Every now and then, I would take maybe 50 mgs of Seroquel to get to sleep, and the next day I would not so much feel less anxious, but definitely a lack of intrinsic fear that comes with human interactions. This has plagued me most of my life, especially since college. That and obsessing over something always being wrong with me, my relationships, and the medication which is supposed to be helping me.
Something similar happened with Risperidone before it made me totally batty. Isn't this ability to curb paranoia what makes an anti-psychotic?
My friend said it also helped him with manic urges like drinking?
I guess my big question would be is can I expect this if taken on a regular basis or does that all change? Klonopin was awesome at first before the sedation of thoughts and emotions, followed by depression, started to overshadow.
Is is general consensus that Abilify is a better drug that Seroquel?
