Alternatives for insomnia?
Post Body

Hey all, I've been prescribed Seroquel in varying dosages (12.5mg, 18.75mg, 25mg) for a couple months now to combat cripling insomnia and to improve on my panic disorder. I also take Escitalopram 20mg and i'm in the process of weaning off of Xanax. My Doctors keep advising me to keep taking seroquel at least until I have weaned off of xanax completely. And say that with such low dosages I could just stop taking it without withdrawal. But I really really hate this medication. It doesn't help me to fall asleep at all, but once I am asleep I am gone to a different universe and nothing wakes me. I miss phone calls and appointments because of it. And the worst is the chaotic dreams and dreadful nightmares that keep on going. It's like my mind gets possessed by a demon when I take this stuff. I wake up in a bed soaked in sweat almost every morning. But if I don't take it, I don't sleep, I get withdrawals, and my anxiety gets worse because of it. So... can anyone here recommend me (natural) alternatives to help me sleep, so I can get through the xanax withdrawal, and stop taking this nasty stuff??
