In reply to Is seroquel really helping me?, posted by Beckett on March 18, 2014, at 1:31:42
Sonata is benzo-ish, much like ambien...I think it really depends on the doctor. Psychiatry isn't science, you know...
...if you can avoid an antipsychotic, I would. Hydroxyzine (atarax, vistaril) is much, much cheaper than Seroquel and can help you sleep and maybe help with daytime anxiety. It also (I believe...) boosts antidepressants, though I'm not quite sure how.
200mgs/day isn't a lot, but if I remember correctly, its your lifetime exposure to neuroleptics that determines effects on the brain, TD risk, etc., so if you can taper and get off completely, my personal advice (and I *have* to take 30/Abilify daily, btw) would be to get off the Seroquel.Good luck!
