I've never heard of Seroquel. Could you let me (us) know if you have success with it?
I usually wake up several times during the night. I've been taking a benedryl everynight for a long time. (My doctor knows). I may not stay asleep, but it helps me get right back to sleep when I do wake up.
I look forward to hearing if you have success!

I am wondering why your doctor would prescribe Seroquel for sleeping. It is not indicated for use as a sleeping aid. It is an anti-psychotic used to treat bi-polar disorder and/or schizophrenia. My mother takes it as she has hallucinations which interferes with her sleep. If you are prone to anxiety and that it why you can't sleep, perhaps you should ask your doctor about a true sleeping aid such as rozerem, ambien, lunesta, etc. Just a suggestion.
Hi Flyer how are you?
I thought the same thing when my doctor gave it to me years back. I called him back to make sure he prescribed the right thing. You are right it is an antipsychiotic but it is a terrific short term sleep aid. Ambien and the other pills would not even touch my insomnia but this worked well.

Hi Steven... I'm doing fairly well, hope to be better once this long winter season is over. I hope you are doing well. Thanks for the info. I only knew Seroquel as it was given for its intended use. However,seeing the responses I guess it has off-label uses as well. And that is super. I'm happy it works for many - good to know!Originally posted by StevenFarrisOhio:
