> Well you can't take a benzo go off it and then just take an antipsychotic cause of withdrawal from the benzos. But they could be combined. I have tried seroquel. Wow it's strong compared to klonopin. Different classes of drugs. Love phillipa
You're probably more relating the H1 histamine sedation from Seroquel than the anxiety relief, unless I'm wrong ? I don't think you tried it that long.
Seroquel is heavily sedating and is not an example of what an average atypical neuroleptic does. At least not if you're not used to the rhinoceros stopping sedation.
Zyprexa is a bit different, in my opinion, in terms of transmitter binding -- it more heavily binds at muscarinic receptors in comparison (I've never quite understood these other than scary mushrooms, but they deal with cholinergic activities), and blockades 5HT2A, a site of hallucinogenic activity and one of the 5HT:D2 ratio sites of atypicals greater. It also is a thienobenzodiazepine derivative, shared only in structure with the highly esoteric benzodiazepine brotizolam. I wonder if there is anything more than a structural relation between the two. But at any rate though I probably shouldn't rechallenge Zyprexa with heavy handshaking, it made me sleep like it was a benzodiazepine. Quite curious.
The others you probably wouldn't want to try except at a small dose as the akathisia scale goes up sky high to Risperdal, of course this completely varies with some people snoring on Geodon and I'm crawling on the floor through up the walls.
