Though quetiapine is not a sleeping tablet, it helps with sleep. If you had sleep problems prior to starting quetiapine, then the sleep problems may have recurred after it is stopped. If you have sleep disturbances for a long time which are bothersome, then discuss the same with a psychiatrist who can evaluate you in detail & accordingly suggest medication or non medication therapies.
