And I might comment on my comment, that worrying about the worry was one reason I took Luvox at one point in my treatment because I was thinking about 16 hours a day whether Seroquel would ever give me TD. It doesnt matter whether it will or wont, the idea is not a lovely thought, but neither the Seroquel or the Luvox will do as good a job if I continued to worry about the medication. A good healthy concern and a reading of the PDR is fine but when one thinks they will get all the side effects, "medical student syndrome" develops and the medicine doesnt work as well and they may perceive nonexistant side effects. That doesnt mean that a side effect couldn't occur and shouldn't be reported to your doctor, but unless you're on polypharmacy like I am, taking one or two medications at most is not likely to compound side effects.-- cheers
