If insomnia is a problem, perhaps Ambien or Lunesta would be beneficial. Then you could discontinue the Seroquel which is more likely to cause next day sedation and other side effects.
The study using inositol had people taking 18g, which is a lot considering most supplements I've seen come in 500mg capsules.
