Hi, @num1boxer1919 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I can imagine you would be very uncomfortable with the heart racing from the quetiapine (Seroquel), and it's understandable you are looking for an alternative.

I'd invite @flpatt @anniegk @yangedd @highserotonin30 @mxyzptlk @tness360 to return and speak to their experiences with quetiapine (Seroquel) and any heart racing they may have encountered, and share any thoughts they may have on alternatives for antipsychotics or insomnia.
I'd also suggest looking at this thread on insomnia in our Sleep Health group, which may have lots of ideas for you and would be a great place to interact with others who are trying to get better sleep https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/josephene-i-am-having-terrible-insomnia-as-well-nothing-seems-to-help.
Have you had the chance to ask the prescribing doctor for the quetiapine (Seroquel) for an alternative, or some means to deal with the heart-racing side effect, @num1boxer1919? Are you getting much sleep right now?
Thanks so much for the reply really appreciate it.. & I will definitely look at that thread... & to answer your question yes i have asked my doctor she considered Zyprexa but I looked at the side effects & it said it can cause racing heart beat as well so I was a little cautious on taking it.. She didn't mention anything else tho.. & No not really sleeping well at all.. Just a lot of awakings through the night & times where I can't go back to sleep, leaves me pretty sick the next day not very fun lol.. The first year I was on it, it worked very well but this past year has been pretty rough.. I don't know if it's just lost its effectiveness or what.. Never had sleeping problems at all before starting on anxiety meds just doesn't make much sense.. If any possible ideas come to mind I would greatly appreciate it..
