Note, this is a temporary fix until my appt with a sleep neurologist/sleep study. You can also try Ambien if all the other over the counter solutions do not work (as well as no tv/ipad/laptop in your room at bedtime, meditation, trying to read before bed, no alcohol, no caffeine, sleeptime tea, etc.) Hope this helps.
I've tried Seroquel but I felt like a zombie and couldn't function at all, even with a very small dose. So I need something else.
