So I'm gonna ask if you guys have any advice on how to get to bed at a reasonable time and maybe if taking more seroquel will work he said I could go to 200 tonight.
More of a dissappointed rant than anything but if you guys have any advice on getting to sleep that would be great.

interesting how different dosages of the same med affect us. i'm female, 66 yrs. old. only this past year after being diagnosed/treated for 30+ yrs. have the repetitive thoughts interrupted any possibility of sleep...and insomnia just kills me. i get into bed an hr. before bedtime and keep the same bedtime always. started taking 5mg. melatonin which makes me a bit groggy about an hr. before bedtime. i think this helps me. 10 mg. ambien lasts about 4 hrs. per my p/doc i cut a .25mg. seroquel in half and take that and i sleep w/o the ruminating thoughts. am now trying 5 mg. valium which works wonders for me...so 1 nite i use valium, next nite 1/2 seroquel. a lot of this is trial and error but i think for me this is the combination which works..finally getting good sleep.
