    This is me. I met someone who once had a psychotic attack and told me she has weaned of to a micro-dose that helps calm her internal voice so she can fall asleep.

    I convinced my doctor to try that medicine (after i underwent sleep trials) and it works really well. It’s no sleeping pill, it just shuts up you internal monologue for long enough to get to sleep. It’s great, it got me off my alcohol self medication. It doesn’t make me feel sleepy, though, I need to remember to get to bed. But then it works.

    Anyway the medicine is this one, of course check with your doctor, as I’m just a guy from the internet.

      That seems like a very powerful medication with a lot of effects and side effects that you would only want to use as a last resort. Wiki says it has effects on serotonin and dopamine receptors, which are also receptors effected by zoloft, so if seroquel helps you then you might want to consider switching to zoloft. But honestly what the hell do either of us know, we’re just sharing anecdotes, which is useful but shouldn’t be assumed to be true.
