I took it and slept like someone had knocked me in the head with a hammer. (I mean knocked me right out.) I went off of it, and frankly, I, too, don't remember how long it took me to sleep without taking it. I have done Ambien and that helped for awhile, and now I am taking Trazadone. I am sleeping well.

Have you talked to your doc about this issue? I really don't like Seroquel, even though it's great for sleep, because it's in the "anti-psychotic" category and has all the potential side effects they can have, such as tardive dyskinesia.

I have been learning other tactics--such as doing relaxing things at least an hour before bedtime--which might include taking a warm bath, reading something that's not too exciting, and in fact, avoiding getting too wound up about anything, including things on the Internet. Also, my T recommended some relaxation tapes. Only using bed for sleep (or sex), too. Drinking a cup of warm milk and so on.

Hope you have some good sleep soon!
