so i got hold of some 50mg seroquels, which i was gonna use to sleep in emergencys when my insomnia got bad (would not use it nightly), im wondering if i halved it and tried 25mg at first, i dont want to feel awful although i heard at this dose its just a potent sedating antihistamine (heard alot of reports of bad exp with high dosing), just wanna feel tired enough for sleep, any advice with this? any bad side effects? and should 25mg be enough to sleep with no tolerance to the stuff?

thanks
 
250 will knock you out and you may feel your sinuses dry out due to its anti-histamine like qualities.

I am prescribed 200mg a night but I'm pretty sure 100mg would work for sleep.

It will last into the morning with some residual tiredness. A few strong cups of coffee work to get clar headed again.
 
some kids were selling seroquel at my high school years ago,
i doubt you would feel awful if anything youd feel indifferent,
my ex's dad was perscribed 1000mg a day for skitzophrenia, basically there was no hearing from him once he was asleep

my ex's brother has severe insomnia and his dad gave him a 300mg seroquel and he said the next day he woke up and felt awesome,

have you tried cannabis for insomnia? i dont know seroquel is something i wouldnt want to fuck with
 
25mg down the hatch low doses are ment to work well for sleep with less side effects, will report if it helps/
 
Dunno if that will be enouggh man. But see it it works for you. I would expect 50mg -100mg to really work.

Sorry I read they were 500mg tablets at first. My mistake.
 
i get seroquel prescribed to me and 50mg is the usual perfect dose for someone who just wants to go to sleep and wake up fine the next day with minimal side affects. if you want to cut it in half. take 25 mg, if in 1 hour you dont feel sleepy, take the other half.
 
cheers, took your advice, been binging on stims all day NRG1 (think its an mdpv mix) so gonna need more than 25mg, feel tired but not enough to just put me to sleep/
 
personally i think seroquel sucks...i was on 300mg and it wasnt doing jack for my insomnia.
when i left that doctor and went to another he decided to put me on 100mg for sleep for my insomnia..what a joke..so now to even get groggy i have to take around 3-4.
personally i think seroquels a joke as a sleeping pill..granted it worked the worst few days..but ever since it hasnt done shit for me
 
Still works for me and I've been having it for months. All that changes is the lack of side effects compared to when I first had them.
 
25mg pills worked great for me for 3 or 4 months before I had to go up to 50mg. If you take them on an empty stomach it seems to help alot. It's like a ton of bricks hitting you all of a sudden, and you have no choice but to fall out. The more you take the less effective it can be for sleep. You should start with the lowest dose possible and see how it effects you.

you must have some serious insomnia, because from what ive heard its really sedative, are you also being treated for a psychological condition, do benzo's or z drugs work?
 
worked a treat, was out like a light and slept solidly for about 12 hours :D, didnt notice any bad side effects from 50mg, glad ive got them around for when i need them.
 
Same dose as have used for a year's time . glad that you have had success at this relatively low dose .
At one point in the past I was prescribed 300 mg. Not good for me .
 
i stay up 2-3 days at a time with 7 days being my max, i have hypermanic skitzophrenia, and its not good at its worse, but 50 mg's of seroquel will have me fall asleep unless i fight it. i dunno how some one can take 300 mg's n not b tired, my friend takes 300 mg's 3 times a day for skitzophrenia, and he isnt tired at all. so i have no idea why it dosnt help some people sleep, but even me being skitzophrenic it deffinitly helps me sleep. 25 would prolly work too depends who u are i guess.
 
the reason people who take 300mgs of seroqual 3x a day and dont get tired is because that person is schizophrenic and they need there meds to be stable. if your just tying to take it for sleep try taking 25mgs. i used to get the 100's and cut them in quarters to sleep, but i would always wake up with a vicious headaches. And like u said you have no tolerance then 25mgs. should put you down all night. good luck - Nicoale
 
this (above). if you do not have schizophrenia, a much lower dose shouuld work just fine as a sleep aid. when i used to use quetiapine/seroquel to come down off a meth binge, 100 mg was plenty to knock me out.
 
They worked great to get me asleep, I did build up a tolerance quickly. The biggest issue w/ em was that I couldn't wake up in the morning to save my life.
 
My tolerance to seroquel skyrocketed faster than anything and I seem to be stuck at suck a high tolerance. I also think with tolerance it takes longer to feel its effects just from my experience anyone know if this is true for them to
