In reply to Seroquel for MDD, posted by tensor on November 12, 2011, at 9:29:53
Seroquel is a medicine that takes effect pretty quickly. If you didn't experience a lot of sedation, that's good. Seroquel really should be used along with an antidepressant, rather than on its own. The mechanism through which Seroquel helps with depression is by exerting effects on the NET (norepinephrine transport), effectively increasing norepinephrine levels in the brain. It doesn't raise seratonin levels, which is pretty important in treating depression.
