I really like sleep and I have been on Ambien and Seroquel(off label) for sleep. At first it helped but if you really really like sleep I say the withdrawal is not worth the benefit of the extra sleep. Coming off them I didn't sleep for several days and my sleep schedule became really screwed up. I am still on something for sleep for this reason. Some studies show you go insane after 3-4 days of no sleep. I can confirm it definitely feels like that. If you plan to take it for life I guess but withdrawals can be miserable.
- GW150914 8y agoSeroquel off label... for sleep?! Seroquel is a pretty hefty neuroleptic, with all of many adverse effects implied. Does your doctor discuss the possible long term impact of its use?
- limeblack 8y agoNo the doctor didn't give the long term consequences. I am not encouraging this. This is way more common then people think[1]. [1] https://nationalpost.com/health/seroquel-for-insomnia https://nationalpost.com/health/seroquel-for-insomnia
- GW150914 8y agoWhoa... thanks for the article. I’m shocked, but I guess shouldn’t be surprised.
- ClassyJacket 8y agoSeroquel is horrible. Half of one tablet made me feel so drained I could barely function thru half of the following day.
