Hi highanxiety,

If you want to try an antipsychotic you should be very careful about possible side effects. I have read about far too many people who suffer permanent side effects from antipsychotic drugs like Seroquel. Some of these people were never even psychotic (or manic).

I am echoing the opinions of most psychiatrists I have read about. Most say there are better things to take for non-psychotic conditions than antipsychotics. This is why it is critical for psychiatrists to detect true psychosis. If there is psychosis, the usage of an AP agent makes sense in the long term. If there is no psychosis, the side effects of even the best antipsychotics just are not worth the possible benefit. Remember that this opinion is just what I have learned from reading a lot of papers about psychiatry. You are free to see things differently. I hope this helps.
