I have used Seroquel for sleep PRN for about a year. The use has been sporadic over that time. I usually always have to use it when I am trying an anti-depressant. I also have insomnia a lot anyway and sometimes use it on those nights. I am trying of late to not take it though. 25mg just makes me so tired all into the next day even and when the tiredness wears off it is replaced with this awful anxious feeling. I don't know why. The longest I took it consecutively was like three weeks and that was a year ago, when I first started it. I didn't get the anxious feeling when the tiredness wore off back then, but I was on Klonopin at the time so maybe that is why. Now I am on nothing else.
Abilify- too activating. even 2mg acts like an anti-depressant in me. Insomnia, restlessness, can't think... etc....
Risperdal- I have not tried
Geedon - I have not tried
None of those would be of primary help to my OCD though. I have heard of augmenting with them though, especially Risperdal and more recently Abilify.
