I've just started to use Seroquel instead of Zyprexa and am having fantastic results - sleep is a bit broken but not unmanageable, but better, I'm calm, awake during the day - almost elated at this business of being alive and that has been an elusive feeling over the past 10 months! My question - are dibenzothiazepines addictive in the way that sleeping benzo's are? Anyone?Jan

I've not heard that they are. I took some seroquel only a couple of nights and found it a great sleep drug. Are you hungry all the time though? A friend of mine put on a pile of weight.

I had better not get hungry on it! I was taken off zyprexa due to the weight gain. So far, I'm deliriously happy and hyper and not overly hungry!

In my experience, no. I've been on the same maintenance dose of Seroquel for a year now and rarely have to take more to sleep. The only problem is when I don't take it - then I don't sleep. Still, when you compare that to benzos and the tolerance you can develop, I much prefer the Seroquel.
