Round White Pill R On One Side 2 Other Quetiapine (Top voted first)

Dear everyone. Yes this pill is commonly used for the treatment of bipolar disorder as well as other antipsychotic illness such as schizophernia and mood stabaizers....I have also used it for trying to get my psyche back on track...But other than one or two post I've seen nothing written about the positive affects it can do for sleep....I've suffered from insomnia for 11 of my 30 years....As well as 300 of trazadone...Yes when put together they work wonders....But without my seroquel and the trazadone alone I was up all night....Yes I admit over ten years I have become dependent on them...While I admit I think it has to do with more with knowing I dont have the pills but who knows? But one thing I will not miss out on is my sleep..So for a pill you can take and sleep the whole night through I recommed it highly...The two downfalls are weight gain bc I got the munchies right before bedtime and thats no bueno...The other is one can become groggy the morning afterwards, but for me that wore off after a week or two...So if you don't ambien or lunesta that can be habit forming or driving around or raiding the refridgerator with no knowledge of it then I would recommend it highly.

Hi Taitum, thanks for sharing your feedback. Unfortunately you don't see too many posts from people who have a positive experience with meds, since it doesn't really give them that dire reason to critique its effects like you'd normally sense when something doesn't work the way its intended to. But from what I've seen online, tiredness, dizziness, or sleepiness are actually listed as general side effects of Quetiapine... so I do wonder if what you're experiencing is a side effect or perhaps an off-label use of the drug. Since so many other people are also prescribed it for insomnia as well, either case seems like it could be viable.

However, you may also want to check out this article pertaining to the safety of using Quetiapine for insomnia (at low doses). Apparently it can raise some concerns due to potentially life threatening side effects such as fatal hepatotoxicity:

I hope this helps!
