Hi there. I hope you're doing well by now.

I used to take Seroquel (instant-release) for sleep. It took 100 mg to put me to sleep (along with 200 mg trazodone and 1 mg Xanax). I get away now with just Lunesta at 3 mg, thankfully. One thing about Seroquel was that it made me gain weight. Not as much as some other psych meds, but it can do that. That's probably the least of your concerns right now, though.

Olanzapine (brand name Zyprexa) can help you sleep probably a little better than Seroquel if you're going for antipsychotics for sleep. However, you wouldn't want to be on that long-term because it is the second worst offender for causing diabetes (second to clozapine). Mirtazapine (brand name Remeron) is another one that was mentioned above that could help you sleep, too. It, too, can cause weight gain though.

Depending on where you live, there are some newer medicines called dual orexin antagonists (DORAs), which include Belsomra (suvorexant), Dayvigo (lemborexant), and Quviviq (daridorexant). They're probably not as potent as antipsychotics, benzos, or Z-drugs though. But they're great for sleep maintenance.
