Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Health care magic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

I think you can use Seroquel low dose for sleep as it does not cause any significant side effects in the dose range of 25 to 50 mg per day.

I must acknowledge that it is an antipsychotic but quite helpful for restful sleep when other medicines are not tolerated.

I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards.
