I take 50mg of Seroquel at night for sleep. It's really not that effective as an AD. It is used as an antipsychotic for schitzophrenia, but at MUCH higher doses. I have wonderful sleep on 100mg, but have been experiencing weight gain and suspect the Seroquel, so back down to 50mg.
It also helps me with mood-swings...
