In reply to antipsychotic advice needed! (urgent!!), posted by turalizz on June 10, 2002, at 6:50:44
I like a really low dose of Seroquel to help me sleep when needed. It has a little more punch than a benzo, but if the dose is low enough I'm not a zombie the next day. As the others note, talk to your pdoc, who will be able to advise you on what's the best option given your other meds.

Even though the last time, I took 5 mg selegiline on Friday, its effect is still here (not surprising with an irreversible MAOI), and I don't want to (can't) stop moclobemide. As the insomnia I am experiencing is supposedly because of excess dopamine, it makes sense to try an antipsychotic instead of trazodone or a benzodiazepine.
