insomnia

Ive been on 200mg of setraline for 2 weeks but a month before that i had increased every two weeks starting at 100 and then to 150.

Starting this weekend, I noticed I was feeling a bit better. I have been taking .5xanax every night to sleep and usually just get about 5-6 hours but I finally started to fall back asleep after waking up after 5 hours and actually sleeping in and hitting the snooze button which i was so happy about! but then i didnt take xanax one night bc i remember last week not having to take it bc I was so tired and had a few glasses of wine and it put me right to sleep.

But Monday night, I didn't take the xanax and had a hard time sleeping, Was so tired all Tuesday and my psych prescribed seroquel which if used at a high dose is for bipolar but at a low dose is for sleep. I'm so scared to take it. I feel like i need to give my body a break and let it adjust to the 200mg before introducing another medication.

I've been taking .5 xanax for 2 weeks and initially my psych said it was ok to take and just take it as needed for the month and not to worry about getting addicted. So i dont know why she all of the sudden wants me to take seroquel. Seems like an intense medication to take just to reset sleep/mood when I'm already taking 200mg and have only been on that dose for 2 weeks.

thoughts anyone??
