"after having been tried on every sleep med for insomnia (benzodiazepines, non-benzodiazepines, belsomra and a few antidepressants), i asked my dr if i could try seroquel (quetiapine) having taken it about 15 years ago. 
i&#039;ve had insomnia for years and years. about 20 years ago i was put on seroquel 50 mg and it helped a lot. it worked again for me, however i was on 400mg for at least 6 months. i hadn&#039;t had more than 2-3 hours of sleep for years and immediately slept through the night. i am currently taking 200mg and hope to decrease that amount as i&#039;ve gained 40 pounds over the past two years and exercising and dieting have not helped.  lose weight but go back to insomnia, sleep well but remain overweight. i love/hate seroquel!"
