bump
Was researching seroquel.
Thanks all.
Anyone want to add anything?

My p-doc just chewed me out because I don't want to take xanax and said buspar was useless for my severe anxiety disorder.
Hubby was put on seroquel. Was wondering if it was an option for me. Nope.
I cleaned out the xanax, tried it and was bombed.
Damn. Damn. Damn.

I have a friend who was put on a low dose of Seroquel for sleep and anxiety. He is also on xanax. He is recovering from a bypass in his late 30s. He has been losing weight before he started it, but now I don't see him losing as much which worries me. He really needs to lose it for his heart problem.

At first, he seemed fine. Now he is starting to behave a little like he is on an 'anti-psychotic' if you know what I mean. I've seen it before in those that don't need anti-psychotics. He just sorta exists. He walks just so, and natural mood fluctuations are gone. Its sad.

My son has been in and out of rehab for the last 7 months. He has seen 3 different psychiatrists and all gave different diagnosis...... Depression, anxiety, bipolar, and OCD along with chemical dependency. He is currently taking Prozac and Stratera. Sometimes I think this is such a big guessing game.

the fact that seroquel is so effective and positive on me, really points to the fact that i probably have some bipolar/shizo disorder caus thats what the medication is used to treat mainly ... so i guess its not the end of the world, but ya, im still liking this stuff ^_^

ohn ,and one more thing. my friend is takign this stuff too, and he says he takes qgram before bedtime. thats 5x200mg ....

pretty major stuff
