> Hey, I was just reading over this thread and I'm interested in what everybody has to say about Seroquel. I've been prescribed Seroquel for a number of reasons. My PDoc basically says that it's like I've been dealt a handful of cards, some cards from the typical depression pile, some cards from the anxiety pile, a few from the panic disorders pile, a few from the Post-traumatic stress pile, a few from the after-effects of alcohol/drug abuse pile, etc. Basically, I've got a whole bunch of different symptoms all thrown into one package. So I've been prescribed Seroquel which two Doctors so far have told me is pretty safe to take and should really help me out. The first Doctor told me that it was completely anti-toxic and that the only real problem that I should have to worry about in taking this, even in the long term, is that I'll be sedated for a little bit whenever I increase my dosage. But that she would recommend that I get myself up to between 100-200mgs of Seroquel a day, possibly more, and possibly with Lamotragene (sp?) as an add-on.

> Thanks........I am sorry, I didn't mean to post info to scare anybody. From what I understand, Seroquel is the very least worrisome about diabetes out of Risperdal/Zyprexa. Even with Zyprexa, if the benefits are great, I'd think it would be something that would just need to be kept an eye out for. Take care. John.
