Seroquel as needed? Sleep suggestions and experience

Not being able to sleep or stay asleep is ruining my life. I can’t take benzos or any of the z drugs. Does anyone take Seroquel as needed? Or Tradzadone as needed.*

As a lifelong (since childhood!) insomniac, before perimenopause, I could at least fall asleep at say 4:00 and sleep like a champ. No more.

I see my psych in February, so I’m getting familiar with options beforehand.

*To clarify, Seroquel doesn’t work for me on an ongoing everyday basis. It wrecks my metabolism. But maybe once a week? I’m willing to suffer through a couple of crap days if I can one night of sleep in every four days or so.

I’d appreciate hearing how you deal with sleep. Thank you so much.
