I have had terrible insomnia for years and in the past few months it's gotten so bad that I'm barely sleeping at all. My hippy dippy psychiatrist who has had me try every alternative medicine treatment in the book finally agreed that I needed a sleeping medication and prescribed me 25 mgs of Seroquel each night. It definitely knocks me out and I DO sleep, but I have horrible nightmares. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this just something I'm going to have to get used to or does it get better with time? I'm going to be starting with a new psychiatrist soon because the guy I go to now is out-of-network and not really helping me anyway, but I don't even know what to ask for in terms of sleep with a new psychiatrist. Any recommendations? I took Ambien years ago and it didn't put me to sleep at all. I would actually stay up and writing grad school papers on it and even went driving once without even realizing it--I woke up with a receipt from 7-Eleven covered in Doritos on my couch totally freaked out that I'd gone driving when I was clearly drugged out of my mind.
