"i have had chronic insomnia for three years along with occasional anxiety and mind racing.  i&#039;ve tried many of the major hitters, ambien cr, temazepam, lunesta, etc. along with many other otc ones. tried all the &lsquo;before bed&rsquo; tips (tea, no tv, even tried massages, meditation, music). with three years of insomnia i am surprised i don&rsquo;t have some kind of mental illness going on. anyways, after my doctor tried putting me on quetiapine, 25mg &ndash; all i remember is laying my head down on the pillow and it was &lsquo;lights out&rsquo;. i slept 8 full hours then had to use the bathroom. then went back to sleep for another four hours and slept like a baby. wow! i was a little &lsquo;out of it&rsquo; when i got up, but after a hot shower and a cup of coffee, i felt great."
