I was prescribed antipsychotics for PTSD. My psychiatrist first prescribed Geodon for me after I told him my fears of leaving my home, being scared of the outdoors, and being scared of strangers. Then Geodon produced horrible adverse effects, (akathisia, tremor, tardive dyskinesia). So, the doc switched me to Seroquel. On Seroquel, I still had akathisia and tremor. Also, Seroquel made me very sleepy.

I doubt the efficacy of Seroquel. Everyone I've seen on it (while I was admitted in Psych Ward and Partial) was very sleepy and groggy all the time. What good is that?
