Hi Ed!
Thanks for your suggestions they both seem great. My only concern with quetiapine is that its apparently majorly sedating. I find heavy sedating meds do work well against my anxiety (ie dothiepin was great for anxiety) but usually after a few weeks of them I am totally sick of feeling tired all the time. Also its an atypical and the atypicals I have tried havent agreed with me, still they are all different right?
The benzo idea is great one though I am concerned about the addiction/dependancy aspects of it and also the likelyhood of it being prescribed at all.
No suggestions of typicals for me? Perphenazine is also prescribed for anxiety, is it much different to stelazine? Levomeprazine seems like another one in the sedating phenothiazine group, is it more similar to chlorpromazine or thioridazine?
So many questions, sorry if I am bugging you!
To be honest I am quite stressed about the whole thing, I havent seen a psychiatrist for many months and am quite anxious that he do something for me before writing me off for another 6 months.
