Seroquel appears to be the least dangerous of the atypicals which are far less dangerous than the original antispychotics.
but not everything is know about any new drug, so there are some risks. i think the equation one must consider is what alternative do you have? for anxiety, i think atypicals are probably overkill, and certainly zyprexa, which is linked to obesity & diabetes, would not be worth it. but if the anxiety has de-realization features & suicidal thoughts along with it, well, maybe getting soaked down by benzos isn't all that great of an idea long term.
