Sleep disorders are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. In the United States, approximately 25% of patients will be hospitalized with sleep disorders each year and 30% will be diagnosed within the first year of hospitalization. The American Sleep Disorders Association estimates that approximately 1% of all patients who are admitted to hospital have sleep disorders.1,2,3
In the United States, sleep disorders are prevalent among patients with primary insomnia.1–3
Primary insomnia is defined as a lack of spontaneous activities, especially activities that require the patient to be asleep for at least one hour.2,3,4
Sleep is one of the most common psychiatric disorders among individuals with insomnia.5,6 In addition to primary insomnia, many patients with secondary insomnia also have other insomnia conditions, including comorbid depression, anxiety disorders, and anxiety and panic disorders.6 These sleep disorders are often treated with medication or psychotherapy, such as psychotherapy, benzodiazepine therapy, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), as well as a combination of these drugs.5–7
Serotonin syndrome is a serious, albeit rare condition that occurs when a patient experiences symptoms of serotonin syndrome that cause confusion, depression, or anxiety.6 Serotonin syndrome can be severe or be life threatening.6,7,8
Serotonin syndrome is also known as serotonin syndrome. Serotonin syndrome is caused by the excessive activation of certain natural substances in the brain that increase serotonin levels in the body.7–8
Serotonin syndrome is more prevalent in patients with sleep apnea.8 The exact etiology of serotonin syndrome is unknown, but it can be due to genetic predisposition, inflammation, and psychological factors.9,10,11
Sleep apnea occurs when a patient with sleep apnea experiences symptoms of sleep apnea, including difficulty in sleeping, a feeling of fullness in the upper body, and an abnormal sensation in the chest.11–12
Sleep apnea is characterized by the absence of adequate sleep, inadequate waking time, and daytime sleepiness.13–14
SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are commonly used to treat sleep apnea and other sleep disorders.15,16 SSRIs have been shown to improve sleep quality, decrease sleep latency, and delay the onset of sleep, while also improving sleep onset time.16
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are among the most commonly prescribed antidepressants for treating sleep apnea and other sleep disorders.17,18–23
The SSRIs that are commonly prescribed for sleep apnea include paroxetine (Paxil), sertindole (Zoloft), fluoxetine (Prozac), and venlafaxine (Effexor XR).22,23
Seroquel is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that is FDA-approved for treating depression and other mood disorders.24 SSRIs are also used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).25
The SSRIs’ efficacy in treating sleep apnea and other sleep disorders is supported by evidence that they are safe, effective, and well-tolerated.26,27,28
In addition, the SSRIs are also effective in improving sleep quality, reducing nighttime awakenings, and improving sleep-related daytime sleepiness.29–31
Seroquel is also an FDA-approved and non-stimulant antidepressant for the treatment of sleep apnea and other sleep disorders.32,33
Seroquel has been approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders, as well as for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).34,35
