"this drug was a life-saver.  i had severe insomnia, the doctor said one of the hardest cases he has ever treated.  i tried all the usuals, would get some sleep every couple of days.  i started on this medication at 50mg, and moved up gradually to 300mg.  within a week i was sleeping wonderfully.  it is a deep deep sleep, and it was hard to rouse at the higher dosage.  very vivid dreams.  i did not experience any hunger or weight gain.  i moved back gradually to 25mg, and would sometimes only take half of that tablet.  i just quit taking seroquel totally after 8 months."
