I havent taken seroquel but I have taken zyprexa, amisulpride, risperdal, sulpride, thioridazine, chlorpromazine, stelazine and currently take flupenthixol and pericyazine.

Im sorry to hear you had such a bad time with antipsychotics I certainly agree that they arent for everyone and many people have severe side effects from them.

For me they are godsend. I guess I fall into that category of people who must take antipsychotics and I am quite happy to do so. For me the benefits far out weigh the down sides. I think I am very lucky in this regard however, I have an illness which responds best to antipsychotics and I can take antipsychotics without too much difficulty.

I'll take yer hat though ;-)
