> L-theanine must have worked well. Gave me seroquel once and almost fainted it let me think but could not form words so could not speak so wierd this was in a hospital and the doc discontinued it that day. And that's when started taking valium again after years of the other benzos add some chloral hydrate in the mix at the time. Phillipa
Fainting or the feeling of going to can cause from Seroquel's orthostatic hypotension properties which are similar among some other atypicals -- you have to carefully stand up because of low blood pressure. This primarily occurs at night when it is taken, and other agents do this too -- Trazodone especially, at least in my case.
Stacking CNS depressants isn't the best solution -- I mean I do have that as a result of polypharmacy, but my doctor is careful of that.Chloral hydrate is basically almost alcohol, and combined with alcohol is really bad. Combined sleep agents are not the best idea if possible, at least prescription ones -- but even nonprescription ones because of increased chance of CNS and respiratory depression. I do take 5HTP and l-tryptophan but I have let my doctor know.
