> Smaller doses (e.g. 25-100 mg) are what I usually see just for sleep. But at a therapeutic dose (e.g. 300 mg) it can be additionally beneficial for anxiety/depression. I'm actually considering it in that range as a mood stabilizer due to a soft bipolar tendency.

Have you heard of LOW dose Seroquel as an adjunct for anxiety? In another thread on this board, I've stated that we are in a "discussion" with our daughter's pdoc over an out-of-state specialist's recommendation to add Seroquel to her SSRI for Social Anxiety. He categorically refuses to because of the sedation issues and says he hasn't seen it used for anxiety. She does have fatigue, but she's on Lexapro and she has a sleep phase shift with mild sleep apnea which no one seems to want to address.Anyways, we are diligently looking for any and all literature for atypicals or anything else being used as add-ons in social phobia. Thanks.
