Is qutan habit forming or addictive drugs? May it causes dependency? I take 50 mg or 75 mg for 3 years due to my insomnia problems. Before qutan I took clonazepam near about 5 years. But I became dependency on it. Then I gradually stop benzo and now I continue taje qutan 50 mg. Dr. said me it is safe drug except some side effect. So I have questions, is qutapine addictive as like benzo?

It does not come under addiction category medication and can be safely taken on a longer run, but, only under the supervision of a-psychiatrist. You need to be monitored for various health, lab parameters and at least once in 3 months review is needed. It should not be taken over the counter on own, and the resulting consequences can be disastrous. Good luck.

Hello Lybrate user no it does not have addiction potential. It's relatively safe except few side effects at 50 mg of dose. You can start practicing sleep hygiene along with medicine that will help you to maintain your sleep cycle. Thank you.

Dear Papai, Quetiapine is not as addictive as any benzodiazepine. Still it is better to get your insomnia diagnosis checked so that you can be treated appropriately. Now-a-days sleep studies are done in many labs. Many different conditions cause insomnia.

It is not advisable to fully depend on any drugs for a along run. It will definitely form a habit. Try other effective approches for insomnia problem. You may chat with me for any help.
