oops messed up ...
anyway I was just going to add that I am taking a homeopathic dose of Seroquel (25-50 mg/day) for PTSD and that it has been quite helpful. It creeps up on you but the change has really been quite significant. As PTSD is sort-of anxiety, I thought I'd add my $.02.
Atypicals may be most useful for PTSD as far as subtypes of anxiety go; since PTSD flashbacks are sort of analogous to 'hallucinations' it makes sense that an AP might be helpful. I do get some mild sedation out of it but once this wears off after several days, I actually get more motivation.
For just standard anxiety (which I've had too), I'd rather take a daily homeopathic dose of klonopin (like those new .125 mg wafers) and then additional klonopin PRN. But that's just me.
