You wrote, "I must admit I wish they made a Seroquel without the HUGE H1. Annoyingly, I can't take Zyprexa which is much much less sedating."
I take about 100mg/day Seroquel. I usually divide the dose into 25mg. bits, and use it sort of an anxiolytic. But I know that it's really just the H1 (histamine, right?) agonist that's making me sleepy and hence, slightly less anxious. I honestly can't feel it doing anything else but make me feel like I just took a Benadryl. Whatever else it is supposed to do (augment my Celexa?) I don't really feel it.My pdoc said, "Hopefully, when we get you up to speed on the Lamictal, you can reduce your Seroquel." I said really, why would you do that? She said, "Don't worry, I won't take away your Seroquel yet." I laughed because I was just curious; I have no dependency on Seroquel that I know of. But perhaps she's read about the few guys in a correctional facility somewhere that think it's da bomb and thought I was gonna be all, "I need my Seroquel, man!"
