So unfortunately I cannot take it. But it did help.

That's good to know, thanks for your reply. My rx for seroquel has been sitting at the drug store for a week while I decide if I'm going to take it.
My dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and they prescribed seroquel because he wasn't sleeping. He died soon after he started taking it. The warnings say "can cause death in elderly with dementia" so why they gave it to him I don't know but I'm convinced that's what killed him. Because I'm paranoid that has me worried about taking it. Not that I'm elderly and have dementia, but still.
