I have sever treatment resistance depression with anxiety,been on ton of medications and in years for therapy and i suffer from insomnia.
I have been taking Zolpediem (ambien) as an anti anxiety aid , even though i have tried many many anti anxiety meds this medications meant for insomnia is what sometimes helps, and i did tell my doctor that it does that and i need something similar to it for everyday life but he said my experience is unusual and unaware of any similar medications.

As for a sleeping aid i use quetiapine, usually between 50 to 100 mg to avoid feeling foggy and tired the next day but it doesn’t help anymore and i have to increase the dose sometimes which makes me feel sick and have sleep paralysis.

So my questions are is there a similar anti anxiety drug like ambien?
As for quetiapine how can i reduce the side effects? Because this is only the medication that worked.


Thank you
