In reply to Seroquel for Depression ?, posted by Scott L. Schofield on January 6, 2000, at 10:39:45
My doctor put me on Seroquel briefly for depression. At one point, I was shocked to find out that it was commonly used for Schizophrenia. I wrote a thread asking about it some months ago. I believe it was JD who responded, telling me it was commonly used for depression as well. My doctor never mentioned tardive-diskinisia (Did I spell that right?) I had to discontinue Seroquel after about a week becuase it had such an extreme sedating effect on me. It would have been extrememly dangerous for me to drive after taking it, and I always woke up in the morning feeling hung over. I was on a very low dose. That was perhaps an unusual reaction. Maybe it will work better for you. That's my experience. Good luck.
