You should give Seroquel/Quetipine a try. I'm only taking 100mg of it at night and after careful research and talking with my pdoc we agree that it is a low enough dose not to trigger the antipsychotic effects of the drug just the sleepy pattern and I get about 7 hours but I DO wake up groggy and want a few hours more... takes me about 3 cups of coffee and some VAPING nicotine to get out of the fog but I do. Also noticed my nightmares are almost nightly now that I'm on it but I just shake it off and go on with my day.

GOoD lUcK! Don't mix benzos or Seroquel with alcohol unless you want the mother of all hangovers. Just trust the Seroquel.
