In reply to why even try?, posted by Christ_empowered on July 3, 2010, at 15:35:07
> seroquel really isn't what I'd call a first-line treatment for anxiety. And you had pretty bad akathisia so..I'd say "NO!" to that suggestion. Long-term treatment with a neuroleptic can result in tardive akathisia, which basically means your akathisia has gone from a temporary condition to a permanent one, that will remain even after the drug is withdrawn.
Props for your anxiety reducing method of posting.
>That's a high price to (potentially) pay for an anxiety treatment.
> Plus, Seroquel sucks.
For who? You? We should be talking about the poster or sharing personal experience (and referring to it as such)
The Seroquel people are always getting sued over diabetes, tardive dyskinesia, and other probs.
> Can you take something, anything else?
"why even try" seems a very insensitive way to start a post to a fellow babbler in need of help.How familiar are you with this posters full diagnosis, present and past, his full range of symptoms, etc.? Are you really qualified to suggest to him "why even try"?
Are you a pdoc?, it seems you are prone to make negative comments that may be of detriment to posters taking the meds you bash.
