Doing so can cause major withdrawals and horrible side effects. I have a link that tells you all about seroquel. I do not reccomend you read it, as it will only scare you off it. I did not even look closely at the page. But I will leave it up to you. Blessings - Blu

s in the long run but the effect can be masked while it is occuring and should not be given for assistance with sleeping for this reason. Lunesta and Rozerem are known sleep aides that are safe and effective and can be taken every day especially Rozerem which is derived from Melatonin and helps regulate the sleep cycle.
However, there is no known interaction between rozerem and sertraline. You could try and adopt good sleep hygiene measures like going to bed at the same time, waking up at the same time, avoidance of alcohol, smoking and caffeinated beverages. Try and maintain a warm, comfortable bedroom environment and engage in relaxing activities like a warm bath before bed time.

There are safer sleeping medications such as Lunesta and Rozerem. My concern about Trazadone is the fact that it can cause tardive dyskinesia. If you are not taking it for depression but as a sleep aid you might want to ask your psychiatrist about the two I mentioned. This link is from a psychiatric journal and lists all known medications that can cause tardive dyskinesia and Trazadone is clearly listed as one.
t really what we worry about. What we worry about is the side effects and difficulty quitting a medication that alters the way the body works naturally. As this seems to be a newer drug, there probably isn't a lot of info yet on how people do with it long-term. Remember that antidepressants are not controlled substances but have pretty much the same difficulties when you try to stop taking them, depending on the person.
Please don't do anything without speaking to your psychiatrist. Lamictal is generally a very tolerable mood stabilizer. If you find you can't tolerate it speak to your psychiatrist. There are many viable options listed on the links page. As regarding mood stabilizers if you stop them the moodswings and full symptoms of mania and depression return. As for Ambien if you can't tolerate it you can ask your psychiatrist about changing it.
I agree with Rebbecca, it's a high dose to start with and those can be side effects. It can make you feel very out of it, and tired, have difficulty concentrating and retaining information as well as other side effects. It's also a medication that most drs monitor the blood levels of also, so you probably want to ask for blood work to make sure he has acceptable blood levels built up at this point, not to high and not too low.
Hello and welcome to the forum. Thank you for your question. Questions regarding medication are best discussed with your doctor as they prescribe the medication and know your particular situation. What is your specific issue with insomnia? Rozerem seems to be best used for those who don't fall asleep easily. Is that your situation? It works on melatonin and is not supposed to be habit forming which is a great benefit. https://www.medicinenet.com/rozerem/article.
s have scary side effects like TD,Diabetes,Akithisia which can occur even with low doses and even short duration of treatment so all I was saying was it should be used for the purpose it was made for.I am scared to get any of the these side effects and that is the reason why I am so eager to get off Risperdal at the earliest which is now 2 days away..I have posted a question in the expert forum to view their response on taking low dose Seroquel as a sleeping aid.Let us see their response.
There have been concerns about the safety of melatonin from what I know so Rozerem being an FDA approved medication in that in works in the same manner but is a known quantity is a better option. I was precribed Rozerem a while back to use as needed and I do so responsibly but it hasn't been in a long time. It can if directed by a psychiatrist be used every day to work to adjust the sleep cycle and has been helpful for some people I know in that regard.
Unfortunately, this is all trial and error, so this is something you're going to have to discuss with your psychiatrist. It's possible that you haven't found your med yet, as you're still this depressed. I'd also recommend if you're not already doing it to get into therapy with a psychologist and see if you can't actually cure this thing rather than treat the symptoms.
If I had known that this medicine would have such an adverse effect on me I never would have taken it. My doctor never told me of the possible side effects and prescribed me more. When I had clear side effects, of the Ambien CR, my doctor didn't even know it. I'm not passing the blame to her because I should have paid more attention to what was going into my body. I wish that I had done more research on sleep aids before I thought of taking it.
Isn't Rozerem very closely related to melatonin? I've tried melatonin and valerian for insomnia. Neither with much success. Surely there are other alternatives besides trazadone and rozerem. I would like to know what they are.
She is currently in dosage of 25/150, 25/150, 25/100, and around 0.16 requip before sleep together with Rozerem 8mg and Zyprexa 1.25 mg. (I forgot to mention Zyprexa in previous post)
But strangest thing is she becomes much more difficulty in falling and staying asleep. In theory, if the dyskinesia/teeth grinding went away, she should feel much better and more easier to get into sleep. But it does not.
Probably because I hate swallowing tablets and have the sollutab version and have never had any side effects at all from it. May be a different tablet you are on about. If so I am sorry in advance. Just the name in your heading made me think of remeron. I might be even spelling it wrong as we don't call it that over it.
you mention hair loss and weight gain in the same sentence as Lithium and Depakote but neither of those are common side effects of those drugs - sure they appear on very long lists on the internet but so does evetything else.
Weight gain is in fact a given side effect for 99% of Anti Depressants and Mood Stabilisers -its far more common in Anti Depresants actually.
