Seroquel is officially an antipsychotic. It is occasionally used for anxiety disorders, but I don't know about its use in panic disorders.
It will not work right away for panic like ativan does. It may take a few days for an effect.
Some people find it very sedating so it is probably best to take it at night.
I would personally have tried a different antidepressant, perhaps paxil or zoloft which are approved for GAD, seeing as seroquel is not.
The doctor may have prescribed seroquel because you said lexapro made you paranoid.
