Yeah, seroquel was awful- I was taken off benzos and put on it for anxiety by an extremely uninformed doc, and by the time I realized what had happened to me and I took myself off of it, the lush garden off my mind had been reduced to a feild of ashes. Over time I became myself again, but that's a year out of my life I'll never get back.
I'm a realist, and I'll use APs in an emergency, but psych treatment is ultimately about quality of life- choose carefully, and expect good treatment. And never be afraid to "discuss" with your doctor, nobody knows whats up in your head better than the person who lives there. You have a right to question and a right to say no to anything that scares you.missliz
Please excuse the overblown prose, but that's what happened. Seroquel was a very destructive drug for me.
