Seroquel?

[brightenmyday]

I'm new to this whole thing but basically long story cut short over the years I've been diagnosed with depression, gad, PTSD and OCD have tried medications before ( lexapro, lovan and pristiq) and had horrible side effects (suicidal thoughts, horrific nightmares, increased anxiety) and could never make it past a few weeks.
I have an actual fear of taking medication the whole messing with your brain chemicals freaks me out! I have tried and am still currently in therapy doing CBT and I find it does help a little but the everyday anxiety attacks and constant worry are still there and depression has come back alongside with a complete loss of appetite so my doc has prescribed me a low dose (1/2 a 25mg tablet) of Seroquel. I've taken 1 dose and freaked out all night and woke up with anxiety too. I realize everyone is different but has anyone taken this for anxiety and its worked? I know a lot of mine is to do with not the drug reaction but more my fear of it.

Hello there :) I can fully understand why you fear any tablets as I was the same,I've had panic attacks for years now,tho I've now only started getting Intrusive thoughts the last 3 weeks and it's scared me,so I went to the doctors and they put me on sertraline (Zoloft) I to like you was not sure i wanted to be on anything but I thought you know what I'm going to try I'm going to try because I want to help myself and I want to get back to being me,I know it's hard when you have a fear of something,something new to try etc,it takes a good few weeks of anything like tablets to take full affect,please try and be Patient as they take time to work,also there's so many out there to try and I do belive there is one for you :)

Hi! I've had anxiety for 6 years and have tried a lot of meds to get it right. I am now on 200 mg Seroquel, 15mg Remeron and 1 mg klonopin, the klonopin as needed for extreme times. This seems to be the best combination for me. I am now in remission!!! Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. Oh yeah, I take all of them in the morning rather than at night. Bless You All! Dan

Hi I have been in celexa for years and it never really help. Started seroquel in January this year. At 200mg now and I feel that it help with the high anxiety I used to have. Yes I still worry a lot and an suicidal but it helps me not get to the point of getting to the ER.
