I could have written your post. Seriously; it gave me a chill...my life for the past 5 weeks.


I was also on Seroquel for sleep, for about 5 years. I weaned off of it 2 months ago. Since then my sleep is insane. The most I've been able to sleep in one stretch is 2 - 3 hours. By this past week-end I was a wreck. A complete mess. I finally gave in and have been taking 12.5mg Seroquel the past 2 nights. Finally, I have slept fairly normally. What a blessed relief!

Frankly, I think that Seroquel has a deleterious long-term effect upon sleep, possible especially for those with bipolar disorder who already have wacky sleep tendencies.
