Following a visit from the C.T. I was perscribed seroquel at 50mg (to be increased this week) which i have been taking for the last 2.5 weeks. It was perscribed to balance my moods (mainly stop impulsive thinking or help reduce it anyway) and to help me sleep.
During the first week I slept really well. managing more hours than normal however this seemed to change on Thursday night last week, I didnt get to sleep until nearly 6.00 am on Friday morning. Saturday wasn't so bad, but last night I only managed 4 hours sleep and tonight only 1.5.
I wake up feeling exhausted, really tired to the point my eyes are stinging but even so still can't sleep. I have kept to a sleeping routine, tried a bath before bed, warm drink, lavender pillow sprays etc as well as taking the seroquel.
Has anyone else has similar sleep issues with seroquel?
