I have to agree with missliz. I took Seroquel for 15 months and am now dealing with withdrawal symptoms that are much worse than what I took this med for. I took it for anxiety and to help with sleep. I began to feel like a zombie, withdrawing from people and having no motivation. It was stopped abruptly without tapering. It has been six weeks now off this med and I am just now starting to feel some subsiding of the symptoms of withdrawal.
I agree that AP's can be the right med for some people. But I believe they are prescribed way too often for people who really don't need them. Make informed choices and try alternatives if possible. If AP's are the right med for you then by all means pursue that direction. Just be sure to taper slowly off of them if you decide to stop. I cannot emphasis that point enough.
