In reply to quetiapine [seroquel] makes me ANGRY and drowsy, posted by radish on January 22, 2019, at 19:21:12
Not to be discouraging, but I don't think that med is going to take you very far. I don't know your history or symptoms so it really isn't accurate for me to say that. I say it merely because if you scan the landscape for patients who found that med really good for them, you won't find a lot.
I will say the antihistamine part of it offers some benefit. But that's another story for another day - inflammation related.
The anger is probably from the NE stimulating part of it, and the drowsiness is the receptor blocking and antihistamine. It is a very bizarre thing to feel tired and yet wired at the same time. Been there done that. So sorry you have to deal with that!
In my book there really is only one good antipsychotic worth its cost and that is Zyprexa. I know people hate the weight gain of it. I've just never seen any others work better or longer - anecdotally speaking.
