My pdoc didnt perscribe me seroquel after i requested it. I told him i still cannot sleep on remeron and wake up. He added .5mg of xanax and 10mg of paxil, and stated paxil is sedating. i beleive because i told him i dont hallucinate or here stuff. any suggestions.

Have you asked him about trazodone? It's an antidepressant commonly prescribed for insomnia. Quite sedating for most folks. It worked well for me after I had been suffering from major insomnia for about a week & felt like a walking zombie. I was on it prior to being on seroquel (for sleep), but both, after a while, became too sedating for me.
Trazodone is typically pretty safe, though it can cause a rare serious unwanted side effect in men that you should ask your doctor about if you mention this to him.
Good luck.

That's funny, I was prescribed Seroquel by both my GP and then my pdoc even though I am not psychotic. They were just jealous that the voices talk only to me.Sorry. Anyway, I'm being treated with Seroquel for bipolar disorder, I believe mostly for anxiety and insomnia, and it has worked quite well. It's not perfect...I feel tired a lot and have some break-through anxiety, for which I use clonazepam. Ask your doc why you can't try Seroquel.
