I also take Seroquel it has slowed my brain down but I still have nites i just cant sleep ... what do I do ? toss turn and know that the next few days im going to be very annoyed by everything..

Currently these are the meds my doctor has me on ..

Seroquel 300mg at nite
xanax 1mg twice a day
Lamictal 150 mg at nite
Halcion .5mg at nite ..

My pharmacy had to pulll me aside and warn me of taking all these " sedating" medications .. My Pdoc understands I have HUGE issues sleeping and Im 44 yeas old and have dealth with a racing mind and insomnia since I was a teenager . Just recently dianosed with BiPolar I so im wading thru alot of nonsense and trying new meds etc ..

I hope you can find something that helps you on a consistance basis... I have found if my sleep is disrupted I can go right into a tailspin and becomes really unstable after only a couple nites

Wishing you Love and Peace
Thanks a lot for that. I am on Seroquel 200mg, Lamictal 200mg and Klonopin. All that to try to help me sleep. Last night I think I slept about 2 hours so I am not going to work today because I am going to try to sleep during the day.
