I couldn't sleep after the Zyprexa was lowered to 5mg, so I reached out to my pdoc and she has prescribed 50 mg of Seroquel just for sleep. So I'll have tapered off the Zyprexa after tonight, but will be adding seroquel. I hate, despise, and loathe seroquel, it's hangover and etc. But I just have to sleep. I think I'm going to start by cutting the pill in half and seeing if 25 mg will be enough. Let's hope it will be.

In my experience 25 mg is plenty enough to induce sleep. I've even done fairly well on 12.5 mg. I hate Seroquel, too. Why take 50 if you can get by on 25? Also, with 25 if you absolutely need to, you can increase it to 50mg if the 25 stops working.
