Hi Nikko,

My doctor put me on seroquel last month. He has me up to 300 mg, but I have to cut them in half or I feel like I can't swallow or breathe right. So I take one in the morning and am usually able to take a nap while my daughter is at school and take the other half in the evening.

They make me very groggy which is such a welcome feeling after years with so little sleep. I'm not sleeping regular hours, but at least I getting some good sound sleep in now. I do have very vivid dreams while on the seroquel, too.

I have back pain issues, too. I hope that eventually I will be able to sleep "normal" hours with the help from the seroquel. Sleeping has been an issue with me for many years. Nothing has helped like the seroquel and nothing is regular yet, just better. I am still up throughout the night most nights.

I'm sorry about your mom's situation.

Lots a hugs

Hamster
