My whole life I’ve had terrible insomnia.

Despite having a schedule that forces me to wake up at 6am, and trying to go to bed on a good time on the weekends. I would be unable to fall asleep without laying in bed without using my phone for 3 hours (on a good day).

However about 2 years ago I took 25mg’s of seroquel and it knocked me out for 10 hours straight. This was 1000x more effective than melatonin and all the other recommended supplements and hacks.

I realized all I needed was 6.25 mg’s and it would have me fall asleep in an hour and a half. Which for me is the equivalent of those who can fall asleep in 5 minutes.

However the issue you is now I cannot sleep without it. On odd nights I’ve tried not to take it I will be awake in bed for 6 hours.

Is there anything I can replace this with , that I may not have considered. I’m worried about the long term effects of taking an antidepressant daily, especially when I don’t have depression to begin with.
