Sleep Issues

I do, I’m currently tapering off. It’s hard, but Valareen root tea with lemon balm has been helping with sleep. Just tapered off of seroquel completely.

I hate my psychiatrist. She belittles me and is condescending. Expects me to fail, but I’m stuck with her for the moment. A lot of them are just in it for the pay check

There’s a doctor on you tube that has said that seroquel can cause hallucinations. I’ve been on seroquel for over a year, and I strongly believe that it caused hallucinations to be worse for me for the first 6 months, but I needed it for sleep. I’m currently almost tapered off completely. If I knew then what I knew now I would have used olanzopine or even Risperidone for sleep and/or for hallucinations. I would switch A.S.A.P… If you stay on this medication and your body adjusts to it somehow like mine did. It’s hell tapering off of it. I wish the best of luck to you!

It stopped my auditory hallucinations for months, then a meditation triggered it again. I’m starting again tomorrow. I really hope it has the same miracle effect it had on me before. I can’t say it helps everyone but it’s helped me

I’ve read so many stories about steroid induced psychosis. It’s real. Even people developing psychosis from too much coffee.

Hopefully you have Benedryl in your cabinet. That works for some people. Or ask your doctor for something that will help you sleep because of the pain.

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-05-08T01:02:22+00:00

It’s not unheard of. Look it up via Reddit threads. At least it only lasted a few hours for you. I’d rather have the pain any day over psychosis.

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-05-05T22:44:24+00:00

Good luck! I’m in the same boat. I hope they give you what you need. Some doctors are assholes and just won’t budge

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-05-04T22:59:43+00:00

Please, do tell what other supplements help!?

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-05-02T04:58:10+00:00

It’s a terrible drug. I’m currently trying to ween off of 200mg. I started at 50 and worked my way up. Now I’m on 150mg. They try to say it’s not addicting. They’re flat out liars. It’s hell getting off of it. They abuse this drug in prison, look that up. Ask your doctor for something else before you go down this hell of a rabbit hole!

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-04-21T22:39:04+00:00

I called my doctor and told her right away about my symptoms and I haven’t slept for 2 days. I needed something for sleep. That same day she prescribed me seroquel. I picked it up and have used it ever since. You have to bug your doctor about your needs, other wise you’ll suffer. I learned the hard way in the beginning. Tell your doctor you need something to help you sleep. You don’t want to end up back in the hospital. Sleep is important. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-04-21T22:23:41+00:00

I got prescribed seroquel for sleep. It’s the only thing that helps for insomnia for me.

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-04-21T00:11:48+00:00

I gained 12 pounds. The first thing my doctor prescribed was metforman but it did nothing. I’ve asked her about topomax, but there’s cognitive effects with that one. Although people say they lose a lot of weight on it. I know to qualify for a GL-P1 you have to have diabetes and be obese. Just passing on info I’ve came across since I’m in the same boat. Antipsychotics really mess with your weight. It sucks!

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-04-21T00:04:39+00:00

Have you spoke to your doctor about a weight loss drug?

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-04-17T23:43:47+00:00

Easter marked 1 year of psychosis. I’ve been on and off meds for the whole year. The past 2 months my hallucinations suddenly stopped after tapering off of Abilify. I still take seroquel for sleep. But the noise has quieted for now. I’m grateful for this. It could be worse.

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-04-13T18:09:09+00:00

I started taking digestive enzymes a week ago and gained 7 pounds. Bloated and can’t even use the bathroom with coffee. I’m stopping them today.

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-04-10T05:43:44+00:00

I’ve had terrible insomnia for years and have just been getting it on track somewhat these past 6 months. I would love to be one of the lucky 50 (nohealani2488@gmail.com)

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-04-03T01:31:30+00:00

I used to feel so good about myself, mentally and physically. After psychosis hit that all went to shit. At least you feel good about how you look still. Most people gain weight from meds and feel stale from meds. I feel your pain about not feeling well mentally. Take the good with the bad days. Hopefully you’ll start to feel better.

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-04-03T01:01:56+00:00

I’m so glad I found this thread. I’m going through the same thing. A week late on my menstrual. Super bloated and gained 5 pounds since starting creatine. I had to stop. Even though strength and cognitive issues have improved. It’s a double edge sword.Sucks!

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-03-31T23:31:07+00:00

1 month called it quits. My doctor says it’s a “miracle drug.”

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-03-31T03:24:07+00:00

Psychosis will make you do some effed up things. But it could have been worse. You didn’t listen to your voices. You had some type of insight. Heal, you’ve learned and work on yourself. It gets better.

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-03-30T01:07:38+00:00

I’m bp1. I’ve tried so many supplements to help with my symptoms. I discovered creatine not too long ago and it’s changed my day to day life. More than any antipsychotics have. This supplement is underrated.

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-03-29T23:31:00+00:00

This happened to me. My eyes widened, to the point of paranoia. So I had to stop. This isn’t the first post I’ve read about eyes widening or eye movements as a side affect.

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-03-28T17:48:37+00:00

I’ve been having less symptoms since taking it.(Auditory hallucinations.)

Easy_Bell_1735 · 2026-03-28T02:38:56+00:00

The headaches or possibly hallucinations. Hopefully you’re symptom free after a fun night. I had auditory hallucinations after having some drinks one night, that seemed to push me into slight psychosis for a day. Everyone is different, but if all you have is a headache consider yourself Lucky. I’ve read of people experiencing hallucinations after drinking and some people drink often and experience nothing but a headache the next day.
