I am so stubborn I need someone to tell me what to do! I take seroquel for sleep. If I do not take it, I will be awake for 3 days straight. I have not fallen alseep naturally in over a year now. Sleep has always been a struggle for me. I started out on 25mg of seroquel and now 425 mg is not enough. I've had to slowly increase the dosage. I am so stubborn, I often try taking less of it and lay there in bed for an hour and a half trying to fall asleep. Last night I tried to take only 100mg to try and wean myself off of it. I only slept 4 hours. I guess I have this aweful fear that I will be taking a sleeping aid for the rest of my life. My doctor and the pharmacy says it's better to get a good night's sleep rather than to not sleep with someone who has bipolar. However, even though this drug works great with my sleep and my mood, It still scares me to think I will be on sleep meds forever. Can anyone help! Provide me feedback. I know it's important to stick with what works but is what works a long term danger?
