Seroquel - does it really help anxiety..?

Posted by jms600 on January 29, 2008, at 17:19:02

Hi everyone,
I've been taking Seroquel now for 13 days. My psychiatrist initially put me on 25mg at night, and then raised this again to 50mg last week. I saw him again yesterday and told him that there had been no improvement in my anxiety and crippling panic attacks.
He has now raised the dosage to 100mg (25mg in the morning and 75mg at night), but I still don't feel any better on the stuff.
Should it have kicked in by now? Is 13 days not really long enough to experience any positive effects?
I've been taking Mirtazapine - cycling between 45mg and 30mg. My psychiatrist has pulled me off it and is now trying me on 10mgs per day of Cipralex/Lexapro - I start tomorrow.
Is it time to give the Seroquel up as a no-hoper?
Thanks!
