Who told you to take Seroquel as a sleeping aid? I take it for mental illness reasons. Sure it knocks you out, but holy shit. I gave one to my partner who was having trouble sleeping one night, she woke me up to get me to ”make the clown go away”.
Definitely not to be used as a sleep aid.
I've had two psychiatrists prescribe it as a sleep aid. I'm bi-polar. It had no effect when I was in my mid-20s. Many years later, it now knocks me out hard enough that I have a second script (halcyon generic) for when I need to drive in the morning because the seroquel leaves me hazy.
I used to need halcyon to sleep, and a lot more of it. Bi-polar, as I understand it, becomes less-intense post 30s. I also take an antidepressant. I was off that for a few years before 2020 went to fucking shit and I'm still better off having it again.
I don't know about seroquel specifically but low doses of multiple psiatric drugs do get used for sleep aids
Same, I took seroquel cuz it happened to be prescribed to another family member, awesome sleep but fucked up all the natural dopamine and serotonin. Plus acid and mdma didn't work anymore
