Is This Dosage Of Seroquel Safe To Be Taken For Sleeplessness?
i am a 53 yr old female who was put on Seroquel for help with sleeping, as the dose was raised I have had so many side effects that I have started questioning my own sanity. the dose I started with was 25mg, now raised to 100-150 and although I have explained these things to my np she keeps telling me that the dose I am on is not high enough to cause all these side effects, so I am wondering what your opinion is......thank you

Hello,
Seroquel is used as sleep medication in doses up to 100 mg, however there are side effects that can trouble one. So, if you are having troublesome side effects then ask your NP to change to other drug like Trazodone/Agomelatine /Benzo.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
