Not Caring
I usually don't take anything to sleep but I did speed earlier today so. I have 50mg and 100mg trazodones, and 25mg seroquels. The last time I did speed I took 25mg or seroquel and I still didn't get a good night's sleep. Basically I'm wondering which is stronger? How much should I take? Sorry if there's already a thread like this, I searched but couldn't find anything.
 
Seroquel knocks me out, like in a coma, but wake up really groggy. Trazadone works to put me to sleep but then I wake up during the night and can't go back to sleep. I'd say seroquel..no need for the 25mg already though, you could cut it in half and it will probably work (just take it minus the speed this time :-)

weird, i had the exact opposite experience with the drugs. Seroquel 25mg put me to sleep but then id wake up 4 hours later hungry as fuk. Traz 50-100mg (upped over time), ko'd me and kept me feeling groggy for a few hours in the morning. I dont take anything now other melatonin 3mg.

To each their own. good luck op.
 
Seroquil seems to have the opposide effects on me, it actually makes me speedy, weird. Same with Thorizine i know i spelt both wrong but yous know what im saying. I mean Trazodone i noticed atleast in myself and a couple other people i knew would have this weird timing effect that they and i would have to take it as i layed in bed ready to close my eyes because if not, it would almost keep me awake rather than make me sleep. Seroquel seems to knock people out but they vary in doses, im pretty sure they go up to 1600mg tabs or other kind of pill maybe time released but im pretty sure they are immediate. I mean if you're trying to sleep and it's from a come down and could get your hands on some kind of a benzo that would be better because youd know for sure it'd work, but dont get into the habit of doing so because benzo withdrawls are nasty. Benzo's also are highly addictive and actually you grow tolorance alot faster than i noticed with other drugs. if it were me, and i couldnt get my hands on benzo's or nething i'd go for Diphen or The one they put in unisom i forget the exact drugs name. Diphen is in most " allergy " things since it's a Anti-hystamine. Eat i'd say 75mgs of benadryl or its store brand equal, and you should get sleepy. I mean the seroquil will work unless you have the same effect from it that i do, i just dont want to say take this much and it be too much. Best of luck and be safe out there. Good luck,

never done seroquel (i don't do APs)... my girl has a ton of 50 and 100 mg trazodone laying around that she never takes and every once in a while i'll pop 50 mg if i really want to get knocked out for a long time. it will do the job and if you combine with even a little bit of benzos or soma you will be seriously impaired!! i do find that i usually feel a bit faded the next day, like, emotionally flat but i suppose that's to be expected when consuming stuff like this. never had a problem with priapism at the 50 mg dose, i think it is only really an issue if you take excessive amounts (and why would you want to?) 50 mg is definitely plenty to sedate a 5'8" male 160-180 lbs, if you are a small woman probably even 25 mg of this stuff will do. it's strong.

I had a similar experience with Trazodone. It would knock me the fuck out. As in, if I didn't get in bed I would wake up where it had started to hit me. On the couch, at the table, on the dog bed, etc.
I'd wake up and feel like I was slogging through molasses. First 4-6 hours of the day would be extremely hard to get through.

Seroquel is strong, too. But, I could still function and get myself washed and teeth brushed before I went to sleep. I felt it mildly in the morning, but it was never too bad.

I'd go with Seroquel. When I got scripted the Trazodone, I took it for a week and tossed the rest. Awful.
 
Trazodone as more affinity to antagonize Serotonine and Norepinephrine while Seroquel as more affinity to antagonize Dopamine and Norepinephrine which is what you want to block so I would say Seroquel would be better for sleep after amphetamine use. But I would say you need to take at least 50mg if not a little more.
 
I tried both and trazadone did nothing for me. Seroquel worked wonders, I use 50mg per night, 100mg if I have been using stimulants earlier in the day.
It seems to be one of those drugs that everyone responds differently to. I have major insomnia, so maybe a good night sleep for once, I don't notice the grogginess.
I gave a friend an 8th of a 100mg tab, and he slept for 14 hours. I've been told by my doc that he prescribes 25mg in the morning for anxiety, I don't how they
don't pass out at work.
 
i take 600mg seroquel a night to sleep, but your tolerence to the 25mg pills goes up quite quick. 75mg would put u to sleep nicely.
 
Thanks for all the replies, I guess everyones body is different. Trazodone has been working better for me, the seroquel just makes me wake up in the middle of the might hungry. I have also noticed that on night when I get drunk I will wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to go back to sleep? Has anyone had this happen to them?
 
trazodone doesn't work on me at all, it's weird. Seroquel will knock my ass out but yeah i'll get up 4 hours later so tired i can barely walk and still eat as much fatty food as possible and head back to bed lol.

Yeah with alcohol, this happens a lot, i can never sleep well, it's because you body is essentially going into gaba-b withdrawal during the hangover which will fuck your sleep badly.
 
Well i have never taken trazadone and don't plan on ever taking it as i am not risking getting priapism especially when there are so many better options to this drug out there. But i do get prescribed seroquel 300-400mg's a day for bipolar and it does help abit for sleep. If it does knock me out i tend to wake up after 6 hours of sleep almost every time which is around the half life of the drug but atleast it's some sleep. Everyone i know who has taken trazadone says it gives you a awful hangover and it can also trigger real bad migraines as one of it's metabolites MCPP is used to trigger migraines in research settings i do believe.

So yeah i would say go with seroquel as it seems to be by far the better bet of the 2
 
I've been using trazodone for about a month now - it works wonders for my sleep. I spent years on and off sleeing pills, and whaddya know: trazodone has totally sorted my insomnia and it did it from the first night. It also has a pleasant, mild anti-anxiety effect (I only take 50mg) which enables me to feel and act more sociable.

The first night I took it I could hardly walk to bed, lol. That effect diminished within the first three nights. I felt groggy for about 3 days, then I was fine. I don't feel any side effects at all anymore and I sleep really well. I'm up early every morning, feeling refreshed and motivated. I've no idea why I didn't have this prescribed years ago! You know, the other night I took my trazodone and a 1mg etiz - I felt really good the next day :)

Good luck.
 
Trazodone never worked for me. It made me really uncomfortable..like I wanted to crawl out of my skin. Didn't help me sleep a wink..all I wanted when it finally kicked in was to for it to be out of my system.

However, when I was switched to seroquel in detox, it was a life saver. It didn't bug me out and it actually made me sleep. That shit helps big time for me during detox.
 
I forgot to mention when I made my post about trazadone doing nothing for me, I was in complete adrenal burnout. I had ran myself into the ground with drugs, sports, and work. I was doing 18 hour days like it was a breeze thanks to pre-workout stims, until they burned out and I started using coke and oxy.
I tried Trazadone, took 4 bars of Xan, OTC sleep meds, and and Ambien and I was wide awake for four days straigh. The third night I hallucinated and this amazing euphoria. The doc said it has something to do with GABA blasting me all at once after finally resting (Even though I couldn't sleep). He said he never saw cortisol levels so high, it was off the charts, I had worked myself to near death. He gave me Remeron and within minutes of taking it I slept like a baby for ten hours. It amazing. It is very groggy for most people the next day, but if you dramatically need sleep, I highly recommend it. Major mood elevator too that takes months and months before it burns out. I cycle it.
 
they're both nasty drugs, for one time use i'd go with seroquel, seroquel has bad health effects potentially but not from one time.

i will never take trazadone again i got hellish nightmares from that shit.
 
Me too! I forgot to mention that, the nightmares. On a side note, Amitryptilline gave me pretty disturbing dreams as well.
