"i have had insomnia since i recovered from an adderall addiction, then used alcohol to self-medicate.  not sleeping makes me frantic.  my psychiatrist prescribed seroquel 150 mg, which i have been using for 3 years and it works perfectly.  takes effect in less than an hour, during which i read quietly in bed, and i have no issues in the morning, nor have i experienced any hunger.  like others have said, without it i do not sleep, so i have to make sure it is always available.  i have had no need or desire to increase the dose."
