"i had severe depression and could not sleep at all. my husband can testify that i could be awake for 4 days in a row. i had anxiety attacks. i was on cymbalta, lamotrigine and molipaxin. but the depression stayed and my sleep did not improve at all. i was hospitalized 3 times in less than 3 years. the last time i was gradually put on bigger doses of serequel - up to 400g. the last 2 days i slept through the whole night - deep sleep! i have been on it for more than 5 years. i drink it at night  -about an hour before i want to sleep. i have slept every night. my mood has been stable all these years - no depression , anxiety attacks or weight gain. i do have difficulty getting &quot;fully awake &quot; in the morning. but i would rather have this &quot;side effect&quot;."
