"i have been taking seroquel at a low dose (50mg) for about 10 years; for insomnia and depression (to augment another mood stabilizer).  it generally works very well.  i fall asleep almost immediately and have uninterrupted sleep.  i do have some grogginess in the morning but it generally wears off within 30-60 minutes.   the only other potential side effect i&#039;ve experienced is elevated cholesterol, but i do not know if the seroquel is causing it; my internist believes it may be hereditary.  

it&#039;s available as a generic and is very inexpensive with my insurance. 

overall i find it&#039;s a good med."
