My understanding is that when one starts taking Seroquel, it works fast. If that is true, I guess you could start on it and just see if it helps or not. I guess the potential danger might be if it sends one into a psychotic episode before the person discontinues it.
I'm wondering if you went back on just seroquel, but at a higher dose than before, if that would help.
