I wish seroquel had worked for me. It made me feel sluggish and dizzy the next day, plus I never got enough sleep. That was the first one they prescribed. I even added doxipine with it but it didn’t work. Trazadone was the next one and it worked at first but then I had to keep increasing the dosage until it just stopped working. Lunesta was the last one and it only kept me asleep 3 or 4 hours. I can get that without any meds... so I’m just trying to get by until I hope one day my sleep returns...
