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.
Seroquel
Well I take 100mg of seroquel per night and it just puts me to sleep so not that unsafe
I have sleep apnea and I am taking seraquil. Does this cause me to have shallow breathing?
i have been on seroquel for years and the only side effect is it doesnt help me sleep anymore at 800mg
I have taken Seroquel with Ambien many times. They work well together for those nights I just can't get to sleep.
excessive sleep and nightmares
No, it won't help you sleep.
I use seraqual for paranoia but it helps me sleep as well.
depression and sleep disorders
I've been lifting weights since taking seroquel, it has caused no problems. Since seroquel makes you sleepy its good for helping you sleep after a big workout leaving you feeling refreshed the next day.
well if it helps my phdoc has me on 40 ml celexa and 50ml of seroquel. seems to be a good combination for me i feel okay through the day and sleep well at night. i take celexa in the morning and seroquel at bedtime.
