You are to be congratulated for making such positive lifestyle changes. Titrating off unnecessary meds, exercise and veganism are not easy choices! I managed the first two but never got beyond ovo-lacto-vegitarianism, cappuccinos being my drug of choice! As to "How long will this last.....?" the more you worry about it the longer it will probably last!

I found that mindfullness taught me to "accept" my problem with sleep deprivation and that mindfull meditation helped me to relax enough to sleep, for 5-6 hours a night, which is almost enough for me. I am not an MD but I would suggest that melatonin ... (which is natural yes....but is that relevant? Poison ivy is also natural!) ... can cause problems if used long term.

Best wishes!

@marazion......It is good to read that mindful meditation is helping you manage sleep habits. I am getting better at the meditation....can drop in and drop out easily sometimes. Practice, practice, practice. Be safe and protected. Chris

@rainer......congratulations to you and the management of your Seroquel taper. What does it mean that you are trying to delete the ER version? Does that mean that you are planning to stay with a standard Seroquel dosage? I am just at the end of my first taper ever and would appreciate your input. At my first dosage reduction level, I too slept about 22 hours. It was a bit alarming. Be content and at ease today. Chris
