> Nellie7 can you explain this a bit more. So it's not just me then when I notice that although seroquel is good for sleep it makes my mood dark during the morn-mid afternoon next day. Do you happen to know why or how? I'll try to educate my GP regarding this...he likes real science backing over rumour.
>Hi,
I think that any tranquilizer can cause or worsen depression. I have personally experienced this with benzos such as klonopin (in combination with an AD) and with various antipsychotics.
I don't really understand the reason for this. With APs it could be the blocking of dopamine. I think some of the newer antipsychotics block certain serotonin receptors as well, if I'm not mistaken. I don't know.
There have been messages on this board regarding the depressing effect of tranquilizers, so it must be a common side effect. Apparently some people are more sensitive than others in this respect.
Myco, do you take antidepressants as well?Nellie.
