Thank you for the support. I was taking 25mg for a relatively short period of time (4 months). Long story short is I think life stress just caught up to me and put me in a mild depression which turned into insomnia and anxiety. I just wasn't sleeping. Like at all. At the worst point I had been awake for 3 days before going on Seroquel.
I feel that I could have been off it sooner had my dr warned me or even knew coming off of it would also cause insomnia for a couple days. Every time I skipped a pill I didn't sleep so I thought it was me.
Last night was not normal in terms of what I have been experiencing coming off of Seroquel. I feel that I have passed the hump a week or so ago so it was weird not to sleep. And I didn't feel the same "insomnia" as when it first started. I felt tired but my head was buzzing. Like I had too many red bulls. My first experience with insomnia I felt normal but I just wasn't tired at all.
It really might have been the video games and not enough wind down time. I'll see tonight what happens.
