Can anybody share about being on SEROQUEL?

I have a question. I’m on Seroquel. Haven’t been on it very long. My psychiatrist knows I’m terrified of meds. Going on them and if needed withdrawing. I’m paranoid. I have only been taking 6.25mg 3 times a day. Not even 25 mg. But my anxiety is so high. He said it’s a very low dose to try 1/2 in am and 1/2 in pm. But if needed another 1/2 in middle of day. But I have asked several times if it’s addictive. He said a person could stop it anytime up to 300 mg. But when I’ve read different posts about Seroquel. I don’t want to go beyond 25 mg. I’m very sensitive. He told me that I haven’t had a reaction with it. I know I’m not getting better with my stress anxiety. So I figured I’ll try it again with the 1/2 in am and in pm. I haven’t tried that dose for a whole week. Plus I see a therapist too. Thank you. Flo

Seroquel can be very difficult to discontinue. Do some research before committing yourself to this drug. This drug has also been linked to diabetes.

I took Seroquel for several years. Are you getting psychotherapy? Do you need it for your anxiety. I realize you were concerned about the dosage issues that perhaps other people have experienced. If you have an experienced psychiatrist all of his recommendations. I have major depression that is even resistant to treatment. I am in a study for it with a metal implant. I have been treated since 1985 consecutively. If you want to get better and I’m sure you do, some people do not, then give your doctor a chance. Your anxiety can’t keep you from getting better. I know this from myself. I suffer from a great deal anxiety also.
