Have you ever been on or used Seroquel?

My doctor prescribed it to me to try and sleep at night, now I find that I'm having a hard time staying awake.

what's the dose?? Sometimes initial side effects becomes much less prominent after a few days or a week or two.

@HowtoDestroyAngels the lowest dose is 25mg unless you cut it. If you weren't sleeping & this is helping, I'd work with your MD to see if 25mg is an option or give it a few days or even 2 weeks to see if the side effects subside.
Is this this medication strictly being used to help you sleep?
It is an anti-psychotic but using a small dose for sleep is not uncommon. If it helps my background & credentials are I am licensed as a Psych RN BUT I am not a MD. Work with your MD is my suggestion ....maybe 25 ng helps you get the desired sleep you are after.
