I am also diagnosed and taking drugs for bipolar disorder and hypertension. At night, I take 400 mg Seroquel along with my hypertension meds, one of which slows my heart rate. I used to have a chronic problem with insomnia and this drug cocktail always puts me to sleep, with no need to increase the dosage to remain effective- a godsend.
This dosage of Seroquel is used to treat my bipolar symptoms and not specifically for insomnia, although it works well in this regard.
I've used Prozac and Paxil with little improvement. Now I'm taking Wellbutrin in the morning, and it seems to be helping.
Good luck to you-
Gracie
