I had gone through a trauma with the home care person when my mother was dying of cancer.......the stress caused me to feel so sick, I ended up in the hospital with anorexia on a central line & IV nutrition. It was right after that, the nightmares were so horrible that my pdoc put me on 600mg seroquel at night so I could sleep. I was definitely groggy the next morning & the whole next day....probably because my weight was so low. I stayed on that dose for over a year. When the year anniversary hit me with everything that had happened, I was still in bad shape & low weight.

I have been able to quit that med....left my husband & didn't feel safe being that out of it when I was dependent on myself to take care of everything.....not on any meds now other than the same pain meds I've been on since 2003.

Seroquel definitely didn't help me with my anorexia condition.....hmmmmm probably why my pdoc chose that med other than the fact that no other med would allow me to get any sleep without horrible nightmares.

I must say it was great at knocking me out & giving me a good night sleep since I didn't need to function the next day.
