Hi Ginger, I'm afraid the insomnia is strictly the lack of seroquel. Slept like a baby as long as I took various doses of lorazepam and then the 25 mg of seroquel (weaned down from higher doses.) The last titrated dose of seroquel was on Dec 31st (happy new year.) Now I can't fall asleep before around 4a.m. and am lucky if I can sleep 3 or 4 hours. I'm going to try melatonin (I think), but not totally sold out on that idea because of possible interactions with other meds and glaucoma. My sleep environment is good, I'm trying walking, diet and prayer to get through. Need a miracle.

@rainer I was taking melatonin until someone on this website suggested magnesium. It's much better than melatonin for me. 250 mg (sometimes 2 250 mg tablets) and I am asleep in half an hour and sleep through the night. Of course you would check with your dr to see if this is an option for you. I suffer from debilitating anxiety so have always needed a sleep aid, Lunesta was the best but no insurance will cover it anymore (might be because of the crappy generic version).
