at lower doses, pretty much all seroquel does is act like a way over-priced antihistamine...you can get similar results from Benadryl or Vistaril (hydroxyzine).

At higher doses, Seroquel loosely blocks D2 receptors; this loose blockade may allow for less EPS. It also blocks off some serotonin receptors, which may explain its anti-anxiety properties.
