Seroquel is being used as a way to keep people from getting a benzo by many doctors here in the US.

They dont even ask if you have high blood sugars or high cholesterol without adding a medication like Seroquel which is under a class action lawsuit for causing diabetes at present.

Bad stuff for those who don't need an anti-psychotic med to substitute for a benzo.

Like I always say: If they don't drop the bad meds, drop the Doc. :-)
