> I'm not the best one to be replying to your thread but I kindda feel the same way you do sort of antimeds. But I did try seroquel once for a few days and I personally would try and get rid of it and substitute klonopin, valium, xanax, etc. Too little known and wt gain slim chance of TD not worth it to me. Fondly, Phillipa
The chance of TD (or weight gain) at 25mg, which is extremely subclinical (I take 900 and it isnt really considered clinical until around 400) is so remote that it is just as likely for a placebo to do so. I'm not negating your feelings with it -- none the less, there is always a concern of TD. If it actually has a psychiatric effect, then what you're experiencing is what I experience day in and day out, namely "blunting". Antipsychotics, by their action blunt affect -- emotions and one's ability to express them.
So yes, by all means, if such a low dose is already affecting you in that nature, then try a low dose of some benzodiazepine instead as suggested.
