Thanks so much for that. I'm having terrible bouts of anxiety. Perhaps I might benefit from using a bit more Seroquel. I just take the 50 mg before bed, and it kicks in quick. I just had an hour of escalating anxiety. The Vistaril they gave me for anxiety does nothing but make my mouth dry. I might see if 25 mg of Seroquel helps ease a bout of anxiety.

I know I should be working with a prescriber to adjust these meds . . . but those nurse practitioners are just experimenting, trying this and that. I don't think thete's much harm in me just seeing what works, myself.
