"i&#039;ve been taking seroquel for 4 months now. i was in a medical detox for narcotic dependence to pain medication and xanax. i&#039;m on another medication now which interacts with xanax, so i can&#039;t take it anymore. since being on seroquel i sleep amazingly. i used to take 1mg of xanax and 6 or 7 tylenol pm&#039;s just to fall asleep. now i take 75mg of seroquel a night and i fall asleep easily and stay asleep. i do get a weird pain in my hands and fingers, and have started getting muscle pain in my calves. i originally was prescribed to take 25mg in the afternoon and 50 mg at night, but the daytime dose was making me so exhausted i couldn&#039;t function and do my daily activities. taking seroquel has greatly improved my insomnia, depression, and anxiety."
