In reply to Seroquel for anxiety/panic disorder?, posted by KaraS on January 30, 2005, at 14:03:40
hey! sorry i've taken so long to respond to everyone's questions about my dosage...it was 100mgs, once daily (nite time), but side effects popped up at 50mgs. I don't want to frighten people and sorry if I came off that way...its just that even the newest of anti-psychotics still carry a very real risk of tardive dyskinesia (which can be permanent even when detected early) and neuroleptic malignancy syndrome, in addition to all the other problems associated with anti-psychotics/neuroleptics. My shrink wanted to do antipsychotics for intense anxiety, but I refused b/c of the potential for side-effects and the lack of FDA approval for such purposes. So, now I'm doing a short-term benzo run and some intense CBT.
