Woooooooooohoooooooooo!
Xanax and Seroquel are the two that knock me like a baseball bat. The alternative to a whole bottle of scotch. (Neurontin (gabapentin) didn't seem to do anything for me)
That point about the antipsychotics causing psychotic symptoms is an interesting one.
My experiences have been while off Seroquel. But I had recently come off 3 weeks Prozac monotherapy, and was out of my tree with mixed state symptoms at that stage. I'd be inclined to point fingers at the SSRI causing such distress, at least in my case.

My T's exact explanation was apparently antipsychotics can sometime cause psychosis and that change in medicine (even though it was small) was what caused the psychosis. I don't believe her. I think she's blaming the easiest explanation.
