Seroquel

Holy molely! After talking to a friend of mine at work last night, (she scared the pee-water out of me!) I did some research on the drug my Dr. has changed me to for sleep. Seroquel is a heavy hitter when it comes to drugs. It's used primarily for bipolar disorders, but wikipedia did say that it was prescribed off market for sleep disorders too, with all sorts of other uses that I have symptoms of. The only thing I don't like about it is that it gives you a morning pill hangover. I'm on 25mg. now and I'm suppose to gradually increase the dose up to 100mg. over the next month. At that dose I'll be in the prone position on the floor unable to move!
Welcome to the land of the Zombie! Gee, all I wanted was to be able to sleep.
