> Can I ask why you want to get off the Seroquel? I too was put on Seroquel for insomnia in the past. It knocked me out like nothing else I had ever tried before, inc. Valium, Ambien, Xanax, Serax, Trazodone, muscle relaxants, etc...

Well, I want to get off of the Seroquel because it's TOO sedating - even at lower dosages. I'm late to work more often than not because of the heavy Seroquel hangover - EVEN if I take it 8-10 hours before I have to get up. It's a love/hate relationship because it knocks me out wonderfully (if one can be knocked out wonderfully?) but its hangover is too much.
PLUS it has caused A LOT of weight gain.
