What would be a good dosage to use vistril as a sedative?

Ask for your doctor and find out if you can have a sleep study. I think this just might be the problem of why you do not get good sleep. It gives you insight into your sleep habits.

200 mg is a very high dosage and no amount of vistaril will be able to give you the same sedative effect. I doubt even a sleeping pill such as Ambien will do the trick. There is a muscle relaxant that has great side effect of acting like a sleeping pill. It'ls generic name is tizandine and you can take up to 8 mg per night. I believe that this will only help after you have been successfully titrated off of seroquel after a few months.
Are you taking the seroquel for something other than sleeping? Some paranoid thinking perhaps? If this is the case then you need to speak with your psychiatrist about what you will use to replace that for mood changes and/or deppressive symptoms. I have never heard of seroquel being given at such an enormous dosage just for sleeping. If you don't feel you are getting the proper care you deserve, you shoud find a Doctor with whom you can be completely honest with, and tell them what exactly is going on with you. good luck.

does it actually help you sleep?vistiril is in the same family as benadrll..its not very effective for me but if it works for you just ask him if you can go up being your size i would ask to go to 100 and if that doesnt work can u go to 150..i really dont think that is the right medicine for u but im not a doctor you might as well have gone and bought you a bottle of benadrll
