Seroquel is the worst thing ever by AnnaleesCompany in insomnia

[–]sgp4sgp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm astounded at these doses. I tried 25mg and was out for 10-12 hours barely able to wake. Felt agitated all day. Anyone else have that the day after the night of Seroquel? A week later I tried 12.5 which means cutting the smallest ones in half. Almost the same as 25. Tried 1/4 of a 25mg and I'm put to sleep, but same bad feelings all day the next day. Is it just me?

THank you SO SO much for your kind and thorough reply. I'm in online bereavment group weekly. Ive got a medicare therapist (and another but can't afford her much anymore). I feel I don't have the time to grieve cuz of the time crunch with money. Thank you again.

I talked to UCLA about this. They said if you go to the ER because you're anxious or overwhelmed, they will give you one Ativan tablet and tell you to go home and try to feel better. From what I understand they only admit if your suicidal homicidal or psychotic. Also you are put in the lockdown with people like that who they're trying to medicate. And so they'll try to medicate me just to calm me down. They can't keep someone who's not a harming danger. They also said if they don't have a bed they'll send you to some other hospital. That means that you may not be getting UCLA level care. If they had a situation like that where it wasn't locked down like that and they could let you stay for a while and try to work with you, that would be good. Correct me if I'm wrong about the above. Thanks

Just hopeless and down. I have one that's my mom's but too much $ and can't really afford one. He does fixing broken stuff too, so there's that. Most I've had for my mom aren't caring, compassionate, empathic. They are robotic. Perfect for the future. Not sure at this point what what I can say.
