In reply to Seroquel a COMATOSE-like med...pls help, posted by jay on April 14, 2005, at 17:50:27
I stopped the Seroquel. :-) Seriously Jay, you should ask your doctor if you can take some amitryptaline (I think I spelled that wrong) -
10 mg will knock you out and you won't have the nightmares. It's a tricyclic antidepressant. It's such a low dose that it won't give you any of the usual tricyclic side-effects.I know a few people who take it.

> OK....I've had problems with Seroquel. To get it to a dose where I can sleep (between 100-200 mg's) I have absolutly awful sleep, horrible dreams, and wake up feeling miserable...like I'd been run over by a truck....in a COMA for years. The smaller doses don't make much of a difference, but I was thinking, maybe I am sleeping too much during the day, and that is why I have problems (and hence, one's with Seroquel) at night. So, today I've tried using my Ritalin to keep me wide eyed, and I'll try going down to 75 mg's at bedtime. Anyone else have these problems, and how have you taken care of them?
