Help. 25 to 50 mgs seroquel to help insomnia?

[[ro...]]

I can't sleep...I evev went to hospital last weekend and tried seryis, visteril, my valium....no sleep, I left 3 rd day...

Melatonin very minimal help.

My pcdr. Sent out a script for seroquel, the bi polar med...he said it may help. I was going to try it tonight.

How fast does it work?

I quess it is safe w valium..or he wouldn't have given it..

I'm lost buddies.

I know wds do this and my age,62... Less sleep quality, but I'm exhausted,.....this scares me..

Tried everything else....they have given me....

Remeron, trazadone, I'm lost.....

Any feedback appreciated

Antipsychotics at your age are extremely dangerous. Please abstain.

At doses of 25mg or less it's just a powerful antihistamine with no other properties. Only hits H1 receptors in low dose.  People say it gets very addictive at 50 to 75mg and higher!!  25mg is the max I'd ever take.  People say 12.5mg is even more sedating than 25mg due to selective receptor binding, less is more as it avoids Serotonin stimulation.

 

GOOD READ on how receptors fill up from 'THE TOP ON DOWN' so small doses are very different to big doses.

For me remeron at 7.5mg is more than enough to get me sleepy.  Also just hits H1 at low levels.

 

Sleep heals so get some any way you can.  Good luck
