I'm glad Seroquel works so well for you. Its not for me, but for some people, it can be a very good option. When people can tolerate it, Seroquel can cover a lot of bases--anxiety, agitation, (hypo)mania, psychosis, depression, etc.--and it has a better EPS profile than the older neuroleptics.

Weight gain and metabolic stuff can become an issue. There's always the issue of tardive dyskinesia. Ideally, a doctor will give people on Seroquel and other tranquilizers an AIMS test at regular intervals. That doesn't actually happen very often, so my personal advice would be to keep your dosage as low as you can and keep an eye out for early signs of TD.
