Hi Lady, I had trouble sleeping for so long. Nothing seemed to help. Three years ago I had a minor manic episode and they put me on Seroquel. It helped the mania but I started sleeping. I kept on the Seroquel for that reason alone. I share your worries about not sleeping without the Seroquel.
Just a word of caution. I had been put on a higher dosage of Seroquel. I started to get general anxiety problems and it lasted for many weeks. I finally realized that it was working against me and the doctor agreed that I should lower the dosage. My sleep is not as good but I feel so much better. I am waking up between 5 and 6 am quite often. I still get 7 hours sleep but I am not used to being up and about so early.
I secretly would like to get off the Seroquel but I share your concerns about sleeping without it. The doctors have tried various things in the past but I never really found one that works.
I hope you get it sorted. I hope you get some good sleep and find something that works for you.
Clive
