I took Seroquel 300 for 10 years and now the effects of it in my body don't last very long maybe due to habituation. Since the half life of it is 6 hours and only during 6 hours I feel great, how can I make this feeling last all day? Seroquel XR half life is 7-12 hours, so I'm not sure if this is the solution...

I still use Seroquel but I hate the need of using it. I need it so I can sleep properly, however, I do get drowsy all day long. The pill I use lasts almost 24 hours, so I'm going in an opposite direction by chewing them hoping to get affected for a shorter period of time.
In your case, I'd recommend XR tablets, not generic. It's strange because I have used them for quite a long time and haven't developed any tolerance whatsoever. Not 10 years like you, but 6 and 200 mg still makes me extremely drowsy and very tired on the following day. I have also noticed that there are generics that differ from the original Seroquel medication. I think they are not as strong as the original drug. Maybe it's only me idk.
Also, one of the reasons I do take Seroquel and not Benzos in general is because I was told that they are not as addictive and does not build tolerance as quickly as benzos do. As I mentioned, I have never detected any sort of tolerance at all.
Why do you need to use it? I can't imagine using this recreationally.

Half life time doesn't necessarily mean that the effects are over in 7-12 hours.
I looked this up so I could give you an example:
The half life of Ambien is about 2 hours
If you took a 10 mg Ambien tablet at 8 pm then by 10 pm there would be 5 mg remaining in your system and by 12 pm there would be 2.5 mg in your system and so on.
