Hi Phillipa,I just wanted to let you know that, while I have never tried Seroquel, a friend of mine has been on it for close to a year and is doing very well. She has recurring depression, anxiety and more often than not can't sleep at night. She used to have a lot of fears about doing certain things (taking the bus, going places without her husband, except to work and even then he drove her and picked her up, being in the house alone . . .). Anyway, she is on the lowest dose of Seroquel, which she takes at night. She gets a great night's sleep, her anxiety has subsided and she is no longer fearful of doing things like riding the bus, being alone in the house, etc. I know it is scary to think about taking an antipsychotic, but, they aren't just for people with psychosis. My friend does not have any pyschotic features at all. I think at a certain point you just have to give the meds a chance to do what they are supposed to do, and try not to label yourself because of the med you are taking.
I hope you find some relief soon.
Take care.
