Will 100mg of seroquel put you to sleep?

Seroquel should ONLY be taken according to your prescription. A person on Seroquel needs to take their meds the way that they're supposed to, in the time frame that they are supposed to, to keep a steady level of the drug in the body. Seroquel is an anti-psychotic, and not a sleep aid. The important thing is, if you are on Seroquel, you need to take it properly. Don't just stop taking it; you need to be "weaned off". And if it is not your prescription, you should NOT take it. Anti-psychotic drugs taken by a person who doesn't need it can be dangerous, including having long-term permanent effects such as Tardive Diskinesia. Actually Seroquel IS prescribed by a lot of doctors as a sleep aid. It's an anti psychotic medication that can be used to help you sleep. I have a prescription for it as a sleep aid myself actually.


Is seroquel useful for sleep?

No, Seroquel is not a sleep aid. However, some people who take it report that it makes them sleep soundly.AnswerNo, it's not actually licensed to prescribe for a sleep aid. It is proven to be more sedating in low dose though. For most, not all it's 200mg and lower. -I was specifically prescribed seroquel for use as a sleeping aid. Whether or not the FDA labels it as such I am not certain. This is common practice amongst medical professionals.AnswerAlthough Seroquel® (quetiapine fumarate) is not FDA-approved for sleep disorders or anxiety, many physicians prescribe low doses of the drug, off-label, to treat those conditions. Clinical studies and empirical data indicate Seroquel® is an effective, non-addictive alternative to medications specifically formulated for insomnia.Seroquel® may be used longterm for chronic insomnia in some people.Be aware that it is perfectly legal and legitimate for a doctor to prescribe medication for use in disorders other than those indicated by the FDA.

What sleeping pill can a border collie take?

If a border collie needs a sleeping aid, it's crucial to consult a veterinarian first. While some medications like trazodone are commonly prescribed for anxiety and sleep issues in dogs, the dosage and suitability depend on the individual dog's health and circumstances. Never administer human sleeping pills, as they can be toxic to pets. Always prioritize professional veterinary advice for any medication.


Is Trazodone different from Seroquel for bipolar?

Yes. Trazodone® and Seroquel® are different classes of medications entirely, but both can be used at low doses as a sleep aid in people with bipolar disorder.Trazodone is an older, weak antidepressant with strong sedating side-effects, used almost exclusively as a sleep aid. It has no mood stabilizing properties.Seroquel is an antipsychotic medication that also has sedating side-effects, and is often used as a mood stabilizer, anti-anxiety agent, or sleep aid for people with bipolar disorder. Seroquel is also sometimes used to potentiate antidepressants. It is not necessary to be psychotic to benefit from this medication; in fact, many people who take Seroquel have never been psychotic.Trazodone is available as an inexpensive generic. Seroquel is available by brand name only, and can be expensive. The manufacturer's patent is set to expire sometime in 2012.


Can weight watchers help me lose weight while on seroquel?

Weight Watchers may be a good addition to helping you loose the weight put on from taking Seroquel, but it is unlikely to be as effective as it would be for people not taking the drug. Because Seroquel alters your metabolism, it prevents you from losing weight. Most people have had success loosing weight on Seroquel by taking other medications that aid in weight control/loss. Your best bet is to speak with your doctor.
