> My doc is trying me on Seroquel for anxiety, but for some reason I'm resisting this approach. I've read too many things on the internet suggesting it's not wise for anxiety, and the main reason these class of drugs are being touted for anxiety treatment is due to big pharma generating revenue.

Abilify, on the other hand, has left me in extremely agitated states, to the extent that I was literally shaking in my boots. Oddly, it's helped with my manic stage, but dropped me into the deep end depression-wise. Pristiq is now being added in to balance things out, along with Xanax.
I found Seroquel helped with anxiety, but I couldn't tolerate the sedative effect.
