Hi OldSchool,
I am reading the archives to find out more about Seroquel and I am starting to get a major anxiety attack cause I have been on it for a little over 2 months.
I am curious - did the EPS go away, or do you still have it?

> Using any type of anti-psychotic medication for insomnia and anxiety is a totally incorrect use of these drugs. You are risking all sorts of serious side effects from taking neuroleptics, even in low doses for short periods. I suffered a BAD case of EPS from taking just 50 mg Seroquel for slighly over one month!

> Benzos are the correct medications for anxiety and benzos can also be used for insomnia on an as needed basis. Benzos do not have a bad side effect profile and are very very safe, despite the addiction risk.
