In reply to Seroquel? What does antipsychotic mean?, posted by Lynne on February 8, 2001, at 9:57:04
Seroquel is wonderful for sleep--from the first dose you take. Its very powerful. I took it for a couple months (I don't have psychosis).
Seroquel has an anti-manic effect, but little antidepressant effect. Zyprexa has more of an antidepressant effect when combined with Prozac, according to the latest study.
> Can anyone give me a laymans explanation of a antipsychotic drug such as Seroquel? Is it like a AD in that it has to build up in your system to work? Or is it like Activan were in goes in and out of your system?
