Can anybody share about being on SEROQUEL?

@derryman 100 mgs is low dose, so perhaps it was given to you for anxiety or sleep? I have been on that dose for both of those reasons for years. It is an atypical antipsychotic but off label use at low dose is usually for the above reasons or as an augmenting agent. Higher doses are for bipolar and schizophrenia. Hope this helps!

@derryman -- thinking of you and wondering how things are going with the anxiety and sleep challenges you were experiencing?
derryman, how long have you been going through this. I have had Anxiety and depresson for years on and off. This time i have been battling it for a year and a half. In the past, i have went into remisson...this time i have not. Iam now 72 years old. I wonder if that has something to do with it. There are some days that are better than others. I just wish it would go away. I also have a irregular heartbeat that causes anxiety and i take 60 ER propranolol for it. I take 250 mg er seroquel, 45 mgs of Mirtazapine and buspar, and lisinopril in addition to the propranolol. I feel like a walking drugstore. I wish i could get off some of these drugs.
So many meds Maybe your MD should review any complications / effects from that mix of drugs
Mine too derryman. Everyday day starts with Anxiety and depression and a irregular heartbeat. Iam taking Seroquel 200 mg,, Mirtazapine 45, Lisinopril, propranolol, and buspirone. Iam literally fuzzy brained all day. I would love to feel dtrong and in charge of my emotions. The Anxiety is awful. Iam 72, iam afraid this is the way iam going to be for the rest of my life. God help me.
