hey zephyr and claire, are you guys prescribed seroquel predominately for sleep issues? or is it for mental health problems? i'm just wondering because when i was suffering from depression and get insomnia my dr never hesitates to prescribe me temazepam or valium even though he knows ive had addiction problems with it before.
im just curious.
Its not for depression, its for returning your sanity. It doesnt do much for insomnia at small doses. The starting dose is 25mg. It stops the craziness and fixation and depersonalisation that meth and other drug use sometimes causes by stopping the serotonon and noradrenalin pathways fucking up, basically.
Larger doses at night do make you sleep.
Even larger doses knock down the most psychotic of meth users. I had to give one (100mg) to a friend who had been up for over a week and was getting aggressive as he thought everyone there at the time was trying to get to him via hacking his computer. He was very upset. He thought I was trying to poison him, so I explained to him that it was to calm him down as he was not enjoying himself. He eventually took it and it was like watching an elephant that had been rampaging being shot with a tranquilizer dart. He just- slumped on the couch, still trying to talk, then slowly stopped talking and fell asleep for about 12 hours.
Ive been on it for many months. Its not something you want to be dependant on for a long time but it will be a while yet before I come off it.
