Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I had insomnia FOREVER and am now convinced it exacerbated my pain. My PCP started me on Seroquel in June and I have never had better sleep in my life. QUALITY sleep. RESTORATIVE sleep. I am taking 100 mg. I tried to cut back to 50 but it doesn't help. I also used melatonin in the past. I THOUGHT it worked well until I started Seroquel...... Love it. *~ Kami ~* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 If it helps at all, the docs I've worked with over the years use it in low dose for sleep. It's also used a lot whyen people return from the war and need something to help them get deep, restorative sleep, w/o flashbacks.
