Hi,
I've gone through your query and I understand quite well your concern
Seroquel as it is known, is approved to treat
schizophrenia and
bipolar disorder.
But some new studies suggest that this medicine may also help to cure
major depression and
generalized anxiety disorder.Patients taking Seroquel showed greater improvement in depression symptoms in all the things that are impaired when you're depressed:sleep, appetite, suicidal thoughts,etc.
It's important for you to know that patients on Seroquel experienced a significant improvement in depressive symptoms as early as the fourth day of treatment, while the patients on antidepresants don't respond until they have had at least two weeks or a month of antidepressant therapy.
Also, you should know that patients anxiety levels has dropped and anxiety symptoms, such as trouble sleeping and relaxing, began to improve while on Seroquel.
I suggest you to stay on this medication for a period and to see improvements, but you should contact frequently your specialist.
Hope this information is helpful to you,
Dr. Ermira Biu
