In fact, when Seroquel is used at low doses, like 25mg, it's basically just a strong antihistamine. It hits the same receptors as stuff like Benadryl.

Take care.
The problem with all antihistamines is weight gain! I'm currently taking 200mg of over the counter sleep meds (main ingredient is what Benydryl is made of). When my doctor found out she about flipped. We are trying to get me off of it and even strong benzodiazepines can't compete!
