never sleeps

i have had problems with this all my life, and my docter put me on seroquel to help…but it just covers the problem. the one time i tried to take myself off of it to see if i could sleep on my own, i stayed up for 4 days. i ended up in the e.r. because i was hallucinating due to lack of sleep. not a wonderful experience. they injected me with some stuff and i slept. so if i dont take my pills i just dont go to sleep at all. wonder how long it takes to go without sleep to go plum crazy? 4 days sucked so bad….i was literally freakin out….its like a REALLY BAD acid trip. it sux to be only 17 and have to deal with such s***.
