Lovely! Sleep was awful last night - I'm already developing a strong tolerance to my new Seroquel dose. (Barely has been a week since I doubled from 100 XR to 200 Immediate Release)
Most of the night I'm either wide awake, or going in and out of sleep constantly. For some reason I find once the morning hits, I get more solid sleep and feel rested around 11:30am. (Not cool once I need to get up earlier in the morning)
Reading online, it just seems inevitable that the sedative effects of drugs like Seroquel wear off, which leaves you in an endless cycle of upping the dose to get the same sedative effects.
When you first take Seroquel, it will knock you out like a sledgehammer, and keep you sleeping for a while. But as of last night I didn't feel a thing.
I didn't mention this earlier, but I'm also taking Klonopin and Rozerem at night. Klonopoin is a 'benzo' with severe long-term addictive problems. I've tried weaning off of Klonopin, but with sleep still being a mess, I'm nervous of rocking the boat too much.
So the question is, what now? I'm loaded up on medication and still getting terrible sleep.
Do I switch psychiatrists to the more expensive 'expert'? No clue for now.
All I can do is hope I sleep better tonight.
