Is seroquel really helping me?

Posted by Beckett on March 18, 2014, at 1:31:42

Hello,

I haven't been around for awhile....

I was given 200mg of Seroquel in hospital for sleep and its antidepressant affect. That was January, and I try to take 50mg, and find myself breaking down and taking an addition 200mg. I do sleep well and deeply with the Seroquel, but I have difficulty waking, and I am concerned that it affects my driving in the earlier part of the day.

I am concerned as well that antipsychotics will not be kind to me if I am fortunate enough to enjoy longevity.

I have tried to reduce my dose but haven't found a way to sleep without luck. I do have an appointment with a CBT sleep specialists.

Question: If I cannot take benzodiazepines, could I take Sonata?

For what it is worth, my medications are:

Lyrica. 500mg in the evening
30mg remeron at bedtime
Guanfacin. 1mg nightly

Lamictal 200mg. AM
Tramadol ER

I'm one of us blessed with insomnia since grammar school.

*Sigh*
