In reply to Can Seroquel work as a good anti-anxiety-AD?, posted by highanxiety on February 14, 2003, at 17:43:13
Hi,
I used seroquel for obsessive-compulsive thoughts and it was fabulous. I'd be lying in bed, my poor crazy mind going round and round its same tired loops, and the seroquel just broke up the crazy thought trains and stopped them dead. Aaaah, what relief!
I only used it at bedtime, and for short term. I've tried it for more garden variety anxiety and it didn't do much. I'd be afraid to rely on it daily due to the fear of the movement disorder side effects.
I had a hard time with using a drug with that name 'antipyschotic', after all, I'm not psychotic, right? But if you think about it, psychosis is just your mind creating too much stuff on its own, and so is OCD. It's just the nature of the thoughts that are different.
