I'm going to get mine checked in 2 months but so far so good..takes about 3 weeks to fully work and dosage depends on your condition..mine is for compulsive skin picking..it works

That does give me hope. Since being on Seroquel I have been diagnosed with diabetes and am keeping an eye on my blood sugar. I would be very happy to lessen my angst levels by not reverting back to Benzo's or more Seroquel. Now that I come to think of it, my blood sugar levels have come down since I have dropped my Seroquel from 100mg to 50mg. Good thinking.
