My panic attacks have been stabalized with Seroquel. This was first prescribed for me in a roundabout way because I didn't immediately admit to my psychiatrist that I had a history of drug abuse. Once I was truthful about it, that was the end of the Xanax and Klonapin, which were only marginally helpful anyway.
In the past there have been some rather strong reactions on PB about my recommendation of Seroquel. I can understand that, because I have the same reaction to any mention of Depakote, which was a horrible drug for me. However, I would not presume to tell anyone that they should avoid Depakote if their doctor prescribes it.
Seroquel is a strong anti-psychotic and I'm sure that some have had an adverse reaction to it, but some people also have an adverse reaction to penicillin. For me, Seroquel has been a godsend.
My bipolar symptoms have stabalized, my anxiety attacks have stopped, and my insomnia is gone.
