Have had insomnia past 13 years. Was diagnosed bipolar in 2008. Have been on Seroquel since 2012. Pre-diabetic due to Seroquel. Tapering off Seroquel w/many problems. Tapered off too quickly in December only to find myself returning to MAXIMUM dose of 200mg. Once again, tapering down slowly—lowering 25mg every 4th night.
have started Accupuncture twice/week.
A crazy little tip I’ve had luck with: when I lay my head down on pillow and find I cannot fall asleep I will hold one eye open and stare at the wall. Every time I have tried this exercise my body has succomed to sleep b/c the sheer effort of holding that eye open is tiring.
