I've used a low dose of Seroquel at night and prn during the day when my racing thoughts have tumbled out of control. Daytime use results in sleeping for about an hour and then I wake up with my thoughts much more in order.
I think AP's are overused by those who don't need them. But for those of us who do benefit greatly from them they can be a lifesaver. Yes, there are the risk of side effects but that is the price I am willing to pay in order to not lose my mind.
I've been fortunate in that my low dose has most likely resulted in no side effects. My experience with using Seroquel for anxiety has been to use a very low dose. Increasing the dose only resulted in more anxiety for some reason.
