Hi doctor,
I am struggling to get up early in the morning. I sleep for eight hours every day. I press the snooze button many times, but still, I cannot wake up early. I became irregular to the work which became a barrier to my career. Currently, I am taking tablet Fluvoxin 100 mg in the afternoon for OCD and depression, tablet Oxetol 450 mg in the evening for gelastic seizure, tablet Quetiapine 100 mg at night for delusions.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You have to be strict about your schedule. You are taking tablet Quetiapine at night. It is a standard medication which affects your sleep, mostly due to oversedation. But there is no other option if your delusions are under control with it or you may try another antipsychotic like Risperidone. You must sleep early at night if possible and take night medication soon at least at 9 PM if you are going to sleep at 10 PM. Fix your sleeping time from 10 PM to 6 AM. Do not snooze alarm. It is hard initially after that you will use to get up early. If you have depressive features, then treat your depression, because depression can also cause a problem in sleep (wake up issue).
