Why no sleep...

I've been having trouble sleeping lately, so today I took 2 of these Seroquel capsules my friend gave me from his prescription. He said that should be enough to knock me out, but it's been about 1:15 and nothin'..
I want to take another but I don't even know what dose they are.
So should I? Anyone have any experience?

Dude, they prescribe those for schizophrenics. Sleepiness is a side-effect, not their intention.
I suffer from insomnia as well. Do all of these things right before going to bed and you should have an easier time sleeping. You must do ALL of these in this order.
1. Exercise 2. Meditate 3. Take some Kava 4. Masturbate 5. Wash hands
Works everynight for me. FTW

If you want help in sleeping, then try either diphenhydramine or doxylamine succinate (they're practically identical).
Make sure you get the kind that doesn't contain acetaminophen.

Uh they prescribe it to bilpolar also, but it's a tranq. That's what anti-psychotics are.. my friend has the script and he's not schizophrenic, soo...
Anyway, I took 3, I'm feeling very strange, and I'm going to the pub! Should be an interesting time. Cheers!

it may have tranquilizing effects, but it is not classified as a tranquilizer.
you should only be taking this if you are bi-polar or schizophrenic.

Be careful with the kava, its stimulant, so if you take to much youll only make things worse. It is used for sleep but only to reduce anxiety. So if stress is the reason you cant sleep then by all means.
