Pdoc just prescribed Gabitril for my insomnia. Has anyone else ever taken it for this purpose?

Was also just put on Seroquel. How long does it take to get used to it, I was dragging this morning.

NJBlues, it took a couple months to get over the fatigue from the seroquel. The important part is to take the lowest dose possible. I still have a tough time getting out of bed but it's not impossible now. The seroquel is so important for my mental health that I just work thru the tiredness....D

I think I'm going to have to go back down to 25 mg, which I took the first night, even though I didn't get a full nights sleep, because the 50 mg I took last night is still making me feel hungover and it's afternoon. Then again, I'm very sensitive to meds.
