serquel 25mg for sleep

My Dr. gave me seroquel 25mg to take before bed to sleep. Before this i was taking xanax .25 for panic attics, which I took the xanax 3 x a day. So the Dr. said replace the 3rd xanax with the seroquel 25mg before be d to seep how it works. OK i start taking Seroquel Fri night. Sat. i feel tired a little out of it and feel like I'm gonna have a panic attack. I say OK it probably just the meds getting into me. sun feel the same way. Mon. feel like a zombie not in my own body, very jittery lightheaded. also i flipped out on my husband for no reason. took it again Mon night Tues. felt like even more of a zombie shaking light headed nausea tired felt like i was sitting in the room watching myself. just felt not me. so i stopped taking it. started taking xanax like i was before. and called Dr. which he approved. Now a week later from being off the seroquel i still feel jittery lightheaded and a little nausea. how long is this gonna last and should i go back to Dr. now or wait a while???

i have been on the xanax for like 6 years on and off. before this insodent with taking the seroquel i would normally only take the xanax at night and somtimes in the am if i felt i needed it. Dr. is aware but percribes it for 3 x day because sometimes i would get panic attic in the day. But for a while i didnt take the xanax for about 2 years. I know its not withdrawal from the xanax because i already have stopped taking it before after taking it 3 xday for 2 years and never felt like this just alittle tried. and im taking the xanax now 1/2 in am, 1/2 in middle day and whole to sleep at night .25 mg. so with taking the xanax i should still have the side effect it was withdrawals from that. it all happened after taking that seroquel, not really sure why he percribed that he said it would help me fall asleep. see i can fall asleep but he takes forever because my brain wont shut off. i just keep think about everything. but eventually ill fall asleep and if i dont i get up but that isnt too often i have to get up. f that it was horrible, im thinking it messed with the cheicals in my brain and now there just out of wack now. hopefully they return cause this *****.
