I’ve heard these are faster acting and have a longer duration. I really want to get off the seroquel I was put on (back when I barely had a sleep problem, was in a hospital setting I found it hard to get good sleep in , just was naive and told it wasn’t addictive and not like a z drug. Since then I’ve completely become dependant physically to sleep (can’t without at all, even nap), and also it doesn’t work anywhere near as effectively - takes hours sometimes to fall asleep, with eating involved (not good) and my dr has added Ativan and zolpidem (stilnox in Aus where I am) ambien other places.

Is this often or prescribed widely? Thinking of bringing up to my doctor/ psychiatrist ..

Any input thank you in advance 🙏🤍
