Thoughts on Seroquel

I posted in the mental health forum but thought maybe I could get some opinions here. The rehab doctor has prescribed Seroquel for my daughter due to anxiety issues. Tomorrow she and I are going to her addiction doctor. Anyone with any experience with Seroquel or other anti-anxiety drugs. My problems with the Seroquel is that my daughter also has an eating disorder and I have heard that you gain a lot of weight on Seroquel. Not good for someone with an ED. Also the cost. We are helping with her Suboxone and have sent in forms for free prescriptions through pparx for her other meds. If there is a non-addicting anti-anxiety med that will do the job for her and is a generic let me know. I will discuss this with her doctor tomorrow as she has given me permission to go with her and bring any of my concerns to him. It may be possible for her to get the Seroquel for free through AstraZeneca. We will see. Thanks for any imput. Marle
