Seroquel for anxiety, social anxiety & PTSD

Posted by Missyb57 @missyb57, Apr 2, 2016

I have had anxiety & social anxiety since childhood, i am 59 female. My PCP has always treated me I have been on Xanax for at least 15 years I currently take a half milligram at bedtime on a regular basis and I take a half a milligram whenever I'm having an anxiety issue. I only get 24 1 milligram pills per month so I make them last all month. I have tried Prozac but I did not like the way that it made me feel. I also tried Cymbalta and had a major panic attack after just two pills and had to go on high doses of Xanax and Xanax XR to get through that. My PCP now wants me to take Seroquel titrated up to 200 milligrams per night. After reading all the side effects of it it literally gave me an anxiety attack just reading it. I know when I tell him that I can't take this pill he's going to be upset with me has that's the way he is. Anyone have used Seroquel for anxiety and PTSD here. Thank you.

Scott Peterson killed his wife Lacy and their 8 month old baby. It was all over the news. That was the most well known. They lived about 3 blocks from me. But it’s been approx 10 years +. Don’t remember a husband and wife.
