Even though Seroquel technically isnt a sleeping pill there are many people who are prescribed it to help with their mood and their sleep. It is a royal pain to get off and must be done very very slowly. I used to take 200mg at night and have managed to get it down to 100mg at night over a period of six months. Like yourself if I don't take it I don't sleep. I am also on 1mg of Klonolpin at night and 0.5 of klonolpin in the morning.

To stop taking it entirely is cruel and no wonder you aren't sleeping. Even dropping 100mg is too quick. Maybe try dropping 25 mg and see how that goes for a time. When you are stable on that then drop it another 25mg. Lack of sleep will do horrid things to our equilibrium.

Hope that you can find the right combination of medications and doctors to help sort things out.
