> has anyone ever experienced suicidal ideation on seroquel

Do you feel an increase in anger or anxiety? Is this the first time that you have had these thoughts? For how long have you been taking Seroquel? Are there any situations or personal issues that might explain your feelings?

The appearance of anger or anxiety can increase suicidal ideation. Neither of these things are the usual reactions to Seroquel, but I became irritable on Seroquel almost immediately. This was uncharacteristic of me. I stopped taking it within a week. I do not get irritable on other antipsychotics. I did not feel suicidal, though.

Vraylar was reported in clinical trials to produce akathisia at a rate similar to that of Abilify. Rexulti was a little better. You could either wait to see how others react to these drugs first, or try them anyway. You would know within a week whether or not akathisia emerges. Vraylar looks good for depression and negative symptoms. I haven't studied Rexulti as much. It might be better for psychosis while retaining some antidepressant properties, but that is only a guess based upon its pharmacology.
