I've taken Seroquel for mania and psychosis. My psychiatrist hates that many doctors prescribe a low dose like yours for sleep. He hates it because it's not for sleep. It's sedating but it's an antipsychotic- serious meds.

That's why my daughter's PDoc took her off of it. She was prescribed it while inpatient and tends to be a night owl so I'm guessing they used it to get her into a more normal sleep schedule, and possibly for her depression too. Her regular PDoc didn't think she needed it and took her off of it after she was discharged.
Diagnosing a Mental Illness is like a mystery. You have to look at all of the facts, rule stuff out, and it can take a lot of time.
