"i was originally prescribed seroquel to help me sleep after a traumatic experience and post traumatic stress disorder.  i took half a 25mg pill.  i have also had chronic insomnia for over 15 years which i manage with xanax, however when i experience an increase in stress and anxiety to which i cannot manage with exercise and diet, i will add half a dose of seroquel at night to help me sleep more soundly.
i find that i need to take it early in the evening so that i wake up refreshed. it does leave me with a slight grogginess, whereas xanax alone does not however xanax has a shorter half life and there are times when i wake up in the middle of the night.
very happy overall with seroquel for treating insomnia and glad my dr. had the wisdom to know how to help me."
