Seroquel? What does antipsychotic mean?

Posted by Lynne on February 8, 2001, at 9:57:04

Can anyone give me a laymans explanation of a antipsychotic drug such as Seroquel? Is it like a AD in that it has to build up in your system to work? Or is it like Activan were in goes in and out of your system?

I am looking for something to help me sleep. I don't like sleeping drugs such as Ambien, Temazapan. I feel mentally drained the next day.

Thank you
Lynne

Seroquel is wonderful for sleep--from the first dose you take. Its very powerful. I took it for a couple months (I don't have psychosis).

Seroquel has an anti-manic effect, but little antidepressant effect. Zyprexa has more of an antidepressant effect when combined with Prozac, according to the latest study.

Thanks for the information. I am taking Seroquel for ocd. I tried Zyprexa and I liked it but I could not stop eating.I hope Seroquel will work. As for Prozac and Zyprexa , they are coming out with a pill that is made up of both Prozac and Zyprexa together. It will be out this year. It sound great.

Thanks Again,
Lynne
