Hi i m new and i have been suffering from enxiety and sometimes anger problems. My doctor prescribed seroquel now. But i have some doubts. I have checked your documents and reliazed that my problem is enxiety not depression. It is clear. So, do you think seroquel is ok?

Seroquel seems to be for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression. If you feel you have been misdiagnosed please do bring it up with your doctor. I don't know if seroquel would help since I do not take that myself but make sure your doctor knows everything and document things using a journal.

I think seroquel is an anti psychotic drug which helps address your sleep problem but it does not really help with your anxiety. Benzodiazepines do help.

I too, take quetiapine and mirtazapine and this combo is so helpful to me. Before i dont get good sleep but since i took them my sleep started to become normal.

Are you having trouble with your sleep? because being deprived of sleep triggers anxiety.

yeah I have sleep problems, especially nowadays. For example last night I went to sleep at 24.00 but I woke up at 6 a.m. But this is an unusual situation. Normally I sleep nearly 7 hours. But beccause of our baby it is not a good sleep. Besides, I think my sleep is poor, this is why I feel restless . I do want to continue with seroquel as it has a good sedative sides. But after 2 months, i would like to visit my doctor and ask him with enough feedback.

Hello,

I have noticed that seroquel seems to help me with anxiety and anger. It was prescribed for symptoms of bipolar 2 including insomnia.
