In reply to Why Seroquel?, posted by Cass on June 26, 1999, at 0:09:15
> My doctor recently prescribed Seroquel to me. I was shocked to see that the patient information says the drug is for Schizophrenia. I have never been diagnosed with Schizophrenia. No doctor has ever mentioned any possibility at all of my having that disease. When he was prescribing the med, my doctor told me that the drug was just a sedative. Also, he abruptly discontinued my use of Lorazepam, which he had prescribed to me for years. Is it possible that he prescribed the Seroquel for withdrawls from Lorazepam? Has anyone ever heard of a doctor doing that before? I know I sound clueless, but when I ask him questions, he starts spouting off medical terms which no layperson would understand.
