Hi all,
Having being feeling scared lately so always offline.

Dealing with cold and stomach issues lately.

My anxiety is off limits.

Also I am in transition from seroquel to Zolpidem so always awake.

It's tough leaving seroquel .

Any suggestions how should I deal.

Hi Cilly,

I am sorry you are struggling with all of the above.sad It's a lot...being ill, switching meds...lack of sleep. These all combine to make management difficult!

Use your positive mantras and keep reminding yourself that this is temporary, and you will get through this challenge.

Post with us as needed so we can gather around you with support.smile

Cilly, even if you feel you cant sleep, lay down and rest, read a book, anything, being off your feet and
having the body rest is as important as sleep, tho not as much fun, you are getting better, Peace

Hi cill. I understand you're switching meds coz seroquel leaves you sleepy all day. I can relate to that. I'm on 25 mg Seroquel for insomnia as well. Seroquel is an excellent med for insomnia. It doesn't cause dependence. It's effective in treating even the most severe cases of insomnia. There is a way you could keep taking seroquel. I' know a lot of people (mostly bipolar) take stimulants ( the ones for adhd) like ritalin, or Cocerta to offset the lethargy and sluggishness caused by antipshychotics. They also help with depressive symptoms as well. Maybe this could be something that could look into. Hope you feel better soon. smile

Hi Cilly

You shouldn't have to many problems stopping the Seroquel as it's usually an easy one to discontinue. I hope the Zolpidem works well for you and that you get some good sleep.

Keep us posted.
