I have been on Seroquel 100mg at night for many years. I have tried to get off it but no Seroquel means no sleep. With heightened anxiety on many fronts my P'doc prescribed 25mg of additional Seroquel when I needed it and also to use it to head off my normal anxiety coping mechanism of bingeing.

His comment to me when he wrote the script was that is wasnt addictive (like benzos). Is Seroquel not addictive? I dont use the one prn everyday but I find myself using it more and more due to my anxiety levels. The drug itself might not be addictive but have to wonder if I am relying on this medication more where will it end?

My p'doc says he would rather me use the Seroquel to avoid bingeing. I am just worried that I am trapping myself into higher use of this medication.
