My one general question is at the bottom...
Hello I am on Parnate 25mg (was 20mg) since few days ago. I also take 5mg Ritalin 3-4 times a day as well as Valium 10mg twice daily.
Insomnia on Parnate on 10mg, 20mg and other doses has been very SEVERE to the point of recieving only average 2.5 hours sleep a day.
Risperidone (Risperdal) 0.5mg and 1mg have helped somewhat initially but that effect seemed to have dropped off expecially when I rose my 20mg Parnate to 25mg and it is tremendously difficult to sleep now. Ugh, maybe I need to go back down to 20mg Parnate for the time being.
My doctor told me Seroquel is a good idea if Risperidone doesn't work and... here in Canada we dont have Ambien, Lunesta, and Zipricone doesn't work for me regardless of dose.
So What can I expect from Seroquel 25-50mg? I dont need it for any depression augmentation just sleep. Weight gain if it happens would be nice though. Will I be super sleepy during the day or will it only effect me for a 8-10 hour sleep period? PLEASE offer any insight ASAP as I may have to cancel any plans made for the coming week.
