Can Seroquel cause extreme panic attacks?

Posted by lunksmoo on October 6, 2009, at 4:08:22

I am coming off of Emsam 12 mg. about 3 weeks ago (gave me bad orthostatic hypotension), and doc started me on Seroquel 50 mg, then upped it to 100 mg. Since then I have had the most frigtening panic attacks of my life; sitting pulse of 160, BP 187/105, chronic chest pains, hyperventilation, extreme dizziness. I thought Seroquel was supposed to have a calming effect? By the way, I am not bipolar or Schizophrenic, my doc is giving it to me for treatment resistant depression (by itself). I was reading online the FDA hasn't approved it for unipolar depression by itself.
