I was prescribed depakote, seroquel, and prozac
for symptoms of depression, anxiety and insomnia. Prozac and paxil didn't help much. Depakote helped a great deal with anxiety but after 6 months I felt "over-loaded" - sedated all the time. Seroquel was a blessing for me, though. I went to bed at night, slept well all night long, and got up in the morning when I was supposed to, without feeling drowsy. For long-term insomnia I would think seroquel would be preferable to a benzo like xanax...maybe something like klonipin (sp?)PRN to help you sleep until the seroquel kicks in (it takes a few weeks).
Good luck-
Gracie
