Well, thanks for the welcome.

I'm in a I'm okay with medication phase right now so, why an antipsychotic rather than a benzo or why an antipsychotic for sleep?

Benzodiapines are fantastic short term drugs. Long term? Not so much. Add their abuse potential and addictive qualities and it can get messy even with Ativan. I love Ativan!

I take Seroquel to go to sleep. I've tried various antidepressants to help - no go. Sleeping pills make me high, and I like that kind of high, a lot, so they never last and worse yet - don't keep me asleep. I fall asleep and wake up bright eyed and ready to go 3 hours later. I need my nightly brain reset so, a drowsy drug that knocks me right out without any interesting effects is fantastic and I've probably raved about it before but the increased appetite is amazing! K, so maybe that's an interesting effect but I won't get "high" on going to bed with snack foods.
