Stuwars9000 | Hello there.
Like many of us, I have insomnia (for as long as I can remember). I am on adderall (40 in the AM, 20 in the PM) and Zoloft. My therapist suggested Seroquel for sleep as well as not taking my PM Adderall (I take it at 3pm). She feels 3pm is too late and may be feeding into my sleep issues.
