In reply to Why is Seroquel so popular as a sleep aid?, posted by clipper40 on December 7, 2007, at 5:59:33
> I don't understand. Why use Seroquel, with all of the risks of a neuroleptic, when there are plenty of other sleep aids out there?
Because it works.
I cannot tolerate Ambien, Lunesta, or Rozerem. Trazodone leaves me a zombie the next day. Melatonin made me more depressed. Benzos aren't always enough to keep me asleep through the night. A low dose of Seroquel (6.25-12 mg) produces a natural feeling drowsiness, I stay asleep, and I'm not horribly hung over the next day.
