Hi.
I admire your determination to improve yourself. I wish you luck on your quest.
It sounds like you have schizoaffective disorder rather than a psychotic depression.
Seroquel turned out to be a better drug than was initially thought. It really can promote a stabilization of psychosis, but the dosages need to be higher than what is effective as a sleep aid. I think one would need 300-600mg to obtain the desired antipsychotic effect. Even at these therapeutic dosages, Seroquel carries a reduced risk of those things that concern you as long-term side effects.
