Hi PJ
>How come they use it so much for anxiety and insomnia? Is this off label use?
Yes, it's off-label. Although Seroquel can be effective for anxiety and insomnia, and can be effective when other treatment have not worked, part of its popularity seems to have resulted from a reluctance to prescribe benzos and hypnotics.
