Seroquel XR for insomnia. Is this a common practice? Also is it safe to take in conjunction with?

usually seroquel is a last resort medication when used for sleep. however it causes massive weight gain. it is highly effective though. my last resort med for sleep has been clonidine and it has worked great with 1mg xanax and 400mg trazodone. just some thoughts

Hello tllawrence. Yes it will, help you to sleep but I'd not take the XR, just the regular Seroquel, it will be a direct dose and feel the effects much sooner whereas the XR will be released over the life of the pill/capsule and your body will absorb it more slowly and evenly. I'd not mix the trio you mentioned. The heavy sedation would/might be a problem. Best of wishes, pledge
