I have many patients who complain about insonmia and often I prescribe Seroquel for them. Works like charm ;)
"Seroquel causes certain rare and fatal side effects. One of them is neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). Symptoms of this syndrome include nausea, vomiting, anxiety, agitation, insomnia, sore throat, blurred vision, stiff muscles, excessive sweating, jerky muscle movements, and sudden numbness in the muscles and decreased hunger. Certain patients using Seroquel also develop hypertension and diabetes. Another serious side effect with Seroquel is tardive dyskinesia (TD), an incurable neurological disorder characterized by uncontrollable movements of the face, tongue and other parts of the body. Tardive dyskinesia occurs due to prolonged usage of Seroquel. It is important to consult the physician when one observes any of the above symptoms."

I still prescribe Seroquel to my patients anyway. You don't really have to inform them about TD (most patients never ask anyway). It just works.
