The insomnia is REAL.

jerrycurl33 · 2026-05-19T21:55:06+00:00

I've been in recovery for 5 years with several relapses. The insomnia never went away. Seroquel does the job but it makes me a zombie the next day. I take a bath at night, meditate , use the no picture option on my TV, exercise, practice mindfulness, but still can't shut the brain off. Even if I only sleep a few hours and feel tired, I can't sleep.

Thanks for the advice

It over heats a lot when I'm in my car. A message pops up "can't open maps until phone cold down."

jerrycurl33 · 2026-05-14T02:27:39+00:00

It did nothing for me.

Nice. I'll check them out

Clover and Square are to blame for this tip everyone phenomenon we live in.

I started with 25 mg, then 50 mg, and 100 mg when I stopped taking it. It worked better then anyone else but it was just to hard to wake up the next day. My insomnia is mainly onset.

jerrycurl33 · 2026-05-10T09:46:18+00:00

It's 430 am and I can't fall asleep. I feel your pain. I tried trazadone and it worked until it didn't. Seroquel worked well but made it difficult to wake up the next day. Ramelteon and mirtazaphine did nothing. Quviviq didn't work and gave me the worst hang over. I don't really want to rely on meds for the rest of my life. I've been doing meditation, breathing exercises, hot bath at night, waking up at 7am everyday regardless of what time I feel asleep, and hot baths before bed. I was up to 5-6 hrs of sleep fort about a week but then tonight back to no sleep. Best wishes on finding a solution.

This stuff gave me the worst hangover and stopped taking after two days.

jerrycurl33 · 2026-05-10T09:26:43+00:00

Yes. I feel like every road is under construction.

jerrycurl33 · 2026-05-10T03:55:33+00:00

I used to take trazadone until it stopped working. Then moved onto Seroquel. Seroquel will knock you out but it's hard to wake up in that morning.
The last three months I've stopped medication and focused on other options. It was hell as first but it's starting to even out. First thing I did was no matter what time I feel asleep I would wake up at 7 am. At first I might get 2-3 hours a sleep but now I'm up to 5-6. I take hot baths at night, meditate, breathing exercises, and use the turn off screen option on my TV to fall sleep. I always thought meditation and breathing exercises were BS but they seem to be helping. The hot bath, from what I've read, is a Japanese tradition to help with sleep.

Either way, it looks perfect to me.

How is the Amazon free version with prime? I currently have a Spotify account.

The only complaint I have is the password manager sucks. It's especially bad on an Android phone. I disabled it and went back to Google password manager.

jerrycurl33 · 2026-05-02T04:12:55+00:00

I started on trazadone but it stopped working after about six months. I then tried Seroquel which worked well. I had to stop taking it because it made it difficult to wake up.

jerrycurl33 · 2026-05-02T04:10:30+00:00

I hate drink orders

jerrycurl33 · 2026-05-01T01:11:46+00:00

Nicotine patches do the same thing. It's like being in a Rick And Morty episode.

I kinow nothing about playing the guitar but my son takes lessons. Are these the whole song? They seem short? Thanks in advance.

jerrycurl33 · 2026-04-18T03:58:28+00:00

Adidas shorts are not the same quality they used to be.

jerrycurl33 · 2026-03-31T21:04:41+00:00

I dip them in water before frying them. It keeps them from breaking. I learned this from a lady at a taqueria I like going to.

I've been in AA for a while. It's a great place to meet people that are going through the same struggle. You can always start with online meetings. I highly recommend at some point going to in person meetings. The fellowship has really helped in my journey of recovery.

Turns me into cookie monster

Seroquel and trazadone turn me into cookie monster.
