I was started on Seroquel to augment antidepressants and mood stabilizer, but I do not think I need it for this anymore but at about 400mg, it works great for sleep. Problem is I hate to be on a antipsychotic. I take remeron at night, 30mg, but it really does not put me to sleep the way seroquel does. Is it dangerous to keep using it or is there anything else out there that I could suggest to my psych doc? Thanks

In reply to Seroquel for sleep-anything else?, posted by Mandy on February 16, 2005, at 13:54:15
Wow! That's a lot just for sleep. I know of nothing that is stronger. May I ask what your dx is? How did you get on such a high dose for sleep. Did you try other meds? Fondly, Phillipa

I think 400 mg is a high dose if the only thing you want is a good quality of sleep.
Have you tried an smaller dose ?25mg is enough for many people, including me
