For Insomnia: My doctor started me out at quetiapine 100 mg for sleep deprivation due to a frozen shoulder. Turns out opioids have fallen out of favor even if you have a history of taking them as prescribed. After an acclimation period which was tough it mellowed out and did the job. I ended up at 200 mg. Folks, with this drug lower dosages are going to have a very massive sedation effect. My advice is to really talk to your MD about that. As you raise the dosage the sedative effect weakens. I rate it high although the first few days I felt really funky lol! For Insomnia: This is the only med that actually helps me sleep. I had tried melatonin, zopiclone, lorazepam and temazepam, as well as every natural remedy I could get my hands on and then my doctor suggested quetiapine. I take 25mg about an hour before going to sleep and usually by the time I climb into bed I can hardly keep my eyes open. I'm also taking bupropion (which is technically contraindicated with quetiapine) which may be why I feel so sedated on such a low dose. The only downside is that I don't fully wake up from it until I've been physically awake for at least an hour and it makes me really thirsty. But that's a small price to pay for getting a good sleep after struggling for years. Also it makes orgasms less intense for me which sucks! |

For Insomnia: I take Nytol on nights I really can't get to sleep. My experience is that they don't work very fast, but when they do I sleep pretty soundly. Unfortunately, the result in the morning is that I feel like I have a hangover, and I often sleep through my alarms.
