Do you mean Seroquel? What’s PLMD? I recently started taking Seroquel for chronic insomnia. Been on it about two months and it’s worked well, though recently showing signs of losing effectiveness. I may have to bump the dose. Seroquel’s primary use is as an anti-psychotic, and dosage for that purpose runs 800mg plus. I’m taking 200mg for insomnia, so there’s room to grow. Dick Evans

Perodic limb movment disorder, similar to rls, but only happens while you are in bed sleeping. >I recently started taking Seroquel > for chronic insomnia.

According to two doctors, it’s one of the safest meds you can take. No addiction, no withdrawal. >Did you experiance and side effects from it?
Sort of, but it’s good news and bad news. When it works really well, I sleep like a log, but for eleven hours. Not ten, not twelve, but eleven. I suppose I could get up earlier, but I’m self employed and set my own schedules and it’s been so long since I had a decent night’s sleep I’m indulging myself, When I do get up, there’s no grogginess and I’m energetic the rest of the day.

Chronic intractable insominia, over ten years duration. Treated by a sleep specialist with many meds with mixed results. I began taking the Seroquel after Ambien and Prosomm both stopped working. Even chloral hydrate (knockout drops) didn’t work. I was sleeping 1-2 hours a night and spending my days as a sleep-deprived zombie. Dick Evans

It’s listed in the WARNINGS section of the prescribing information, along with neuroleptic malignant syndrome and hyperglycemia.
