Comparing Quetiapine

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: The key to taking this drug is finding the correct dose. From reading the comments it seems that a lot of folks are prescribed very large doses. Perhaps they need them, tolerance has built up.....I don't know but all I need to get me feeling super chill is 6.5mg. It is a very tranquil and pleasant, relaxing feeling. Any higher dosage than that and the next day I am a complete mess :-)
