Like Christina almost all other options have been tried. 200mgs of Seroquel doesn't even cause me to nap.

Glad it helped with your sleep, that is so important for the wellbeing and our health.

I am pretty sedated atm, and will fall asleep within short time. (I’m on 400mg Seroquel, works fine for me)
Feeling the eyelids getting heavier and every thought vanishing in a blissful moment of inner peace- I just love it. All I can think is how wonderful it is getting enough sleep every night.
Waking up rested and ready to start a new day, oh my, what a joy

Wish you all the best, and hope you get some wonderful nights of peaceful sleep
Thanks for this!

[one 5mg Ambien is $5 on the street, used my tweaker to get off the high, and sleep, they take 15-25 mg which is way too much]
Many tranquilizer type drugs can be habit-forming and Thorazine is not.

I took it for psychosis. Not a drug I need now. But it helped with sleep.
