I'm taking seroquel for anxiety and insomnia. It works like a charm - zonks me out for 8 hours kids can crawl all over me (I sleep in the day, work nights) and I dont hear a thing. Check the side effects on the web, some people can't take it. I've had no problems other than an increased appetite. Ive also been on Ambien which works good sometimes.

Hey thanks for the suggestion. I looked up seroquel and see it's an anti - psychotic and it's often used off label as a sedative, which makes me doubt it'll work for me - based on my experience with trazodone (also used off label as sedative, actually an anti depressant) i guess i'm wondering more about all these new sleep aids like Lunestra - i can't take Ambien presently 'cause it's too similar to the Benzo i'm trying to get off of. But thanks.
