After I was up to 300 mg, my doctor told me he wanted me to try to function without the xanax, I was so frustrated because I had just begun to cope. But he was right. For me and my anxieties Seroquel has been fabulous. I not only cope, I function!

I stay in my bedroom, have been there for three years. Before the Seroquel, if I left the house it had to be planned out to the most minute detail. I knew where we were going, the route we were taking, what exactly we were going for etc. My first outing after being on Seroquel I was faced with two separate 10 rated anxiety situations that didn’t phase me a bit.

Now don’t get me wrong, it hasn’t turned me into a social butterfly. I still prefer being home, but I am now able to go out in the world and function when I have to.

I know pink had some horrible side effects on 25 mg, I did too, you’re a zombie. My doctor anticipated this I started taking the meds on Monday and had an appointment with him on Friday. I told him there’s no way in hell I can keep taking them, it’s horrible. He said “stick with it, it’ll get better.” It did. For some reason the higher the dose the less the side effects. They were horrible until I started taking 200 mg.

But, like I said, it hasn't been really great for the depression that I now find as a part of my cycle.
