My Dr. did at one point have me on Xanax during the day and Seroquel at bedtime.
Unfortunately I'd have an easier time getting buprenorphine than benzos, Sighh
But not wanting to derail the topic.
What class of medication is Seroquel? I am a horrible insomniac and I have not heard of this?

I think this is out of fear of benzos that is common these days.I recall Librium being used by my mom some 40+ years ago, is it still around? I have not seen it anywhere and I haven't heard of anyone having it prescribed
For myself and others with sleep/anxiety issues the z-drugs (or ambien) work for a while then become less effective or you get the "zombie effect". Have found relief with longer acting benzos (ativan-valium etc). Xanax will work but has a shorter half-life.
I would also think that Librium would work for this as well but have no personal experience.
Being kind to others costs nothing and enriches your life,
never forget how you felt when someone was once cruel to you,
we all have felt unloved at one time or another we should never want another to feel that way.
