Everything I took other than herbal things left me feeling hung over the next day.....seroquel worked but only after I went through the trauma when the nightmares were so horrible. I needed something that totally knocked me out & seroquel fit that. I also weighed only 93 pounds at the time & was taking 600mg at night. I was non-functional anyway at that point in time so the non-functional that seroquel added was not even realized because of the mess my life was in at the time anyway.

After I started to live alone & had 7 dogs at first to take care of (down to 3 now), I needed to be on at all times of the day, couldn't afford to take anything that knocked me out & I still feel that way though when I get totally exhausted, nothing wakes me up when I finally crash without the help of any meds.....the rest of the time, I'm a mess waiting for exhaustion to hit.

No wonder why I'm dealing with high blood pressure. When I sleep normal, the blood pressure is normal...but when I don't sleep, it's high.
