Sleep/medication

Hergé
3 months ago

Hi, 

I don't particularly sleep very well and it's just getting worse. Currently I'm taking 50mg fast release Quetiapine as all else has failed. I hate talking it as it just makes me constantly tired.

Does anyone have any other suggestions as everything from "sleep hygiene" to sleep medication does absolutely nothing?

I fall asleep but don't stay there very long.

    Hello, mirtazapine is wonderful for sleep. It’s an SSRI anti depressant, comes in 15, 30 and 45mg strengths. It really helps make you sleepy, about an hour after taking it, I’m starting to nod off. I’m on Risperidone as well as mirtzapine, and like you, the anti psychotic makes me tired a lot. If you haven’t tried Mirtzapine I would definitely look into it
