Hi ME.
I am quite ambivalent regarding the use of atypical antipsychotics as a anxiolytic or hypnotic. However, at 25-50mg, I think Seroquel might stand out as a reasonable alternative to benzodiazepines. I am not benzophobic, but many doctors certainly are. My impression is that Seroquel at these low dosages has a very low risk of EPS, and almost none for TD. I don't know if weight gain and diabetes are risks at these dosages either.
