Seroquel is an antipsychotic used to treat mood disorders including but not limited to schizophrenia. Most recently many drs have found it very successful in treating many other mood disorders and patients who are resistant to other sleep aids.

Im bipolar and have panic disorder. I can't seem to tolerate antidepressants, they activate me (google antidepressant stimulant syndrome). My pdoc prescribed seroquel to me with my lithium to help with the depression and anxiety. I just started taking it and we are tritating the dosage so Im not sure how well it will work. .
