Do you think its a marketing move? Of all the atypicals, Seroquel is the one I associate *least* with schizophrenia--I think bipolar, sleep, anxiety, but not so much schizophrenia. Maybe this label was just a move to reinforce their marketing as an AD. Also, maybe it just shows the company knows alot of people on Seroquel are on it waaay off-label, and they felt they should smack the label on there to cover themselves in terms of liability. Or...maybe it is just trying to sell a neuroleptic as an antidepressant.
Anyway...neuroleptics suck. I wish docs would lay off rx-ing them for everything and just stick to cheaper, safer stuff. Sigh. Oh well.
