I have had poor quality sleep for the past 2 odd years. Im sure those here are MORE than familiar with tdisruption in sleep. In July i tried low dose seroquel. In one day, my sleep cycle was 100% normalized, and I was 100% satisfied with my sleep...I was accomplishing much more each day and feeling so refreshed.
I havnt been on sleeping pills for more than 2 months now. My sleep is very bad..I barely feel tired enough until past 3 am and wake up a lot. So, Im thinking to myself now, why NOT be on seroquel forever? I mean thats what we are all after right? To not suffer anymore? IF someone gave you a pill that completely took away one particular symptom , is it even a downfall that you have to be "reliant" on it forever" Now I know we are obviously reliant on mood meds, but i guess its just hard for me to give in to one more aspect of my life controlled by pills (ie mood, not sleep?)... but if it ends the suffering, why not!
That also leads me to question is seroquel in low doses for years on end safe? And can people build tolerance to it?
Would love to hear peoples experiences with it (for sleep purposes only).
I am have depression with anxiety by the way.
