Why does Seraquel have such nasty side effects? I had no idea it's an addictive drug like the Benzos. I'm tired of second opinions. I've been sick for 61 years! Could my DR. put me on something to ease the side effects of tapering?

Is the reason you’re trying to get off of these two medicines you’re currently taking because of the side effects they cause? If side effects have been your problem I’m curious if you have ever tried the medication Zoloft. It’s an anti-depressant which is also used for OCD. My cousin takes Zoloft and has no side effects whatsoever. I’ve also read of other people who take it who are side effect free. Of course that doesn’t mean everybody will be. I take anticonvulsants myself and have found at least with them the side effects often decrease in severity if not completely go away if you can take it for between one and three months. I don’t know if antidepressants work the same way. Be a good question to ask your doctor.
Take care,
Jake
