Well, almost. Drugs such as haloperidol are the prototypical antihappiness drugs. Seroquel is among the "new generation" antihappiness drugs, and it appears somewhat more benign in that respect. So I wouldn't call Seroquel *the* antidrug for happiness, but rather *an* antidrug for happiness.

If the acute adverse effects of neuroleptics ("antipsychotics") aren't enough of a deterrence, the well-known toxicity associated with their chronic use ought to be sufficient to discourage their use altogether.
