jecsb4 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Family Dr prescribed this to help me sleep. You take it 2 hrs before you plan on sleeping. You must take it every night. The drug is an anti-psychoic used for people with thoes issues. The sleep benifit is a side effect. Anyone have experience with this med?

Joe The wife has been on seroquel for quite some time now and it not only aids in the anti-psychotic stuff, but it also helps her sleep at night. She takes 25 mgx4/day and 2x200mg at night to help her sleep. Her's is a fairly high dose though given her PTSD and pention for psychosis. Also, she is VERY sensitive to side effects and highly allergic to several medications and she has done fine with seroquel for about 2 years now. Everyone is different, but I would say it is fairly safe given the wife's history with meds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sargentdisaster Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I had problems with the medication. I could not finish sentences, and short memory problems with the pill. It was changed to another med, problem stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted June 10, 2007 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 10, 2007 Rozeram is supposed to not be addictive. Ambien and all the rest are habit forming and when you stop taking it you may get rebound insomnia. That is horrible and I have had it before. I went for days without sleep. All the things like valium are the worst, and yet they give them for sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
