave me nightmares and caused all kinds of problems, and then my then-shrink had the nerve to ask me to take it again, in lower doses, for sleep. Pshaw. I said no, got a straight up SLEEPING PILL (Ambien), and had insomnia no more. The use of seroquel for sleep may be trendy, but I think sleep disorders are best treated with therapy, benzos, and, rarely, short-term use of the barbiturates.
